Along with Tom Lang, this little fella was put through his paces at Auchenhowie today. Chance of a game on Sunday?

The young central defender Tom Lang is an interesting prospect. He came through the Birmingham City academy and he's well capped for Scotland at youth level in teams which have successfully reached the European finals.

 

Interesting to note that his agent is none other than Simply Sport Management, which is our ex-CEO Craig Mather's company! :)

Snatched from Ibrox Noise ...

 

Birmingham City defender Tom Lang on trial at Ibrox

 

17 year old Birmingham City youth defender Tom Lang is undergoing a trial at Murray Park.

 

The trial actually began late last month, but Lang has done enough so far to remain at Murray Park to this day on merit while manager Stuart McCall runs the rule over him.

 

Central defence is certainly a position Rangers lack depth in, with only four recognised CB’s (McCulloch, McGregor, Mohsni & Zaliukas) in the squad at present and a lack of consistent quality among them.

 

Lang has been at City his whole career, from the age of 12 onwards, and while he has not yet broken through at the senior level of his parent club, he has represented Scotland at both U16s and U17s level and was also called up in 2014 for the U18 squad.

 

It remains to be seen in due course if Lang will be joining Rangers’ youth ranks on a permanent basis.

 

If he is talented enough, why not? We sure need to revamp the defensive department and give them some back up. Interestingly enough, that is also true for the developement sides, should Gasparotto and/or Halkett get a call to the first team. Obviously, it is for others to decide how good the youth work at Birmingham in general and this chap in particluar is.

 

BTW, he's a Scot and has played 10 games (1 goal) for the Scottish u17s.
