First time I saw Leon King ... has he extended his stay with us?

No he hasn’t.  Turns 16 this month so will be in the process of deciding just now.  He trained with Kevin Thomson Academy last week along with my son.

 

He’s a fine young man, mature for his age and clearly a very good player too.
 

I wished him well whatever his decision though obviously want him to stay at Rangers. He was guarded about that and gave nothing away..

Just in case, we lost the game 3-0, but both the games against Rapid and Stuttgart were marred - IMHO - strange refreeing and unsporting behaviour by the opposition.

 

There is no doubt that given our performances on day 2 we deserved absolutely nothing, as we were second best against any of the teams, which was rather strange given yesterday`s standard. Of course, the German and Austrian sides play these indoor 5-asides far more often than we do and both Stuttgart and Rapid dominate their respective leagues, they said that e.g. finalists RB Leipzig played 40odd games in league and European business too. So honing our close-control-skills was good, you would hope that the aggressive behaviour and antics of some of the Rapid and Stuttgart guys is quickly forgotten. Sad too that the clock wasn`t stop when the ball was out of play or people being treated for injuries. Icing on the cake was one Stuttgart guy kicking the ball into the cabin entrance 10 seconds before the end ... so the game essentially stopped there and then. A shame, as both teams were sure the better sides and there was no need for somesuch. Refereeing left a bit top be desired too.

 

Final Standing

1 Rapid Vienna

2 RB Leipzig

3 VfB Stuttgart

4 Rangers

5 Borussia Mönchengladbach

6 Porto

7 Manchester United

8 Eintracht Frankfurt

 

NB: The German commentator couldn`t help himself remarking that the Old Firm is still ruling the league in Scotland and the religious split is still venomous as ever. Up to date they are ... at least with stereotypes, Well fed by BBC Scotland ...
