What Rangers must do with these five rising stars after Caixinha revolution
David Bates
Lofty defender Bates showed huge inexperience at the back when thrusted into the first team by Caixinha last season, and that must be taken into account when a decision is made on his future.
The 18-year-old seemed to be overawed during his eight appearances, hurrying clearances rather than keeping things single and being out muscled by opposition strikers.
With Alves, Cardoso, Kiernan and Wilson considered ahead of Bates in the pecking order, the Gers’ number 24 must cut his mistakes out while on loan with another club before returning.
In other Rangers transfer news, Caixinha should look to beat Hibernian to the signing of this striker on a free.
