  1. In my opinion its too important a decision to take a gamble. I would prefer to see it advertised and a quality short list drawn up and then a choice made
  2. He was a coach at Dundee United at an age (22) when most of the top coaches would still have been playing, perhaps this is why was mentioned as a sort of Scottish "Mourinho". I don't think I actually seen any of his teams during his spell at Dundee United. He seems to divide opinion, some see him as an innovative young coach with fresh ideas, others see him as a maverick and a crack pot.

  9. Report on tonight's Glasgow Cup game http://rfcyouths.wordpress.com/2013/11/21/all-square-in-glasgow-cup-2/ The regression continues
  10. It was a great goal, but a very poor performance with the exception of the last 10 minutes. I have been to half the U20's games of of the five I could only honestly say we deserved to win the first one against Dunfermline, even then we lost four goals. Very fortunate to beat St.Mirren and draw with ICT and St.Johnstone, well beaten by Motherwell. Rangers 5 Dunfermline 4 Durie "I thought they showed great character to come back and win." Ross County 2 Rangers 3 Durie "They showed great character to get the third from Charlie and we were really comfortable after that." Dundee United 2 Rangers 2 Durie "“We showed a wee bit of character after losing the second goal so late on" Rangers 2 Inverness CT 2 Durie "“I was really happy with the fighting qualities we showed and I thought a draw was the very least we deserved" Rangers 2 St.Johnstone 2 "GORDON DURIE was pleased with the fighting spirit " So we have established the teams has character/fighting spirit. When can we see us outplaying and out passing teams ? Maybe a lineup with a bit of balance would help, do we have any naturally left footed players ? Playing players in their strongest position may also help. Top prospects Ryan Sinnamon constantly played at Left-back rather than his natural right-back. Tom Walsh shunted out left instead of his attacking central role that saw him break into the first team squad.

  12. Report on today's youth games http://rfcyouths.wordpress.com/2013/11/17/accies-double-header/ Interesting to note that Celtic were taking a big interest in these games. Head of Youth Chris McCart, Head of Head of Academy Scouting David Moss and at least one scout, John Morgan all in attendance. Planning to try and poach Rangers or Accies players ?
  13. Why ? He will be guaranteed a pay off what ever happens
  14. More likely to have been called off for similar reasons to McCoist cancelling the Forfar game. Really ? He is right that they have been scoring goals, 20 in 9 games, but have also lost 15. They have won 4 of those games, the wins coming against four of the bottom five in the league. I haven't been to all the games, but the games I have been to they have been disappointing. In their defence they are a young team, mostly Under 19's and too many of them are asked to play in what is not their strongest position

  16. Under 20's Grab A Late Point Report from today's game http://rfcyouths.wordpress.com/2013/11/05/under-20s-grab-late-point/

  18. He has been at Rangers since 2002, so pre-dates Sinky by some years, he was previously at Motherwell. Sinky appointed him Head of the Junior Academy, he seems to be doing a decent job at that level as the younger teams have a lot of talented players. Its difficult to judge at 7-a-side as its a totally different game when compared to 11-a-side, difficult to play a long ball game at 7's. He is a PE instructor in the prison service.
  19. Jim McNee heads up the Junior academy (u12 and below), Sinky has little involvement with the junior academy, not sure who the other coach was last night.
  20. Report on tonight's U12 game against Wolverhampton Wanderers http://rfcyouths.wordpress.com/2013/10/30/wolves-return-to-murray-park/

  22. Report and round up of today's games against Celtic http://rfcyouths.wordpress.com/2013/10/20/development-teams-meet-celtic/
  23. Not the best age group at Rangers, a couple of the first years who will feature in this years Victory Shield years would be my pick, Ross Lyon and Josh Jeffries. Ryan Hardie is the best of the 2nd years and has a chance if he keeps scoring when he steps up the levels. They are a few years away from being considered for 1st team football.

  25. Scotland under-15 squad: Goalkeepers Luke Williams (Heart of Midlothian) Aidan McAdams (Celtic) Defenders Grant Thorburn (Celtic) Daniel Baur (Heart of Midlothian) Shaun Bowers (Celtic) Dylan McKendry (Celtic) Jamie Boyd (Hamilton) Reis Peggie (Celtic) Jack Sherrie (St Mirren) Jason Krones (Rangers) Aidan Wilson (Rangers) Midfielders Ross McLaughlin (Celtic) Michael Johnston (Celtic) Lewis Doherty (Celtic) Jack Breen (Hibernian) Liam Burt (Rangers) John-James Henderson (Dunfermline) Lewis Turnbull (Stenhousemuir) Kieran Balfour (Ayr United) Forwards Broque Watson (Celtic) Scott Sutherland (Dunfermline) Samuel Jamieson (Rangers) Conor Scullion (Hamilton) Callum Morrison (Heart of Midlothian) Jack Vickers Morgan (Heart of Midlothian) We have five included for this get together, Kieran Balfour is at Rangers unless he has gone back to Ayr and I haven't heard, Celtic have 9. Jack Sherrie and Jack Morgan were released by Sinclair, Reis Peggie who was at Falkirk and Scott Sutherland knocked us back in the summer. Peggie joined Celtic and Sutherland chose to remain at Dunfernline. Following Gordon Young's departure from Motherwell as head of youth to join Sheffield United, Darren Young is to leave Hearts and join Coventry City. His teams are set out to play in the correct manner, on the deck, which is prevalent throughout the academy at Hearts. Maybe someday down south will come in for ours, we can only hope.
