Best of luck Scotty

Sadly you'll probably need it up at that shambles, with Gerrard as manager.

Could be back here again on the Turf Moor pitch, if they get through their Europa Cup 1st round qualifying match. I hope he has another great few years up there he is decent bloke, he promised a friends son that he would get Sadio Mane’s shirt after the Liverpool game and he got it.

Good interview article on PA: Scott Arfield feels he left Scotland a "wee boy" and returns a "natural leader" who is ready to meet the expectations of playing for Rangers.

"Arfield signed the day after Rangers followed Burnley into the Europa League and the Canada international senses the teams are destined to meet."

That'd be something of an anti-climax.

I'll miss him next season. He's a far better player than some would suggest and his versatility over the years has been essential. We were never going to offer him 4 years though so he's right to move on. Gerrard must see him as a main man for them to offer such a long contact. Hope it goes well for him.

Thanks for Ewood Scotty lad, you'll never be forgotten!!

I wonder if he has any regrets about his choices re. international football having seen the (lack of) quality in the latest Scotland squad. I hope not.

Thanks for everything Super Scotty Arfield.

A good Championship player who couldn't raise his game to the demands skillwise and ability wise to the Premier league.
Good luck to him in the lower league North of the Border.
The rules are a little fluid and Scottie will have to vastly improve his tackling and ball retention.

That game meant much more obviously, but don't forget Micky Mellon scoring against Blackpool and running backwards lifting his shirt to highlight his name, towards the 20,000 tangerine army in the cricket field after they'd abused him all the match

I was in one of the corporate boxes for yesterday’s match and Scot’s wife came wandering through after the game to collect as many programmes with Scot on the front as possible. I had a brief chat with her and wished her and hubby all the best for life in Glasgow.

My favourite Scotty Arfield celebration was the finger wagging one after the late winner against Everton. Loved it!

Was a key figure in turning our club round. What a signing. Cant believe Huddersfield let him, but I guess they got their revenge with Wells !!

I know it will be that goal at Ewood that he is remembered for but another one that put a big smile on my face was that curler at Brentford, following the lay off by Andre Gray.

Good luck to him and a massive thanks
