Report on today's U13 tournament at Stenhousemuir http://rfcyouths.wordpress.com/2013/01/13/13s-at-stenhousemuir-tournament/

At the time Rangers couldn't afford it. It now been over taken bu UEFA, the 32 qualifiers for next season's CL will be invited to take part in a parallel youth tournament. http://www.uefa.com/uefa/mediaservices/mediareleases/newsid=1905480.html

Our youths don't have a league play in never mind the Next Gen Series

A wee article on former youth player Daniele Fortunato http://rfcyouths.wordpress.com/2013/01/10/daniele-fortunato/

For the development games after New Year eight "elite" clubs will play each other home and away from U11's through to U 17's. Elite status is awarded on a number of criteria, including coaches, facilities etc. I believe only six clubs meet all the criteria so another two will be invited.
-
A hobbyist, been offered scouting work, but to do it properly I would have to give up watching Rangers so didn't take it up.
-
No player on loan unless it was very recent, it was probably Gordon Dick who was released in the summer. He was a decent player coming through the age groups but stopped progressing. Both Ants Marenghi and Adam Hunter joined Ayr United in the summer after being released.
-
This is another example of where our current setup is failing. We only entered the SFL reserve league. So competitive football above U17's ended with the defeat to Killie in the Youth Cup. There are a group of players like Charlie Telfer, Craig Halkett, Jamie Burrows for example, who are now restricted pretty much to bounce games. 17's still have Glasgow Cup games and Elite Development games start in the NEw Year.

Rangers U20's lost 2-0 to St.Johnstone on Friday. Yet another closed door game, not even players parents were to be allowed in. Although they forgot to tell St.Johnstone this, so when some of them turned up there was a change of heart, small comfort to the Rangers parents that didn't travel to Murray Park. Details are limited, don't expect anything on the official site, coaches are always very quiet after a defeat.

I don't think he was every ahead of McKay and Aird to be honest. Mckay was a regular at U19's while Aird broke into the 19's in 2nd half of the season. Charlie wasn't involved at 19's last season. He was regularly a sub at 17's under Sinclair, until Mark Wotte gave him high praise and all of a sudden he was starting games. He was injured first few months of the season but is fit now, he is one of a group of players in a kinda limbo due to decisions made on what leagues we would play in. Unlikely to get much game time with the reserves and no other competitive games to play in these players are restricted to friendlies. I do think Charlie has a chance but this season has been a waste of time for him and a few others, yet another example of the failings of the current setup.

13′s Beat The Weather And Accies Report on today's game http://rfcyouths.wordpress.com/2012/12/09/13s-beat-the-weather-and-accies/ Accies centre-forward Aidan Lafferty along with Rangers Stephen Kelly were the standouts on show. The Accies boy has already been at Man Utd on a couple of occassions. Neither are Sinky type players much too small for his liking. I have already highlighted his record in "buying" players, with Him, Tom O'Neill and Billy McLaren in attendance it would be interesting to know their thoughts on the game Tom Walsh's late substitute appearance on Saturday means he can put a spin on how good a job he is doing
-
He has been at Rangers for a while now, what I didn't know was that he was also working for Falkirk
-
Following on from "How come 10 players you released are now being selected for Scotland youth squads ?" And "Why did you release 11 players you bought without them reaching the youth team ?" This is another "please explain" question for Sinky That was long before Tom O'Neill was at Rangers. Murray Wallace is the only one Falkirk have sold on but there are a few in their youth teams that were at Rangers, 17yo Connor McGrandles has scored for Falkirk 1st team a couple times in recent weeks.
-
Don't know too much about him, I know who he is and that some scouts report to him As far as I'm aware he is in charge of scouting at the younger age groups
-
Sinclair brought him to Rangers when Celtic bumped him, I didn't know he had two jobs. Will he now be full- time at Rangers under the current youth regime ? http://www.falkirkfc.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=6200&Itemid=320
-
Me too I'll be going and the vast majority of people I know who go regularly will go too.
-
I intend to go to the game as do most of the people I know that go to away games
-
Might just be a coincidence but all the youth team pictures have now been updated.
-
Haven't heard anything, some of those that have never watched a youth game in their puff tell us everything is great because a couple of players have played 3rd division football. SIX of Killie's team yesterday have played in the SPL, more of a concern is how Mark O'Hara, Mark Taylor and Chris Johnston have developed since Sinky decided they weren't good enough. A good pic of the three stooges on the official site http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/galleries/item/2773-youth-cup-gallery Where as they are quick to promote themselves on the back of a win or when a player is called up for international duty, there is no surprise that none of them have any comment to make about yesterday's game.
