    Rangers lose 0-1. A Goian slip allowed Kilmarnock to take an early lead. A Papac red card made it impossible for Rangers to comeback.

    Bocanegra and Edu went 90. Bocanegra had a header that just missed the goal.

    Hmm, I think Edu should leave now.

    Given Rangers finance problems all three yanks should bail after the season

    Edu had a shot cleared off the line early on.

    I don't think this is shaping up to be the best year for Rangers.

    He can't leave until the next transfer window, which begins July 1.

    Unlike in American sports leagues, there are relatively small transfer windows in European club soccer. So it's not as easy as you're saying here.

    Yeah, because when things get tough, quitting is always the answer.

    They have their careers to consider.

    Edu has already given a lot to Rangers anyway.

    I think Bocas in a good spot for this point in his career. He could be a very good, calming influence needed during this time. He's been through some battles. He could cement his status as a cult hero.

    Edu is probably at a spot he needs to go to a bigger league to test himself.

    Bedoya might see more time if they have to clear the roster. If not, he'd be well served to move on.

    They have life to consider. Career is obviously an important part of that, as are relationships with individuals, team and community, concepts like happiness and loyalty. Maybe they do need to "bail", but my point is that a career move doesn't occur in a vacuum; if it did, I think we can all think of at least one player that perhaps should have made one.
