craig 5,199 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I like these loans. The youngsters get the opportunity for competitive game time against better opposition than if they were playing in the U20's. And they still get coached by the Rangers coaches at Auchenhowie during the week. Win-win for me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,680 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) It allows the Rangers management see how good these youngsters really are.The only way to do that is playing see how they perform out of their age group. The reality is though the vast majority of them will not be good enough Edited February 26, 2016 by RANGERRAB 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is though the vast majority of them will not be good enough Of course but that's the same with any club. A couple of the current bunch look like they might have it thiiugh. At least these loans feel like part of a structured development plan rather than just parking them somewhere ahead of releasing them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gisabeer 409 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 i like warburtons line of thinking here and i certainly hope to see the majority of these players playing for us in the future. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Copied this from an Ayr Utd Forum Very good debut from McCrorie looked like he had played with the team for ages, will only get better and I hope we can keep him more than a month. He will definitely pressure the other midfielders for a starting place which will be good for the club. The boy is excellent in the air ideal for central mid I would play him along with Wardrop, Forrest,Docherty, Gilmour. McCalls judgement totally justified. The other Rangers boy playing with Airdrie also played well but if I had choice I would take the boy McCrorie all day long think this boy could go far in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boabie 230 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 MW has got it all wrong according to Ill Phil. The tarred one reads it all as Warburton not being interested in youth development and trying to get the kids off the wage bill. We're still skint. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
