Billy Gilour mom v Liverpool, what did we lose there?
03 Mar 2020 22:06:12
Chelsea offered 2k a week wages I read. We couldn't or wouldn't match it at the time.
04 Mar 2020 02:42:32
Was more like £20k a week.

Far as I know he and his family were made a good offer, they chose to take the money and head to London, great tonight, let’s see where he is in 3 years, he walked away from the biggest club he will ever play for, so did Charlie whatsisname and the Barry superstar guy, were are they now?
04 Mar 2020 05:00:47
To be honest Tommybloo12,billy gilmour is way ahead of the aforementioned by yourself. He'll make it bigtime pal, i don't think there's any doubt about that. The 2 you mention above wouldn't get anywhere near the chelsea first team never mind looking superb in that sort of company! Gilmour is pure quality!
04 Mar 2020 07:24:45
My point through the week as I asked when was the last academy player given a chance in the first team squad. Lewis McLeod someone said. there's another big problem at our club.
04 Mar 2020 08:00:21
Problem is, when are any of our promising youngsters going to be given a chance in the first team? As long as a Rangers manager is under pressure to win silverware, and the pressure now is greater than ever, he is unlikely to take risks with untried young players. Ally McCoist had the chance to bring some youngsters through when we were dumped down into division 3 but didn't so I can't see Gerrard doing so now.
04 Mar 2020 08:25:12
I agree Doiger but if we are going to keep SG I wouldn't give him more money. His signings have been poor and we can't afford to fritter anymore money away.
04 Mar 2020 08:36:27
On this thread we’ve moved from talking about the sublime talent of young Gilmour to snide remarks of ex players and the chances SG gives them, you must all remember when a Green and his cohorts came in they asset stripped everything we had from Arsenal shares to any young talent they could sell they shut down the scouting system cut right back on youth coaches, so when SG came in he had to build from scratch and as mentioned above we have got some young talent back in but you can’t just throw them in against physical teams like we have in Scotland in that game last night he was allowed to play as he was on the park with others who could play, can you imagine up here he’d be taken out early to stop him and same with any other young talent so they need to have more body strength to hold off that type of player I’m sure the young players we have if good enough will get their chance remember our young players are now playing in European youth leagues against older players so they will reap the benefit and let’s just see how far they can go.
04 Mar 2020 09:10:06
So what about some of the kids in the youth team now twacoos? Can't they be given a chance? What happened to Josh McPake for instance?
04 Mar 2020 10:08:26
Agreed Doiger. You can't tell me their isint talent there.
04 Mar 2020 10:09:06
have to remember our league is full of hammer throwers and the refs are happy to watch them bully and kick young skilled players about. Hagi is a prime example.
younger players in England need skill but are afforded protection especially in the top league.
our league is a disgrace, and its another reason why we do better in europe.
04 Mar 2020 13:34:19
Keep SG but give him no money 😱😱 seriously AS1974 you moan he’s not won anything but that’s your plan to turn that around how the F! k does that work?
04 Mar 2020 13:44:19
DOIGER : yes we have some decent young players my point was we can’t rush them you can coach skills but you can’t coach maturity young players take time to develop especially up here where players of less ability get bullied last night allowed gilmour to play up here he’d be taken out first chance as he isn’t as strong as older journeymen so patients is needed and blood them when we are winning.
04 Mar 2020 15:31:42
Whether its Ally in the bottom league or SG now, there is always the pressure of winning every game at Rangers. There are some decent kids with us just now, and I would like to see some of them given a chance if and when its mathematically impossible to win the league this season, and then get more of them training with the first team squad in the summer.
04 Mar 2020 16:24:09
Guys u ask why mcpake, barjonnas etc etc are not playing for us, they can’t get games at Dundee, raith Morton Rotherham Plymouth Dumbarton and the likes.
Be honest how many of you go and watch our reserves or academy players.
04 Mar 2020 17:44:49
McPake went to Dundee first half of the season and was too lightweight, got bullied by grown men. Needs to develop his physique a bit.
