Rangers are no different. I dont know why we bother to have a youth at up. Mcrorie is the last player I can remember to come through the ranks and we punted him out on loan. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what are the costs having youth teams and all the various coaches when virtually none of the players become first team regulars? Could that money be better spent elsewhere? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would even question the benefit of throwing Defoe on for 10 minutes in certain games when in certain games a youth player could get some valuable minutes - especially at Ibrox. They are 'preventing' the youth players from getting game time because they're better players. It's 100% down to the youth players to show that they're better. If they are, they'll get game time. In my opinion I don't think any of the current players are good enough to break into the first team. Kelly has an opportunity to prove me wrong this season on his loan, and I hope he does. The rest are good players, but do we really think that Kennedy can be anywhere near as effective as Hagi or Kent? Do we think Patterson can do the job of Tav? I don't. It's an inconvenient truth but the only one who did look like a first team player was Gilmour and we've lost him to Chelsea. If these others were really that promising they'd be attracted elsewhere too. I'm sure they'll have careers but not at Rangers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Paterson needs to go out on loan first & get experience before he can be considered for the first team squad 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 15,294 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Kennedy hasn't looked outstanding whenever I've seen him. Daft haircut too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
