    I wouldn't be too quick to lash into him. Birmingham will not be challenging for promotion in any shape or form next season, and might be drawn into a relegation battle. So that would be too seasons before he's looking at a Premier League tilt anyway.

    Rangers under Warburton could blow away the Championship next season, nay, they should do it. So for the start of the 2016 season, Kiernan more than likely will be playing for one of the best supported clubs in Europe, and in the top flight on a regular basis. Chances are if they get off to a flyer and he's playing well, he'll be looked at by top half Scottish PL teams.

    I have to be honest, I think it's worth the risk.

    People said Rangers would blow away the Championship last year too. They're a basket case of a club.

    I understand that. But they'd a good Hearts and a good Hibs side in their way before taking on Motherwell. It won't be anywhere near as tricky next season. A head to head with Hibs will be the league decider.

    St Mirren will be looking to go straight back up and Falkirk will be good too, plus Hibs' young team will have a year's extra experience. There won't be a runaway winner like Hearts but that doesn't mean it'll be easy.

    It's a funny one. I don't know how aware he is of his Irish heritage being from England, but he may well not know what he's getting into.

    Very strange. In one of the links in the previous page he states that "my family are all Irish". I guess he isn't quite as aware of the possibility of a negative reaction as he was born and reared in England. Or maybe he thinks something so petty couldn't possibly occur which would be nice, if not a little idealistic.

    Fair play to the lad for not letting the ridiculous sectarian nonsense get in the way of move. In this day and age things like that should be in the past. It's not as if he's moving from Celtic (or an ex-Celt) to Rangers. The only problem I have is the standard. Playing Championship football in Scotland won't get him a call-up.

    Kiernan has been left out of Rangers' Europa League squad for their first round tie with FC Progrès Niederkorn of Luxembourg, and was linked with a move to Preston earlier in the month.

    Preston site is claiming the club have been monitoring both Kiernan and James Tavernier (also of Rangers) for some time and a deal might not be too far off for the pair.
    If it happens Preston could almost field an Irish eleven.
