To cut to the chase: McCrorie gave a decent interview and you could tell the lad means it when he talks about the badge. Plenty will argue over whether he's good enough, but he looks like a player who will run his heart out for Rangers — and that matters to a lot of us.
Reaction to the interview
He spoke well, clear and measured. You heard the clichés, sure, but the conviction was there. There's a split among supporters — half comfortable with him, half less convinced about his quality. Both views are fair. To be honest, I can take a player who offers graft and pride; sometimes effort and attitude swing a season more than raw talent alone.
The 'me and Fergie' moment
Now, the bit that got ears pricked up — when he mentioned working under the Gaffer at Aberdeen and then said "obviously me and Fergie" while indicating behind him, before seeming to check himself. It was a small, slightly awkward moment and fans love to read into that. A Freudian slip? Maybe. Hopeful wishful thinking? Definitely.
Why we care — and why to be sensible
We’re all hungry for good signings and any scrap of a hint gets magnified. You can see why supporters would latch on to a comment like that and dream it points to Lewis Ferguson arriving. Truth is, one offhand line in an interview doesn't equal anything concrete. Still, moments like that give us something to talk about on the bus home and they keep the optimism alive.
So I’m with the OP on this: even if McCrorie isn’t the finished article, his attitude seems right. And as for the thumb and the name-drop, keep your hopes in check but enjoy the tease. Rangers fans have always been good at making a mountain out of a molehill — and sometimes those hills turn into something more. Either way, it was an entertaining bit of theatre from the lad.
