@Elfideldo probably the best to ask, academy teams look like they've been taking a bit of a pumping though, so genuinely couldn't say.
Considering they have pretty much only played friendlies for months god knows what the criteria was. Only one other than McCausland who has had first team minutes.

I wasn't at any of the games, but I've been to 100's and 100's of games at all levels over the years and the biggest defeat I've witnessed was 7-0.
On 12th May 1997 in the final Youth League game Rangers fielded a very young team against Cowdenbeath Under 18's because they were playing Celtic in the Youth Cup Final two days later.
Two players I remember who played in the game were Stephen Hughes and Stephen Dobbie, both were 15, the young team collapsed in the final 15 minutes losing 5 goals.
They lost the final 3-2 to a last minute penalty.

All sorts of rumours around the academy at the moment, some will be true and some won't

@Elfideldo McKinnon has obviously been getting some minutes recently and hasn't looked out of place. What are your thoughts on him? Has he stood out at a much lower level mate?
Cole had made good progress and was one that looked likely for first team football.
A concern was that after initially doing well on loan at Thistle, he lost his place I think initially through injury, he got stuck on their subs bench.
Hopefully the recent break into the first team again can see him kick on.

Rice not in the team. Maybe in the senior squad for Thursday.

The lad Brandon Forbes was mentioned a few times in your report is he worth a look at?
I have watched Brandon three times in recent weeks and I have to say i've been impressed. He had a good first half yesterday, but United rarely threatened after the break and as a consequence he was pretty quiet.
He is new into pro youth coming from boys club football pretty late. He only joined United from Thorn Athletic in the summer and as a 2006 this is his last year as an Under 18.
Any players that shows up in a game is worth keeping an eye on on in my opinion.
