What they're saying

"
Rangers fans, we asked for your views on the signing of Daisuke Yokota from Hannover. If he's on the right wing, I assume Djeidi Gassama will play on the left. Not sure where that leaves Thelo Aasgard, especially if Derek McInnes wants to play two up front, given our volume of central midfielders.
