ian1964 10,411 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 DAVID TEMPLETON and Dean Shiels will be among those featuring for the under-20 team tomorrow in their latest SPFL fixture against Motherwell at Ibrox. Both players have been left frustrated by a lack of game time lately, a result of their limited involvement in the pre-season programme due to injuries. They have each scored in substitute appearances – Templeton most recently at the weekend against Stenhousemuir – but boast just six starts between them in 11 games so far. They’ll each be in the first XI for tomorrow evening’s meeting with the Steelmen, which kicks off at 7pm. Entry is free. It’s a match in which coach Gordon Durie is looking for a positive reaction from his side after its 2-1 defeat to Aberdeen in its most recent outing almost a fortnight ago. Even before that, in a 2-1 win over St Mirren in Paisley, the Light Blues weren’t always at their best. Durie wants a better performance as Gers look to build on other victories against Dunfermline and Ross County, as well as an opening-day point against Hamilton. They currently sit fifth in the table, three points off the summit with a game in hand, ahead of a full card of fixtures this midweek. Durie said: “We’re looking forward to the game after the result a couple of weeks ago against Aberdeen and we want a good reaction from the team. “We’ve played five games so far and we feel there’s a lot more to come from the side so hopefully that’ll come tomorrow. “We’re happy with our points return but we’re looking to win every game we play in and in that respect we’ve not got what we’re looking for up to now. “I’m sure in the coming weeks we’ll get that from the boys and it can be quite hard for them because we’ve got to chop and change the team quite a lot with first-teamers coming in. “That’ll happen again this week and we’ve got Temps and Dean coming in, along with Kyle and Steve. “David and Dean need match time. You can train all you want but you need minutes under your belt in games. Hopefully the two of them will benefit from getting 90 minutes.” http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/academy-news/item/5193-duo-set-for-20s-test 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilledbear 16 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 elf How often do players like Telfer, Murdoch and Stoney actually play? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfideldo 406 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 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. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
