Youth Cup Game at Ibrox


Recommended Posts

Rangers play Dunfermline on Sunday.

 

CHARLIE TELFER wants Rangers’ kids to keep showing the improvement they demonstrated last week against Aberdeen when they travel to Motherwell tomorrow.

 

The Dons and Well are the only two teams which have beaten Gordon Durie’s Murray Park youths in 18 SPFL Under-20 League outings so far this season.

Those results came back to back in September and October as the Pittodrie side won 2-0 at Dumbarton then the Steelmen were 2-1 victors at Ibrox.

The Light Blues have responded superbly to those setbacks and have gone 14 games unbeaten in all competitions, winning each of their last nine.

The most recent one was arguably the most satisfying as it saw Gers beat the Granite City team 2-1 in Peterhead six days ago with a determined performance.

Telfer, 18, has been a key player in the change in fortunes and just as they were able to turn things around in the north last week, he hopes Rangers can do the same again at Fir Park.

Durie will take his team to Fir Park (kick-off at 6pm) without the injured Andy Murdoch and Kyle McAusland.

Jamie Burrows is also a doubt but Danny Stoney will return to the squad again after missing the last couple of matches.

Midfielder Telfer said: “The result at the beginning of the season against Motherwell was poor and we’re still hurting from that.

“We didn’t play well and it was a bad night for us so we’re definitely wanting a bit of revenge there.

“It was good to beat Aberdeen last week after losing to them earlier in the season too. We started poorly but then came back into the game.

“Half-time came at a bad time for us as we were doing well but then we went 1-0 up and at that point we felt we deserved the lead.

“We did well after that to get the win and now we’re looking to show the same sort of improvement at Fir Park.”

Telfer was speaking as he teamed up with Durie and his team-mates Luca Gasparotto and Calum Gallagher to promote Sunday’s SFA Youth Cup tie with Dunfermline.

Rangers will host the Pars at Ibrox with kick-off at 1pm and admission to the Enclosure in the Bill Struth Main Stand is £5 for adults and only £1 for kids.

Telfer is focused on the meeting with Well before then and he says Gers have set a standard for themselves recently which they have to live up to this week.

He added: “We’ve been putting in good performances and when we’ve not played as well we’ve still been able to grind out results.

“We’ve been working hard and there’s a good team bond at the moment which is a really good thing. It’s doing a lot for us.”
