Apart from McLeod, little and maybe McKay. the simple fact is all other Murray park graduates are just not good enough. perry, hearty, Mitchell, Hutton, Crawford, Naismith, aird will all belaying 1st division football. some even part time football they are soo poor. I know they're young and need time but I don't think they will ever cut it. I badly want Murray park to do well but gone are the dys of mcgregor, Hutton, Adam, Burke, mccormack some of which had to leave to prove they were good enough. (addy ninnies aswell) We have the facilities but I jut don't think the right scouts and coaches. I hate to say it but celtics U19's run away with the league every year. And do did the U21's before it was scrapped. Just we've started from the bottom again and I believe we should look at our youth team and re shuffle /replace some of the scouts/coaches if need be. What's everyone else's thoughts. Mark

Couldn't agree more the crop of youngsters coming through with the exception of McLeod & McKay are average to say the least and it doesn't bode we'll for the future. The fact that the manager has already signed 6 players with possibly more to follow shows that these young payers aren't rated

McKay? What has he done to suggest he will ever be even remotely good? He can't cross the ball, can't dribble, can't go past a man and he's scared. He has pace and people go off their heads, same thing happened with Gregg Wylde, and look how that turned out. Just add McKay to the list of duds. He'll never make it here when we're at a half decent level. Be realistic.

MacLeod looks a good player. Always demands the ball and isn't afraid to get stuck in. Distribution is very good for a young man too. But no doubt he will stall this year as Peralta, Law and Black will need to be played to justify their wages. We have a habit of wasting young players, particularly intelligent midfielders. Charlie Adam first and then John Fleck. What a footballer that lad is but he wasn't given the chances and he will fulfill his potential elsewhere. And don't give me the lame excuses about his attitude etc. Such a shame.

Mitchell should get more time I think

Mark Guasparatto and Mitchell looked fantastic when given a chance towards the end of the season Mitchell in particular. Considering he isn't a right back I felt he did well getting forward and also put in a few decent deliveries. These lads do need time like you say but it can't be easy playing infront of 40,000+ fans who are jumping straight on your back like I saw for the likes of Hutton and Naismith. I think Hutton could make it tbh he's a big lad and he can keep hold of possession. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying he's xavi or anything but he's no worse than some of the players we've got and more experience and game time will only make him better

scrsc Barry McKay has a brilliant first touch and correct me if I'm wrong but think he had 12 assists last season so don't think he's as bad as you're making out. He has shown some nice pieces of skill to get past players and I remember a game at ibrox where he hit a shot from well outside the area and it came back off the bar but the technique he used to hit it was top notch.

How you can sit there and slate young boys who have been asked to do a mans job! Should you not be asking questions of black, shiels and alexander? Not one of them can be proud of themselves last season. The so called hard man black done nothing but whine about tackles, not fit to wear the jersey!

MaKay was lacking confidence towards the end of the season - that can only come from the manager encourging the young players. I think McKay could go on to be a decent player within the SPL, probably not somebody you want to build a team around but he will offer something.

@5 lol do a man's job? Feck me they are getting paid for it so don't talk keek! I spent my first 2 years in the RN earning pittance and I was a young guy in a mans job! But her they go out and kick a football while guys like myself went to war! Yeah some fecking comparison mate!
Yours was An absolute rediculous post!

What shocking posts. You cry out for the youth then slate them cause they didn't play well enough for you. Take a look at the so called experienced players in the team who can't cross, can't dribble and can't go past players.

5 - Agreed. This thread is everything that's wrong with rangers. Unfortunately a fraction of our support are not willing to give time to any youth player coming through. I thought that after starting again in 3 rd div that this attitude would change. Basically, as a youth player at ibrox, if you don't hit the ground running in 4/5 games then you're a dud. Some fans do not have the patience to watch you develop. It's a disgrace. Players need time and 6 months to a year to get fully settled into the team. It would be better for them to go out on loan as fans at other clubs are more than likely to be patient and realise that at 17-21 you are not the finished article. Give them a break lads ffs.

To slag Mckay you clearly don't watch many of the games. In previous seasons, these young boys would have been given the last 5-10mins at the end of a game we were 3-0 up. Now they are being asked to go out and win these matches. It's people like you who won't give the youth a chance and just want to see the finished artcle without the graft. Alexander last season didn't do much wrong either, it was the Defence in front of him who could not communicate to protect their line of defence. This season will be different. They all have a year under their belts and new players in who will help raise competition and it will (hopefully) be better to watch. This is 5the season Ally will quite rightly be assessed as this is HIS team. It's stage 2 and not fighting for the SPFL so give the young boys a chance and get behind the team

@scrsc wot other midfield talent have we wasted Adam has done ok for himself fleck is a snake at their best they're above average midfielders Adam doesn't get a game at stoke and a don't even no what field the snakes in but can't be doing that good and going by reading your previous comments you no nothing about football never mind who is a good player {Ed001's Note - Adam was a regular at Stoke before falling out with Pulis, to be fair.}

If they can't stand out in the 3rd division against part-time opposition they will never be good enough. FACT. Get a grip and open your eyes. Bunch of brainless wonders haven't got a scooby about fitba.
