I am not convinced Rangers are JUST playing the system here. It may very well be a big part of it.
I know for a fact SG has been personally interested in Pattersons development for a couple of years now.
If SG thinks Patterson has a chance of making the Euros squad and this ban all but ends it then I could see where he is coming from.
We havent been at a major tournament for 20+ years. It would be terrific experience for the lad.
SG has been open in that he has spoken with Clarke about Patterson already. Scotland is absolutely desperate for a RB and for me Patterson is already streets ahead of ODonnell. He can run for a start.
I dont think that angle will bring much joy if they lead with it in the appeal though.
Its fine to express a frustration about how it may rob Patterson of a big opportunity. But it isnt a valid basis for an appeal.
