Anybody else of a certain age think like me that Jamie is the new Micky Leach? Will always be slagged off by those who know no better. They will only realise what he brings to the club when he is gone. I think he has become a better player this year to the degree that fans of other clubs are telling me that they rate him. Most improved player this season for me.

Leachy, he scored so many important goals for us.
A header against Villa that helped secure promition to the 1st division stands out, and of course the goal against Leeds.I have supported Rangers for 55 seasons, since March 1969.

Mackie will be in the starting 11 next seasonComment

I'm still lost with mackie lol really really want him just to work on his ball control I get nervous seeing him with it .everything else is brilliant defending heading shooting passing ain't bad. If he had a good touch he would be the best in our squad IMOComment

Thats my point. I think he is working hard on those parts of his game. He seems like he is willing to put in the hard yards. Good luck to him I say.Comment

Good analogy - Micky Leach got a lot of stick from some people but we were a better team when he was playing.Comment

good comparison with mickey leach - he was always the boo boys favorite but a very underestimated player...happy days!!!Comment

No chance. Same with Kenny, Derry, Buzz and only cause of his age Hill. Remember that these players played a lot of games and we just about survived relegation!
Hats off to Mackie. He earnt his place under Hughes over the likes of SWP. But Hughes will be signing a fair few players with far more quality. Moses of Wigan and maybe Johnson of Man City are being targeted.
Deserves a squad place for sure though and still think off the bench he could be a real asset.Comment

there
there is no comparisons at all really leach was absolutely hated for some of his career,
mackie is a much greater player
leach used to drift out of games because of his nervous reactions he wasnt the complete player at all really
but leach could always score some really vital goals
mackie on the other hand is going to sell for about 20 million pound in three years time he will be one of the greatest players in the premComment

Leach was the boo boy whipping post, but was the hod carrier for Rodney by being the centre forward (old speak up for front target man). Until you mentioned it I did not draw the comparsion. Leach and Mackie had different roles with Mackie playing wide which he is not suitable for. He is your fox in the box player but like Leach greater work rate than your overpaid star player, you knew what to expect and undervalued as was Keith Sanderson.
As for "mackie on the other hand is going to sell for about 20 million pound in three years time he will be one of the greatest players in the prem" no chance,.Populus fui meus nomen , tamen meus nomen est non meus nomenComment
