ian1964 10,596 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 HEAD Development Squad Coach Graeme Murty believes a Rangers colt team plying its trade in a professional league is necessary to provide the club’s Academy players with an appropriate challenge. http://rangers.co.uk/news/academy-news/murty-hopes-gers-colt-team/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger_syntax 3,951 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I don't like this idea. It gives even more of an advantage to big clubs. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I don't like this idea. It gives even more of an advantage to big clubs. They have been doing it in Holland for a few years now and the colts do well. I am not sure that there has been a surge of new talent but I would say it is the level that they should be playing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,471 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 ... same goes for Germany. Most of the u20s to u23s play in those games. The only thing there is that AFAIK the 2nd team will not pay in the same league as the 1st, and the 2nd team can never get promotion to the top tier either, even if the 1st team ain't there. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,691 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Can only be a good thing if our academy players are competing at as high a level as possible. Both they and the club will much more quickly get a better idea of their potential and natural level. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 297 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Would it not be better playing against the cream of your age group instead of scrapping away against the likes of Annan, Forfar etc? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think there is more cream in the prof leagues and you have more physical games. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
