Nice words from a good Pro.I wish him well.

Sieb22 · 04/5/2016 6:00 pm

Classy statement from a true gentleman. Wish him well too

Silver · 04/5/2016 6:13 pm

Always gave his all, and I'll always have a wee soft spot for him. All the very best.

TheShed · 04/5/2016 6:32 pm

1 guy whose commitment and effort have never been in question. Good luck to him whatever he does next.

Tangerine'n'Black · 04/5/2016 6:47 pm

Wish Rankin well, find it hard to fault the man this year just wish others had same commitment.

SuperMario · 04/5/2016 6:57 pm

Wish him all the best, great pro but sadly probably the right thing to do! He personally probably knows he needs a fresh start

lifesanocean · 04/5/2016 7:45 pm

First Utd-related statement that's not been a minter. Good luck Ranks. See you in a few years on the ex-Utd player managerial merry-go-round. Class act.

motherwellarab · 05/5/2016 9:15 pm

Wish him all the best for the future very average player but always gave 100%

arabugsy · 06/5/2016 8:35 pm

Consummate professional and probably still the fittest player at the club.

Just watched yesterdays Arabzone press conference.

Question to Rankin.

'What positives can you take from your 5 years at Dundee United'?

Answer - 'The privilege of playing for this club.It's a huge huge club.I've loved every minute here'.

Fucking love that attitude.He'll always be welcomed back to Tannadice.

Question to Bodul

'What positives can you take from your time at Dundee United'?

Answer - 'The privilege of being able to buy top clobber with my overblown wages and being 'kin magic at keepy ups on Instagram'.

Signs a one year deal with Falkirk.

Good luck John Rankin.....but not against us though.

He'll do a job for Falkirk.

Tek · 22/7/2016 10:12 pm

I think he'll do well there too.

Good luck to the guy (apart from against Utd of course).

In all honesty what did he actually contribute as a player. Nice guy and that but imo he's no loss.

100% agree I keep hearing people say he gave 100% but why praise a player for giving his all? It's his fkn job to try his best no player should be praised for trying players should be praised for having good or great games

It's in the same vein as thanking a taxi driver and giving him a tip. A gesture of appreciation.

What a miserable bunch some of you lot are!

A gesture of appreciation is fine but making him out to be something he's not is wrong imo.

I have seen no evidence of that. Can you enlighten me?

Arab_plumber · 24/7/2016 7:32 pm

All over social media folk saying he should stay.

In all honesty, I thought the main reasons folk wanted him to stay was because
1 - he was one of very few who looked like they actually cared
2 - he was a character in the dressing room
He may have done a job in the championship but a fresh start was needed by both parties I think.

On another note, I think we've recruited in that area really well. Murdo looks a player and Willo's still same old Willo. Early signs are really promising.

So how does that make him out to be something he isnt ? Sorry, B&T, but that just doesnt make sense.
