Glad it’s all over ... but now I hopemorefollowJoeout

FEW Rangers supporters will be sad to see Joe Garner leave Ibrox and now Pedro Caixinha will hope that another handful follow him out of the club.

Some of the fans did take to Joe and he became a bit of a cult hero earlier in the season but he has generally been disappointing and I don’t think too many will be upset to see him join Ipswich Town. He gave his all, he put himself about and he caused defenders problems at times. But when you are a striker at Rangers you have to score goals, and Joe didn’t do that often enough.

His return of ten goals in his first season clearly wasn’t enough to convince the fans or Pedro that he deserved another crack at it next year at Ibrox.

The manager obviously feels that he is surplus to requirements, so it makes sense for Joe to leave and start afresh at Portman Road. A number of others are out of favour and Pedro will be keen to get those that aren’t in his plans out the door as quickly as possible because you don’t want unhappy players hanging about the club.

Hopefully a few more head out the exit door over the next couple of weeks as the squad takes shape for the new season.
