Davie P 4 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I saw on Twitter that Luca has been released (and some rumours about a number of u20 youngsters). Has there been any confirmation of the players going? With regards to the first team squad, I would imagine that all of the out of contract players will be released (Shiels, Law, Clark, Templeton if memory serves). Zelalem and King will probably return to Arsenal and Hearts respectively. If we do win the Scottish Cup and compete in Europe, we are going to need upwards of 10 additional players (replacing the outgoing 6, plus an additional 4 to meet the playing demands). Going to be a busy summer! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,185 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 No confirmation of who is being released yet other than Luca. Manager wants to keep the squad together until after the final so even Ball and King who cannot feature have been been retained for now. I think eight people will leave from the first team squad so that will certainly suggest we'll need around ten new players (including Windass and Crooks) depending on whether or not people like Hardie, Thompson and Walsh are more involved next season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One was committed and went on to reasonable success here and abroad. At 17/18 it was obvious the other two just didn't have what it took to act like athletes and ended up catching the Scottish disease before the inevitable spiral downwards career wise. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boabie 230 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 EIGHT Rangers Academy players will depart the club this summer to play their football elsewhere next season. Dylan Dykes, Luca Gasparotto, David Brownlie, Darren Ramsay, Mekhi McLeod, Jamie Brandon, Tom Lang and Jamie Mills who all played in the clubs development squad this year or on loan will now develop their footballing careers at another club. Head of Academy, Craig Mulholland commented: “It is always a difficult time of year when informing players that they will no longer be at the club. “Some of the lads such as Dylan, Darren and the two Jamie’s have been with the club from a very young age and it is an emotional time for the staff and the players. “We wish all the boys well in their future careers.” http://rangers.co.uk/news/academy-news/eight-academy-players-leave/? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
