How many points did we get the last time we were in the Champions League 😬😃

The point is you have to be at the top table I'm coming round to think that some of our fans have accepted our lower status at home and abroad this Thursday night rubbish is unacceptable in my book

In an ideal world, we'd all rather play in the CL but the footballing world is currently far from ideal.

Not an acceptance but the reality of where we are and where we are heading. 

 

The reality is wr probably made more money being annihilated in the CL Group stages than getting to the EL Final - I know what is the better achievement and more enjoyable.

On the topic of youngsters in Scotland ...

 

Rangers U17’s beat PSG and they need to be given a chance

16th November

Former Rangers youth coach Cameron Campbell has revealed his frustration at the lack of opportunity for youngsters in Scotland.

Now with RB Leipzig, Campbell moved to Germany at the turn of the year and has enjoyed his time with a club that puts developing talent to the very top of its priorities.

And while Lennon Miller at Motherwell and David Watson at Kilmarnock have been Scottish Premiership standouts this term, Campbell reckons there are others denied the chance to shine in his homeland.

He told the Daily Record: “It all comes down to needing two things. Talent and opportunity.

“What frustrates me is when everyone talks about the gap (between youth and first-team) like it’s unattainable. It’s the academy’s job to produce players who are good enough. But you then need a whole club to buy into creating opportunities. Those players need chances. When I was a youth coach at Rangers, I saw how much talent there is in Scotland.

“Lennon Miller and David Watson are doing really well at Motherwell and Kilmarnock right now. But I would argue there are one or two at the top seven or eight clubs who – if given the opportunity – could probably do similar things.

“It frustrated me. These kids need a chance. We’d go to international tournaments with Rangers U17’s and beat PSG. So talent wise, player for player, we have enough to compete with them. But when they get to that age, they need a chance to play first-team football.

“Whether that’s at their club or through the loan system, opportunities must open up for them. One of the studies I’ve done at Leipzig is to look at the top 100 players in the world right now.

“Ninety-seven per cent of them made their first team debut before the age of 20. When you look back at their journeys, most were involved in men’s football at some level from the age of 16. It’s no coincidence. It’s about creating opportunities.”

And while we are at it, the one and only Ryan Kent has been freed by Fenerbahce and the transfer window is but 6 weeks away. (Await @Rousseau's excited smiley)

I read this article over the weekend and found it interesting. It's not an issue that is unique to Rangers but not investing in youth when we were demoted was a terrible decision. 

 

As for promoting / developing them so they are ready for 1st team / squad is another discussion. I think we need to get the B-Team back into competitive leagues.

 

Hopefully it's something our new Chairman and new CEO put near the top of their "to-do lists".
