NeoGeo7 10,496 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 https://Rangers.co.uk/news/academy-news/wilson-makes-sons-loan-move/ DEVELOPMENT Squad defender Aidan Wilson has joined Dumbarton on an Emergency Loan. Wilson, a Scotland U19 International, has already featured three times for the Rangers first team. He made his debut last May and featured most recently in the 2-1 win over Hibernian in December. After featuring as an unused substitute again Fraserburgh last month he will now look to gain valuable first team experience in the Championship. Decent move for him. Will certainly get tested with Dumbarton being 9th and unless we have an injury crisis of our own I doubt he’d have featured for us this term.

K.A.I 36,183 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 good signing for Dumbarton but I’ve yet to be convinced what good these loan moves actually do for our players - id rather see them stay with the unders and play in the European programe everyone always says “good move” in every thread about a youth getting loaned out but it never actually turns out to be a good move at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it doesn’t? Based on every loan move at that level bar 2 maybe Aiden will be the exception to the rule but as I said I’d rather develop them ourselves than put them out to the dregs of Scottish football and hope that playing against other lowly teams makes them Rangers class I don’t actually have loads of better alternatives but let’s not pretend this works either Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously part of that comes down to ability but one of the differences a poster cited between the two was that McCrorie spent time out on loan last season. I think he himself cited this as important when commentating during the Aberdeen game - but I guess it's something that works on a case by case basis really, it's not like there's tangible proof either way. It's maybe more that it prepares the better players who are going to make it anyway when they're on the fringes of the team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not. Sadly it’s a slim chance that any of our lads will really “make it”. It’s why Chelsea buy so many youth hoping that one or two might make the grade and the others good enough to make a bit of a profit on. McCrorie said that his loan to Dumbarton was the one that really made him feel more like a footballer, learned a lot and was ready to push for a place in our first team squad. If it happens too often though it would appear the writing is on the wall e.g. Thompson, Hardie and Walsh being recent examples. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the numbers/volume of players who don’t become Rangers players and/or drop out the game completely or end up playing lower league football is tangible proof enough that these moves aren’t good moves at all of course it’s a question of ability too but it the ability isn’t there, it doesn’t make it a good move either because it doesn’t make them better it just means they have a bit more experience In handling older players and playing competitive instead of unders football Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Is my mind playing tricks on me or did he play at right back for a while in one of the Florida games? Would be good if he good develop in that position as we badly need some cover there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
