If Gerrard goes its likely due to a lack of transfer budget as he alluded to. A large number of the names mentioned would be looking for a reasonable transfer budget. The job would be a difficult sell to those names without one.

It is interesting the talk about Harry and it also shows how it is so different playing for Hearts and playing for Rangers. When he left Rangers I know a few of the scouts and coaches were disappointed as I was. I take an interest in any player released by Rangers, especially if it was one I thought we should be keeping. Hearts more than any other club promote their young players through the age groups, Rangers have kind of dabbled but it is not the norm. Could I see any current Rangers under 17's playing in the first team now, the answer would be no. Of the 17's only Danny Finlayson has played anywhere near regularly at 20's

Not true on both counts. Killie offered McKay a contract, something showed up in his medical and they withdrew the offer Given was on a YTS contract that celtic had not converted into a pro one. Blackburn stepped in signed him on freedom of contract. Anyone that watched youth games at the time will know he kept the score down in a couple of games against Rangers. Sinclair released a lot of players that are now playing at a decent standard, and replaced them them with bigger, stronger players that are now in the main playing junior and pub football. To be fair in Harry Cochrane's case I believe he asked to be released due to lack of game time. At the time Rangers had four players contesting two centre mid roles, one being Billy Gilmour. In saying that the HOY's job is to identify and nurture any talent, which Hearts obviously did. Falkirk also identified and developed four players he released and made close to £2 million in transfer fees. I think Harry's father is a scout for Rangers.
