Guys, first time poster but long time reader.
Posting out of frustration. We keep talking about not repeating previous mistakes with recruitment ie promote youth and stop signing third rate rejects from other leagues. Yet first chance we get or if Tav leaves, some on here want to sign Cyrus what's his name from HULL! Jeezus. How about giving Devine a go in his natural position, and a run in the team even if he makes a mistake. After a couple of games some on here say he's not good enough yet Diomande gets game after game to prove himself. Same goes for Fraser on other side. Give youth a chance, I guarantee none of them would be smiling after a defeat from the crab and his fellow sons of Timothy.

Bluetheroo. I think sfa missed a trick once again. when created 9 subs 2 of them should have come through academy process. devine could have played loads of games even coming on when games are won let's say. Serious question here, if your son at 16 had offers from rangers or let's say motherwell. For progression theirs 1 option it's motherwell. Just look at Bailey rice for instance. People may not like my opinion but how many genuine good youngsters came through gers since shagger, hutton and ferguson. don't say gilmour as he never made it to the first team proper.

Been saying it for years that Rangers must bring through the youth. Not saying to field a full 11 of youths but give a couple lads a proper chance. Not 10mins every couple of months etc.
Coming 2nd to that mob each year with our "strongest" 11 so why not try something fresh.
But i know it will not happen.

welcome Blue but I think BBs response is the reason we can't give youth that chance, see also comments on McCausland. I don't think Dio gets off lightly either TBH and he isn't old either. But agree totally on buying Cyrus rather than promoting from within.
Even if they were smiling though it doesn't mean they were happy to be beaten but agree with the sentiment.

Through Mckinnon and Stevens and Lovelace in the mix also.

playing the youth regularly won't even get us second place. man PC gets it hard enough playing the players he does, where would we be fielding a team with Devine, Fraser and Rice. i am all for bringing them on when points are safe but how often does that happen these days.

its unlikely we have any quality in the youth, the rest of the SPL pub league is the youth from Rangers and others from a few years ago, not ma y would make it back to Rangers afer being fully developed. The Scottish international team is poor also, we just don't have the infra structure in Sco to produce real talent. When was the last time Sco produced talent in the dificult front areas or creative areas that would sart in a top team, John Migin possibly, so that's 1 in 1000s of palyers chance.

Yip there you have it blue, we can't give youth a chance because boy blue thinks there not good enough on rangers banter ? fork would definitely give mckinnon, Stevens and especially lovlece game time mate.

not just you BB but lots of others as well voice that about our youth. if put in the team they need to be given a chance without fans getting on their back. Players who were at Rangers if given the chance might have thrived whereas they go to one of the lower teams and the chance isn't the same. there is more to making it than ability and the club play a huge part in that. the need to constantly try to be first stops youth from really getting a chance. we should have given that chance when we were in the 3rd.

We definitely need to promote from within I'd rather watch a young boy playing his heart out than some of the signings we've had recently.

Angus, I did say I was unsure on Devine. You obviously haven't followed my posts on here, always shouting for youth to get a chance. It's a fans forum for people to have opinions. I ain't going to not have an opinion on a player because they're young. On the other side of that, should we not say they're good either? Makes no sense. If a young player is good enough, he'll make it.

Aye BB4 they're as "ready" as they'll ever be. Problem is will they get the chance?

You can't criticise the club because click bait sites have linked us with Christie and to be fair, most on here have slated the idea, not backed it. To be fair to Clement, he does give youngsters a chance.
McCausland is now a first team player and McKinnon and Fraser are now in and around the squad too when they never were before. If they are good enough, the chance is there. The manager obviously does not rate Devine and Lowry's style obviously does not fit either.
Lovelace needs to get fit, and Rice seems to be getting closer. We can't play them all together and not smiling after a defeat doesn't make you a first team player.

We're just about to enter a period where we'll be playing three games per week, so some of the younger players will need to be used in rotation. On paper we don't have an experienced squad so maybe the younger players will get a chance to step up if they're up to the task.

I'm not Divine's biggest fan but the boy did well when called upon. Didn't put a foot wrong. A good back up on low wages.
I also thought King was better in Tavs position. Did well I thought.
As for grammar police. I hate youse. just saying ?.
