Former Rangers star David Bates is set to complete a move to Championship side Wigan Athletic ahead of today’s English transfer deadline – according to a report. The Scottish Sun reports that Bates will be allowed to leave German giants Hamburg after just 12 months, with Wigan beating Mark Warburton’s QPR to the Scotland international’s…
He didn’t help them regain their place in the top flight - they’re still in Bundesliga 2
I seem to remember someone on “Ibrox Noise” bumping up Bates as “Ranger’s big mistake!”, letting this “wonder boy” go, now he was helping Hamburg back to the top of German Football?
Bates was an old fashioned centre half…good in the air…but absolutely hopeless on the ground! His definition of passing, was to blooter the ball back to the opposing Centre Half!
I’m amazed that Wigan want him, but hope he’s successful.
