started to fill a gap in the clubs youth coverage and I try to provide updates and reports on any youth games I attend. This can be any 11-a-side age group from Under 13’s to Reserve/Under 20’s. What it isn’t is an opinion on the merits of players at the various age groups. My opinion on players is irrelevant and I think I am quite successful in keeping my reports opinion free. I would always encourage anyone to come along and form their own views on the youth teams and players.
Once again a campaign to include “Colt” teams within the league structure proved unsuccessful and with Rangers withdrawing from the Reserve League an alternative fixture package has to be put in place for Reserves/Under 20’s. Competition will come in the form of the Challenge Cup and the Glasgow Cup. This will be supplemented with high profile challenge matches and games against Manchester United, Chelsea and Ajax have been scheduled for the early months.
