Del 667 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 After seeing the news about the club hiring the new coaches and reading the interview with Craig Mulholland about the appointments, I can help but think he doesn't get the credit he deserves! I could listen to him all day, he gets what it means to at Rangers and to play for Rangers, the way he speaks about giving youth players a chance and I think overall he has been a big success since he was appointed in 2015. Although there have only been a handful of young players from our academy playing week in and week in recent years, the current crop look like they could be the best in a while, especially at younger levels. His reputation in the football world seems to be growing and growing, so hopefully we can keep a hold of him, as I think the man is a credit to Rangers!

pcbear 10,913 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I wonder if Hibs were sniffing round Thomson I half expected to read one day that he had been appointed on to their staff, anyway I am glad he is at Ibrox alongside a good few other ex players, if any show a special talent it may well be a Murty type route to the big chair.

plumbGER 24,518 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Aye but blue avenger said you only get a chance if you are Walters nephew etc. He seems a likeable guy and knows his shit, highly regarded in his field of employment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

William McBeath 2,154 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Sounds as if we are trying to do something decent with the academy. Let's hope we see more young players coming through as a result of this combining too coaches with guys who know what it takes to play for Rangers.

KingKirk 25,632 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Remember Southampton wanted him to be head of academy. He rejected them. For however long he remains at our club he will be a massive asset. Didn't he say he wanted our academy to be in the top 10 rated in the uk he was laughed at I wouldn't put it past him achieving it.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warburton wanted him and Murty was spoken about as a likely replacement. Craig's all-in in what he's doing with our kids and really wants to see it bear fruit long-term. I think the fact he's also had a kid of his own in the last 12 months also played a part in him not going anywhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was saying it all last season too but if there's one area of the club where we are doing things right its the Academy. The difference over the last few years is ridiculous.

esquire8 42,452 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Craig knows if he does a sterling job of turning our youth football around that the big teams down south will come calling for the big bucks. Glad he's doing a great job so far and can set up a successor for years to come. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Just watched his RTV interview there. Every time he speaks you can tell he genuinely loves his work and knows what he's talking about. Deserves alot of credit for the progress of the academy over the last few years it seems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace 3,556 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 There was a good interview with him of Clyde tonight, the point of note imo was he seemed very confident about the possibility of Colt teams playing in lower leagues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
