Plenty potential but heard bit of Billy big baws attitude.  Hopefully screwed the nut as could be good signing

I guess Lowry is a decent option to start addressing the gaping hole left by Slattery and Just. With Whyte and Booth hopefully stepping up this season, that’s encouraging too.

Now on X too.  Interesting loan signing.

It's a loan deal so up to him to prive himself. Happy with that. It's another midfielder and hopefully fit into our style of play

I saw him coming out his car at the HB game.

really promising young player at Rangers who’s career seems to have stalled. Certainly has ability but the rumours were always about his bad attitude but these are hopefully only rumours. There were always rumours flying about on old firm players due to their weird fan base.

Usually a bad attitude disappears with age when they realise its a big bad world out there, by then its too late for some. Hopefully he has a point to prove comming in on loan.

The Wycombe fans seem a bit peeved about it which is always good news. Not sure they are too happy with their manager who seems to prefer “run through wall” type of players to guys with ability.

Will wait until I see how he performs on the pitch before passing judgement, but on the face of it seems like a decent short term fix in midfield.

Not a great fan of loan players, particularly if it benefits a club in our league that is a direct opponent. However, he is coming from outwith and in a difficult to fill position, so if a permanent signing of the required standard isnt available right now, I could get on board with it.

Hope the rumours about attitude are just a load of shite and the boy can resurrect his career with some stellar performances and a bucketload of goals!

Lowry was highly thought of earlier in his career but for whatever reason it hasn't quite happened yet but we have a decent track record of getting players careers going again so hopefully this is another one of those times.

I feel the same. That's a couple of loan signings this window. Maybe these are to allow Matty or academy players a bit more time to achieve the required level and step up later in the season.

Having watched Lowry's highlights reel, he definitely has the look of a Slattery type player.

Very comfortable on the ball, difficult to dispossess, can pick a pass and takes a good free kick / penalty.

If he can resurrect that kind of form on a regular basis, Im all in.
