Wasn't McTominay also playing (right of a back three)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to see them both start but bologna are on a bit of bad run of 6 defeats and 1 victory in their last 7 games. Hopefully it's not down to Binks and hickey, I haven't watched the games so maybe they have played well despite the poor form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the loan system most of Rangers best prospects like Mayo, Williamson, Kennedy etc aren’t at the club, the B team is effectively an under 19 side and a level below the old under 20’s side even. Could obviously argue Lowry and King could have started but good to see the minutes they got. I know I am generally quite scathing about Rangers unwillingness to develop Scots into first team players, but I am very encouraged by the conveyor belt of talent that seems to be coming out of there right now. It just hasn't really translated into first team opportunities yet. Hopefully Lowry has now forced himself into the reckoning. As I've said before, I couldn't care less if they make it at Rangers or not. As long as their development isn't hindered, Rangers can sell/release every talented player they have.

mccaughey85 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Norwich actually looking like they could stay up, last two results have been great. Hanleys played both as well which is encouraging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syecosse Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 To be fair reading a report about his performance at RB it only reads OK nowhere near as effective as he is LB. This is from analyst byron Hutchinson who covers a lot of Scots abroad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan blood Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 10 hours ago, Blantyre_Braveheart said: Lowry has ridiculous levels of technique. He has a lot of work to do on the other aspects of his game but technique wise he is up there with Aribo. Gio and the team obviously like the look of Lowry and gave him a debut over the Irish lad Charlie McCann who has trained a lot with the first team this season and sent Kelly out on loan. On them not starting, it is disappointing but this game also comes on the back of a 3/4 week break. I dislike the Scottish cup game coming right after the break. Instead of giving youngsters chances, you are having to build up fitness and sharpness levels of first team players. I've just clocked that Alex Lowry also went to the Performance Schools. As did Leon King (I think). We're really starting to notice a big difference. Instead of maybe being ready at 21/22, these guys are showing class at a much younger age. I'd be interested to see a list of where all the graduated PS kids are. The SFA website doesn't look like it's up to date at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the site not long ago and Malky was still shown as Performance Director. You’d think they’d be keen to show off the successes starting to come through after all the initial fanfare. Or are they still thinking of canning them quietly in the background. Harder to cancel something if it’s perceived to be a big success… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say, would be great to see a list of players, say, who’ve made a senior club appearance or played for the under 21s.
