rbr 1,270 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Reports about him going in loan to ICT for 6 months , now given he was reported to be refusing a new contract , could this be a thawing in relations and a possible reconciliation on the cards , don’t see what advantage sending him out on loan does if he’s going at the end of the season , thoughts . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,429 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Could be just to get rid of a bad apple away from the rest of the squad. I have no insight or know anything about his attitude, just an alternative possibility to the very valid point you make above. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gisabeer 409 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Not as if we have a good track record giving youth a chance which is surprising given how well the youth teams have been doing over the last couple of years. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weebluedevil 1,259 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) Too big a gap between the youth team and the main squad. Even giving them some minutes, means taking that opportunity away from senior squad members. If they're good enough (think of a young Ally) they will be given the chance, but they're not THAT good. When they are, they're lured away before they can be given a chance (Gilmour). Edited October 4, 2020 by weebluedevil 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 7,231 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I dont see the point in having a youth team at Rangers 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbr 1,270 Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 This subject on giving youths a chance , we are in the midst of possibly the most important season of our lives/history , yet some of our own support want to give untried youths game time . Can you imagine the hell that would befall the management team if he had played youths today and we dropped points , some of our own fans need to get a grip of reality . If you look at what septic were able to do when we weren’t in the league , guys like Macgregor and Christie were sent out on loan for a couple of years to get game time ,plus they had a the luxury of playing these guys in European games they knew they were not going to win and when they had already banked the champions league cash , it’s totally different and now we are back , you hardly see a youth getting bloodied across the city . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this exact discussion with Kevin Thomson. He said they had done far better than us at bringing youths through but I pointed out that the likes of Forrest, McGregor, Tierney etc were all coming through when Celtic knew they would win the league by 30 points as they had no competition. Their golden boy, Karamoko Dembele (who by all accounts IS a very good player) can barely make the bench. Their “youth policy” since we have come back up and have started challenging again has been virtually non-existent. We do have some very decent youths like Dapo Mebude, Ciaran Dickson, Kai Kennedy, Leon King etc.... but they need to be patient and they need to develop. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
