Nsiala's passing was insane. We have been fed a diet of big punts up the park that invariably went to the opposition for years now. Nsiala was threading passes along the deck ACCURATELY to team mates. Outstanding stuff!
I think it needs to said - maybe nsiala’s ease into the squad has been because of Propper next to him. It takes time for players to settle and adapt - we as fans write players off far too early (Tillman/Amad) We need to let Nsiala grow and not get on his back when he makes mistakes.
💯...The reality is costs need to be cut and like it or not this is the first step in what is essential in order to rebuild. PS showing he at least has the courage and the foresight to make the tough calls.
@grantmcroberts4089 Nisiala, Jefte, Igamane, Baron all dross? Away from is dreadful, I agree, but it is transitional season. It's naive to think we can completely overhaul the squad with so many young players and not have issues with consistency.
We need better first team starters and more of the best youth as substitutes so they are developed in the first team especially, when we go 3 - 0 up in matches at home.
There needs to be revolution in Scottish Football to allow our biggest clubs' Under 23 teams to compete in the 2nd highest league in the country. It's beneficial both to the clubs and the national team.
Good discussion today. Rangers need much more investment. Whoever is responsible for that at Board level needs to bring more money into the club. Young players with potential need to get a chance, otherwise why have a youth system if they’ll never make the first team. Making the first team is why they’re there.
Stevie just has toast???? I've never seen anyone have their last feed repeat on them, more than Stevie. LOL. IF you seriously just have toast - GO to the doc ASAP. No joke!
Correct choice imo. As soon as player's turn 16 they could be propelled into mens football as quickly as possible. Thats the best way for their development. Takes them out the comfort zone of the training ground and get to sample real football. Look at all the other decent young players at other clubs in scotland they all have 30,40,50 senior games under their belt. Our so called better ones like rice mckinnon lovelace fraser ect you could almost count on your one hand the amount of senior appearnaces they have. In their contracts, they should get the money so long as they hit targets. Dangle that carrot for them, thatll tell you about where their hunger and desire lies
Jonny on Igamane... spot on! I woukd only disagree about the value. I wouldn't sell for under £20m as things stands. His value, for me, will grow exponentially over the next 2 to 3 years. This lad could beat the Scottish transfer record.
We've tried the B team league, standard not good enough to bring players into the 1st team, friendlies against others also didn't work, this is clearly the only option left.
Scrap the b team and the women's team to, put the savings from that towards new furniture for new edminston house, to attract more visitors and make more money, we are the people
I find the whinging over EPL teams taking our players to be genuinely pathetic. We do this to other Scottish teams, it's the football ecosystem, aye its rotten but it twas ever thus. The suggestion we should just not invest as much etc is nothing more than a tantrum, if we make our club an attractive place for boys and show them there is a pathway then we can keep as many as we lose to the EPL.
I think johnny has a point the best prosoects get poached and the next tesr down are in no mans in so far as the opportunities to bridge the gap, loans to clubs who may not be as committed to the development of players whom are loaned to them are less than ideal, the answer might be a multi club system you could probably purchase a third tier financially destressed club like fc sochaux with a history of fantastic you development, for a year or two's worth of money to sustain academy funding and maybe a third club at the level of a lefering, which in Scotland would maybe be a kelty hearts assuming that's allowed would be cost effective and wouldn't get blocked by the footballing authorities up hear.
If the cost of B team football is £4m+ a year, when you look at the players that've come through it's running at a huge loss. Would we not be better off shelving it and using the money each year to buy a Lyall Cameron and/or Lennon Miller. Buy in the talent rather than trying to develop it. Calvin Bassey being a great example.
It is smarter to get the young guys actual experience if they aren't going to feature. Hopefully, we see more coming into the first team and getting real chances. As in terms of hunger. I think we often overcomplicate it. Just play them and give them their chances here. Find out if they sink or swim. It saves us transfer fees and its not like we are in our hey day of big signings. Many of these youths are just as good if not better than soke we have brought in. Even if they are just for rotation. We need to become the best at bringing youths on. If we do it and not just talk about it, we may actually make some money and improve with hungrier players. I don't know what Johnny was on about in terms of Gen X and Millenials? I really couldn't understand what that had to do with current youth players?
Don't complain if bigger clubs take your players as you have been doing that to Scottish teams for a few years now both old defunct rangers and new Rangers.
the Dinosaurs in the SFA/SPFL need to remove their heads from the Sand and have proper development programs that will enhance the game throughout the country. That way all youth players, teams and we the fans will benefit from the talent we most definitely are developing.
allblugers Agree Blair Mayne. We should have todl Dowell & Matondo and a few others in mid-November to find a new club in the January window not on 17 Jan as we also should have done with Morelos and Kent. No surprise if Matondo and Cowell sit on their big contracts until at least June,Total incompetency.
Rangers do not and HAVE NEVER had a strategic view of progressing boys from youth to 1st team. When we need new players, the FIRST place we should be looking is INSIDE the club! If you never look to promote from within, then why are you are you pretending to do it? How many bang average players have we signed when a young player could have done just as well for far less money?
I have wondered whether the refusal to adopt the B team model of playing in the lower leagues is too largely influenced by the police and government? The police may not like the idea of another away match each weekend that has travelling Gers or yahoos fans. IMO the authorities have too much influence over our football as it is e.g. very rare that we get midweek evening lick off times for OF matches.
If igamane wants to take the ball off a defender he will dessers isn't that great at it he more of a lazy striker than the fire in the belly Hamza has each time he plays.
Connor Barron was better than McKinnon, and pretty much anyone else in our youth, at 16, 17,18 etc so I don't think I agree with Stevie there. Sorry also don't agree with lower league view, So many lower league fans are against our b team because they think four or five teams to replace teams that would have otherwise made it there on merit. Find that easy to understand, our leagues are 50 years older than Holland, Belgium etc. Scottish fans could really do with talking to each other 😂
Nsiala's passing was insane. We have been fed a diet of big punts up the park that invariably went to the opposition for years now. Nsiala was threading passes along the deck ACCURATELY to team mates. Outstanding stuff!
Nsiala looks amazing
His passing is one of the best for me guys
I think it needs to said - maybe nsiala’s ease into the squad has been because of Propper next to him. It takes time for players to settle and adapt - we as fans write players off far too early (Tillman/Amad)

He looked far better than Propper.
💯...The reality is costs need to be cut and like it or not this is the first step in what is essential in order to rebuild. PS showing he at least has the courage and the foresight to make the tough calls.
Koppen is doing a great job. Marked improvement in our recent signings.
No he hasn't his signings is dross which is why we are 15 behind a pish celtic team and dropping points on the road

The SFA are not trying to improve the game.
Surely Airdrie should be crying out for some of our B team players ?

Stevies right, I got one off those remingtons at Christmas and it's surprisingly good
Morning everyone hope you have a great day today
We need to be looking at 2 replacements for when Igamane is sold we should be on the case now!
Stevie just has toast???? I've never seen anyone have their last feed repeat on them, more than Stevie. LOL. IF you seriously just have toast - GO to the doc ASAP. No joke!

We actually need a manager who has the balls to put these youngsters onto the field rather than putting other players in those spots out of position.
We've tried the B team league, standard not good enough to bring players into the 1st team, friendlies against others also didn't work, this is clearly the only option left.
Scrap the b team and the women's team to, put the savings from that towards new furniture for new edminston house, to attract more visitors and make more money, we are the people
Bring back the reserve league end of
Some keek talked here no doubt😅
Billy and rory would still be in the b team if we still had them lets be reall we dont give our youth a chance
Well said we’d have ruined them
B team decision by Beale was disastrous. History will not be kind to him and Bennett for their spells as manager and Chairman of the club.

Cutbacks is the real truth can’t cover costs of running it😂

Saving alot of money by scrapping the b team but now the club need to find a new club for each player that doesn't get any chance at all.
This is gross mismanagement, the money wasted is horrific.
Don't complain if bigger clubs take your players as you have been doing that to Scottish teams for a few years now both old defunct rangers and new Rangers.
We urny skint we is da biggest club in da world
Da most bestest
the Dinosaurs in the SFA/SPFL need to remove their heads from the Sand and have proper development programs that will enhance the game throughout the country. That way all youth players, teams and we the fans will benefit from the talent we most definitely are developing.
No forward thinking will ever be allowed as long as the hacks at the top of Scottish football are there.
Amount of money wasted on wages etc is incompetence club is leaking millions😮
allblugers Agree Blair Mayne. We should have todl Dowell & Matondo and a few others in mid-November to find a new club in the January window not on 17 Jan as we also should have done with Morelos and Kent. No surprise if Matondo and Cowell sit on their big contracts until at least June,Total incompetency.
If you were a young guy getting paid 10k a week doing what you love would you move
Bosman was the worst thing that ever happened to football and furthermore football agents do not help either
Rangers do not and HAVE NEVER had a strategic view of progressing boys from youth to 1st team. When we need new players, the FIRST place we should be looking is INSIDE the club!

And 4 million wasted on Cortes
Absolutely horrendous but if business no more Columbians please
If igamane wants to take the ball off a defender he will dessers isn't that great at it he more of a lazy striker than the fire in the belly Hamza has each time he plays.
