I didn’t see the game but there’s a real buzz about this player. He has something. There’s a batch of very talented young Rangers players coming through just now who Gerrard won’t pay attention to in favour of English players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality, things went even better than expected. We thought he would get some minutes, but certainly didn’t expect him to play 90 over 2 games. That gave him plenty of time on the pitch for Frank Lampard, and he used it well. He was calm, composed and creative, keeping the ball better than some of his senior teammates, and using it well in a slightly ragged second half. It was also notable to see him bellowing orders at Tiemoue Bakayoko, a man with pretty decent Champions League experience, as well as about 6 inches extra height on young Billy. That shows what the tough little Scot is all about, and if he keeps it up it’s hard to see Frank Lampard being able to ignore him much longer. In fact, the 18 year old may have just booked himself a spot on the flight to Japan on Monday. If he wasn’t already, Frank Lampard must be giving serious thought to the prospect of taking the former Rangers prodigy with him to the Far East. There are other concerns of course, and maybe the squad prefer to have him back with the youth teams at Cobham preparing for the new season. But whether or not he ends up on the plane with the first team, he’s made huge progress towards that goal in the last week alone. Well done Billy, and keep it up."

SkyBlueScot Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 There's plenty of examples of young players who don't achieve after promising so much but it is fantastic to see the numbers of these exciting players coming through.

In another 2 years I think we’ll be in a very good place, there are just so many with very high levels of ability about to emerge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Dark_Knight Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Talking of youngsters, this is Andy Gray on Steven Gerrard: "“He also said there are a couple of really young kids he’s going to blood over the next few weeks. He says he likes them a lot and wants them involved with the first team which is great news." I get the impression that one of the kids is Josh McPake.

Maybe. We have Forrest, Sinclair, Shved, Arzani, Johnston, Morgan and Hayes that can play in the 2 wide positions. IMO, Morgan comes towards the bottom of that list.
