Bearman 9 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 http://therangersreport.com/2015/01/05/rangers-declines-to-release-fraser-aird-for-u20-tournament/? Daniel Squizzato reported that Canada’s request to add Fraser Aird to their U20 team was declined by Rangers management. The team begins the 2015 CONCACAF U20s Championship this week. It is a three-week tournament that includes twelve nations. The top four qualify for the 2015 U20 World Cup in New Zealand. Squizzato states that “Canada did attempt to add Aird to their tournament roster but Rangers declined the request.” Dundee’s Dylan Carreiro met a similar fate. David Rowaan, of Walking the Red, confirmed that Aird had been invited to the camp leading up to the tournament but he was also not released for that. Rowaan believes that Aird would still be on the radar for the Canadian national team as they prepare for qualifications for the 2018 World Cup. Rangers on-loan center back Luca Gasparotto is expected to play a critical role to Canada’s success as he will be called upon to anchor the Canadian defence. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wasp 0 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Another weird decision,why the feck wouldn't they allow the kid to go and play for his country?

I wonder how the boy feels now. I'd imagine he'll be sick to death. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Should let him go, might come back vaguely resembling a footballer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca72 440 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 This is a poor decision. We have Gallagher coming back from being on loan. This trip would allow the lad a change of pace and allow him to play for his country. What is more important at that age? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 If I'm not mistaken, the lad is still eligible to play for Scotland, so the decision might not have been one made just by Rangers, but one made by Rangers on behalf of Aird himself. He might have his eyes set on the senior Canadian national team or Scotland call-up, although I think looking for a Scotland call-up would be very misguided. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
