The Republic of Ireland international played against Rangers reserves last week and seemed to do alright, although some reports suggested he had a bit of a nightmare. It probably didn't help that he was played in three different positions during the 90 minutes.
Media reports suggested yesterday that the interest in the centre half was over and the fact he didn't play in the reserve win over Inverness Caley Thistle would suggest that. With the transfer window closing next week, MacPherson has his work cut out to bring in some new faces.
One trialist who could be signing is Tcham N'Toya. The striker, who has spent the last few years in England, made it two goals in two reserve games yesterday and reports suggest he looked very impressive. Questions may well be asked if he isn't at least offered a contract.
