Report on tonight's 15's game http://rfcyouths.wordpress.com/2013/10/08/15s-ease-past-morton/
-
Up till now Telfer and Murdoch were playing regularly and Stoney was generally on the bench. With the transfer window now closed and all new signings in the 1st team some players will miss out as fringe players will drop down.

I have to say the last three "youth" games I haved attended is as poor a sequence I can remember. Beaten and outplayed by Kilmarnock, Aberdeen and Motherwell at three of the older ages groups. Two things from last nights game sum up the shambles we have become. Kyle McAusland became the 5th right footed left back we have used at under 20 this season. Three left backs were released last season. Late in the game we were awarded a free kick just outside the right side of the penalty area, an ideal opportunity for a left footed player to have a strike on goal. We didn't have a naturally left footed player on the pitch. In my opinion things won't get better until there is a change.

A couple injured or unavailable, Robbie McCrorie was away with Scotland, Adam Wilson, Ryan Hardie and Josh Jeffries injured or Ill, and Jordan Hammill also missing (assume injured). It beggars belief that a club like Rangers cannot field an U17 goalkeeper and with Ryan Hardie unavailable we do not have another centre forward/striker. Fair play to the lad that played as the striker but its not a position he has played too often. If long balls to nobody is our head of youths vision for the future then god help us.

Probably the biggest factor was lack of competitive game time, there was a youth league, just that we weren't in it. A fair number of our younger players only had bounce games arranged at short notice to keep them playing. When the contract was on the table there was no clear picture with regards to us playing in the league this year ( we are in it), so a repeat of last season and little competitive football was a possibility. A decent footballing left-sided centre-back, personally I felt Gasparotto was ahead of him, but I think he has a decent chance of progressing. I believe if Rangers play hardball the compensation would be fairly significant, with Hamilton Accies possibly due part of it. I think its more likely they would come to an agreement with Coventry, possibly related to any progress he makes. He has to go down as a relative Sinclair success, he is one of the few he has "bought" that went on to gain a pro youth contract.

Yes you can, but I don't know if there will be many there this season. Under 20 games are being played at Dumbarton and Ibrox. Youth Cup games may be played there.

17′s Edge Out Queen’s Park Report from today's game http://rfcyouths.wordpress.com/2013/08/24/17s-edge-out-queens-park/

From what I can gather it was one of the French Regional Academies but I haven't been able to find out which one, I assume they are using the facility at Largs and that is why the game was there and not Murray Park. I don't know As I said in the report the Rangers team looked to be older and bullied them a bit first half and probably should have been more than two goals ahead. The French coaches changed things a bit second half and they were the dominant team. Rangers still tend to use Sinky's "hit the striker early" tactics, while the French played a passing game as you would expect. I wouldn't say any of their players stood out, but they played as a team.

Some Positive News At Youth Level For the first time in a while Rangers have the largest representation in a youth squad, long may it continue. U16's Squad Goalkeepers Ross Doohan (Celtic) Ryan Booth (Dundee United) Defenders Ross McCrorie (Rangers) Ross Lyon (Rangers) Leon Jones (Heart of Midlothian) Daniel Higgins (Celtic) Lewis White (Rangers) Jack McMahon (St Mirren) Midfielders Sean McKirdy (Heart of Midlothian) Frank Ross (Aberdeen) Ben Stirling (Hibernian) Joshua Laws (Fortuna Dusseldorf) Charlie Gilmour (Arsenal) Regan Hendry (Celtic) Kyle Clark (Rangers) Forwards Alistair Coote (Dundee United) Calvin Miller (Celtic) Josh Jeffries (Rangers) Ryan Watters (Motherwell) Ross Lyon, Ross McCrorie and Josh Jeffries have been at Rangers since a young age. Ross Lyon is attracting interest from EPL sides, a player with good technique plays in midfield or at right-back on occassions. Ross McCrorie is a centre-back , he hasn’t quite had the same profile as his brother Robbie but that could change in the future. An accomplished defender who is progressing well. Josh Jeffries is a skilful attacking player. I believe his best position would be supporting the main striker but has played in a variety of attacking roles. Lewis White joined from Musselburgh Windsor a couple of years ago, he has really taken off since moving to left-back. Was in the Hibernian youth system a few years ago, exciting attacking full-back who gets forward at every opportunity. Kyle Clark is a new recruit who was previously at Dundee, as yet I haven't seen him play, but should rectify that this weekend.
