'FFS, that's pish': Some Gers fans surprised after Gerrard sanctions 6-figure Ibrox sale (Via HITC)

Several Rangers supporters are reacting with surprise to Serge Atakayi's Ibrox exit.

Atakayi made his Rangers debut under Steven Gerrard 13 months ago, but saw his progress stall upon suffering an injury that same afternoon.

A loan to SJK Seinäjoki followed, but with no more Gers appearances to speak of and six months left on his Ibrox contract, permanent return to Finland was announced on Monday. Here are just some of the Rangers-fan responses to news of Atakayi's two-year deal back at SJK... <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Strange, a thought he was a great prospect — #NS (@Orange_Bear_54) <a href="https://twitter.com/Orange_Bear_54/status/1211603647148236810?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 30, 2019</a></blockquote>   <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Why have a youth development system If we just get rid of them all the time ‍♂️ — Jordi (@TMB_Jordi) <a href="https://twitter.com/TMB_Jordi/status/1211605922637864960?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 30, 2019</a></blockquote>   <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Thought he was supposed to be the next big thing? — Don Simón (@Simon_RFC) <a href="https://twitter.com/Simon_RFC/status/1211604404891197446?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 30, 2019</a></blockquote>   <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Wait wit why — (@Alastair72_) <a href="https://twitter.com/Alastair72_/status/1211604632730034176?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 30, 2019</a></blockquote>   <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> I thought he had potential.
