Whilst Ramsay is a fine young talent, I completely disagree. Patterson is the closest thing to Tierney, albeit opposite flanks, to have come out of Scotland since his emergence.
The reasons he has not played for Rangers too much thus far are clear, I've went through them before. The player in his role, is not only captain but had the most assists and goal attributions in the team. It takes a massive gamble for an "old firm" manager to make that change. Ramsay has a free shot at it in comparison, and in that very same comparison, I can't see how a neutral could come up with the evaluation? He'll have a good career, but Patterson will have a fantastic one.
In respect of Hickey. I like the player very much. Completely two footed, which is actually surprisingly infrequent in top level football, not many are as confident on both feet as he is. Adapted relatively well to Seria A, although was dropped recently before regaining his place. Again, I'd place Patterson well above him in terms of current ability, Hickey could develop to his level, without having the same physical prowess that is so important in the EPL.
Anyways just my observations. What I do know is we are a long way to securing one. And it ain't Ramsay or Hickey.
