...as Pedro Caixinha says Ibrox club can be breeding ground for top talent

 

Caixinha says Eder - who helped stun France in the Euro 2016 final - sent his son to train with Gers because it's a better standard than back in Portugal.

 

Pedro Caixinha reckons Rangers can be a breeding ground for top talent after the man who scored the winner at Euro 2016 sent his son to train with them.

 

The 12-year-old son of Eder – whose strike helped Portugal stun France in Paris – has been training with the Ibrox club.

 

And Caixinha said: “We know we are doing well because we have Eder’s 12-year-old son with us and he tells us the training is better than he received in Portugal. That is a good sign.”

 

Maltese kid Myles Beerman, 18, has just been thrown into the first-team fold alongside David Bates, 20.

 

And Caixinha insists he’s ready to promote two more rookies to first-team training this week so they can get a taste of life at the top.

 

The Rangers boss said: “Let me tell you, Jonny Hayes and Niall McGinn are not easy opponents to face – to try to spot them – but Myles did very well against Aberdeen last week.

 

“His positioning at set-pieces was good too and he had extra responsibility at corners.“But he likes to receive more, to learn more. He is committed and focused and I like that.“There are good young players at the club but we will always keep looking to find others. “We felt some age groups of players here have a lot of quality but we need players who are interesting at all levels. So we need a process to bring others over.

 

“After this weekend two youth players who are performing well will go with the first team for experience. “They will be having lunch, watching the meeting and seeing the work we do. It is part of the learning process.“But it also depends on the quality of the player.”
