If he does go to Rangers, which I think will be a bad move fro him, where are they getting all the money from. Every day we read that they are looking to sign new players. Not bad for a club losing thousands of £ per month.
If we do cash in will that be the end of our time in Premier League, as he is such a vital part of the team

I just hope he's ready to start without adjustment time. He's played 60 games in the past 2 and a half years. My slight worry is he's not played a professional game since November.

When was his last MOTM performance? When did he last do anything eye-catching like a goal or an assist or a last gasp tackle, clearance or intervention? Versatile, yes, but poor at left back, not great at right back, and must be about 5th or 6th in line for a central midfield start in what I assume is his preferred position. I'm afraid it looks like time's up for Grant, and at 26 he hasn't quite made it. He could be a first team regular for a Championship side, so it's probably in his best interest to move on.
If he goes, he should go with all our best wishes, as a faithful long-term servant. 9 seasons in the first team squad, 6 of them in the top flight. More than 200 first team appearances, just 5 goals.

Well said. One screamer at Tannadice and one of the penalties at Easter Road. And a bit more besides.
