Silver lining here, is that the vast majority of those lads will get nowhere near the first team ?

Why is that something good? Are we not looking for young players to come through the system?

The blog started in October 2008, it has no official connection with the club.

I felt it filled a gap in reporting on youth games.

So you basically been keeping tabs on the youth team since 2008... Give us your personal opinion of the best to have played for us at that level, top 3?

Blog started in 2008, I have been watching youths a lot longer than that.

Top three ?

Off the top of my head

Ian Durrant who played in first youth cup final 

Darren Fletcher who played with Rangers at younger age groups but chose Man Utd at 16

Barry Ferguson who I first saw at 13 in a cup final for Rangers SABC

We are, but in cases like this we need to be realistic. They have a great coach in Kirkwood and the best facilities around - the problem is that most of them are just not good enough.

Darren Fletchers a new one on me, first time ive heard that.

Did Derek Ferguson play in the same youth team as Durrant?

Darren Barr Fletcher, born in Edinburgh, Scotland on 1 February 1984 and raised in Mayfield, played his youth football at Hutchinson Vale and Tynecastle Boys Club. These are two of the best Scottish youth clubs. He was only with them until he was scouted by Manchester United while still eleven years old.

Derek Ferguson was injured in a reserve match  prior to the final.

A misconception from that final was that Derek Ferguson played, but he was carried off in a reserve game at Love Street a week or so before and was ruled out of the final.
