It was a great goal, but a very poor performance with the exception of the last 10 minutes. I have been to half the U20's games of of the five I could only honestly say we deserved to win the first one against Dunfermline, even then we lost four goals. Very fortunate to beat St.Mirren and draw with ICT and St.Johnstone, well beaten by Motherwell. Rangers 5 Dunfermline 4 Durie "I thought they showed great character to come back and win." Ross County 2 Rangers 3 Durie "They showed great character to get the third from Charlie and we were really comfortable after that." Dundee United 2 Rangers 2 Durie "“We showed a wee bit of character after losing the second goal so late on" Rangers 2 Inverness CT 2 Durie "“I was really happy with the fighting qualities we showed and I thought a draw was the very least we deserved" Rangers 2 St.Johnstone 2 "GORDON DURIE was pleased with the fighting spirit " So we have established the teams has character/fighting spirit. When can we see us outplaying and out passing teams ? Maybe a lineup with a bit of balance would help, do we have any naturally left footed players ? Playing players in their strongest position may also help. Top prospects Ryan Sinnamon constantly played at Left-back rather than his natural right-back. Tom Walsh shunted out left instead of his attacking central role that saw him break into the first team squad.

Report on today's youth games http://rfcyouths.wordpress.com/2013/11/17/accies-double-header/ Interesting to note that Celtic were taking a big interest in these games. Head of Youth Chris McCart, Head of Head of Academy Scouting David Moss and at least one scout, John Morgan all in attendance. Planning to try and poach Rangers or Accies players ?

Why ? He will be guaranteed a pay off what ever happens

More likely to have been called off for similar reasons to McCoist cancelling the Forfar game. Really ? He is right that they have been scoring goals, 20 in 9 games, but have also lost 15. They have won 4 of those games, the wins coming against four of the bottom five in the league. I haven't been to all the games, but the games I have been to they have been disappointing. In their defence they are a young team, mostly Under 19's and too many of them are asked to play in what is not their strongest position

He has been at Rangers since 2002, so pre-dates Sinky by some years, he was previously at Motherwell. Sinky appointed him Head of the Junior Academy, he seems to be doing a decent job at that level as the younger teams have a lot of talented players. Its difficult to judge at 7-a-side as its a totally different game when compared to 11-a-side, difficult to play a long ball game at 7's. He is a PE instructor in the prison service.

Jim McNee heads up the Junior academy (u12 and below), Sinky has little involvement with the junior academy, not sure who the other coach was last night.

Not the best age group at Rangers, a couple of the first years who will feature in this years Victory Shield years would be my pick, Ross Lyon and Josh Jeffries. Ryan Hardie is the best of the 2nd years and has a chance if he keeps scoring when he steps up the levels. They are a few years away from being considered for 1st team football.

Scotland under-15 squad: Goalkeepers Luke Williams (Heart of Midlothian) Aidan McAdams (Celtic) Defenders Grant Thorburn (Celtic) Daniel Baur (Heart of Midlothian) Shaun Bowers (Celtic) Dylan McKendry (Celtic) Jamie Boyd (Hamilton) Reis Peggie (Celtic) Jack Sherrie (St Mirren) Jason Krones (Rangers) Aidan Wilson (Rangers) Midfielders Ross McLaughlin (Celtic) Michael Johnston (Celtic) Lewis Doherty (Celtic) Jack Breen (Hibernian) Liam Burt (Rangers) John-James Henderson (Dunfermline) Lewis Turnbull (Stenhousemuir) Kieran Balfour (Ayr United) Forwards Broque Watson (Celtic) Scott Sutherland (Dunfermline) Samuel Jamieson (Rangers) Conor Scullion (Hamilton) Callum Morrison (Heart of Midlothian) Jack Vickers Morgan (Heart of Midlothian) We have five included for this get together, Kieran Balfour is at Rangers unless he has gone back to Ayr and I haven't heard, Celtic have 9. Jack Sherrie and Jack Morgan were released by Sinclair, Reis Peggie who was at Falkirk and Scott Sutherland knocked us back in the summer. Peggie joined Celtic and Sutherland chose to remain at Dunfernline. Following Gordon Young's departure from Motherwell as head of youth to join Sheffield United, Darren Young is to leave Hearts and join Coventry City. His teams are set out to play in the correct manner, on the deck, which is prevalent throughout the academy at Hearts. Maybe someday down south will come in for ours, we can only hope.

Up till now Telfer and Murdoch were playing regularly and Stoney was generally on the bench. With the transfer window now closed and all new signings in the 1st team some players will miss out as fringe players will drop down.

I have to say the last three "youth" games I haved attended is as poor a sequence I can remember. Beaten and outplayed by Kilmarnock, Aberdeen and Motherwell at three of the older ages groups. Two things from last nights game sum up the shambles we have become. Kyle McAusland became the 5th right footed left back we have used at under 20 this season. Three left backs were released last season. Late in the game we were awarded a free kick just outside the right side of the penalty area, an ideal opportunity for a left footed player to have a strike on goal. We didn't have a naturally left footed player on the pitch. In my opinion things won't get better until there is a change.

A couple injured or unavailable, Robbie McCrorie was away with Scotland, Adam Wilson, Ryan Hardie and Josh Jeffries injured or Ill, and Jordan Hammill also missing (assume injured). It beggars belief that a club like Rangers cannot field an U17 goalkeeper and with Ryan Hardie unavailable we do not have another centre forward/striker. Fair play to the lad that played as the striker but its not a position he has played too often. If long balls to nobody is our head of youths vision for the future then god help us.

Probably the biggest factor was lack of competitive game time, there was a youth league, just that we weren't in it. A fair number of our younger players only had bounce games arranged at short notice to keep them playing. When the contract was on the table there was no clear picture with regards to us playing in the league this year ( we are in it), so a repeat of last season and little competitive football was a possibility. A decent footballing left-sided centre-back, personally I felt Gasparotto was ahead of him, but I think he has a decent chance of progressing. I believe if Rangers play hardball the compensation would be fairly significant, with Hamilton Accies possibly due part of it. I think its more likely they would come to an agreement with Coventry, possibly related to any progress he makes. He has to go down as a relative Sinclair success, he is one of the few he has "bought" that went on to gain a pro youth contract.
