Rangers can seal a 'Bosman' transfer to English League, says legal expert

hers a nice wee summary on the two yout set ups from a man who really really knows our youths.

 

I don't hate anyone, but I do expect better for the money we are paying out on the youth setup. One swallow doesn't make a summer as the saying goes.

 

If your are going to make a comparison then at least do it properly and don't pick one age group to suit your argument. Rangers best age groups are U17 & U18 and we are on a par with Celtic at these ages and games would be close. 6 to 2 isn't really a true reflection as two of Celtic's players from this age group are in the U19's squad, playing a year up.

 

The 17's squad is announced also and the stats are 7 to 3 the other way.

 

A proper picture is when you look at the latest squads selected from U16's through to U21's.

 

Rangers have had 13 selected, an average of 2.6 per squad. Celtic have had 28 an average of 5.6 per squad.

 

Another damning stat is that there have been 12 players selected who were previously at Rangers. So an average 2.4 either released or bought by another club. We got fees for Rhys McCabe, Dylan McGeough and Joe Thompson, the others were released.

 

A bit about each player, Fraser I'm sure you all know

 

Blair Currie - Pretty sure he is an 1994 so a year older, been at Rangers since a young age, Played a few 1st team games for Hamilton when on loan last season. Contact up at the end of the season, heard recently its not getting renewed.

 

Stuart Urquhart - Left sided footballing centre-back who came from Hamilton Accies, occasionally features in midfield. Was injured at the start of the season since coming back has got quite a few reserve games.

 

Andy Murdoch - Been at Rangers quite a few years and captained various age groups, anchorman in midfield and occasionaly played a right back.

 

Darren Ramsay - Another who has been at the club since a young age, played centre back at younger age groups. Now a fixture in midfield and an all round midfielder.

 

Charlie Telfer - Been at Rangers eight years since coming through the Rangers soccer schools, a skillful creative midfielder who can see a pass. Highly rated by Mark Wotte. I believe his contract is up at the end of the season.

 

now tell me celtc arent streets ahead.

See the reply given there. If you look at the status quo, it can make a dire reading. If you look at a five-year picture, things look different. Apart from that, who choses the players for the national sides? Why did we relese a dozen or so people last summer ... or these people chose to go?

so what we are saying is you've never watched the youths at rangers or celtc. but you know whos got the better system.

 

yet its impossible that i know a football player when i see one despite my entire life of watching and playing football since 5.

 

is that about right?

 

Are you taking the piss GS? Are you really suggesting liking football is the qualification you've got?

if you do anything for 10000 hours you are considered a boni fide expert. ive judges players for way more than that.

so why isnt the best player in training getting a game? i would like to blame charles but even i couldn't justify that one.

 

Haha.

 

Maybe because it isn't always just about ability. Maybe because he can't follow instruction. Maybe he loses his man, doesn't work back, refuses to close players down, doesn't link up, is a tosser in the dressing room. I don't know, I fancy you don't either.

There's a big difference between training and playing though.

Ah, the Elfideldo card, can't believe it's not been played before now. Look, tell me how many are in their first team, that's all that matters in the end. That's the yardstick here, getting players into the under 17 squad is nice but ultimately it's worthless.

we would have next to none if we were still in the spl, they have kids scoring winners against barcelona ffs!

Kuz, you really are a man less for their team, gie up. They signed him from Airdrie, he didn't come through their set-up, I thought a Celtic youth team aficionado like you would know that.

 

And if we'd stayed in the SPL we'd have kept Ness, McGregor, McCabe, Fleck, Little and so on. Honestly go and have a drink or a lie down, this obsession you've got for them is brutal to watch.

Watt? You're as bad as Kuznetsov McStay up thread. Aye, McGeoch's a guaranteed starter isn't he...
