Heres the article: Wotte reckons the U20 league will benefit young stars such as Rangers' Rhys McCabe MARK WOTTE last night hailed the SPL’s decision to start an Under-20s league next season as a major step on Scottish football’s road to recovery. The SFA performance director was delighted that one of the initiatives he trumpeted as a way to improve the future of our game has been embraced by the SPL, who will kick off their Under-20 league on September 1. The matches will be staged on a Monday night and a number of over-age players will be allowed to take part, giving youngsters invaluable experience of competing against hardened pros – and Wotte believes the kids will benefit enormously. He said: “I’m delighted my idea has the support of the SPL. At the moment there is too big a gap between the Under-19 league and the first team. “It is very difficult for boys to bridge that gap – but this gives them a better chance. “I believe clubs will still use 18 and 19-year-olds, as well as their slightly older players and some over-age players who may be returning from injury. “They will be playing in a competitive league every Monday and that will be a really good thing for them.” Wotte pointed to the impact young Rangers midfielder Rhys McCabe has made in recent weeks at Ibrox and admitted he feared for boys like him because they weren’t playing enough football. He said: “Young McCabe’s situation was a perfect example of something that was seriously wrong with the game here. “He was too old for the Under-19 league but not experienced enough to play in the first team so he was getting no competitive football at all. “He’d be playing the odd bounce game but that is not enough for guys with talent to develop. “Thankfully he has been given his chance at Rangers and has shown he has promise. “He stepped into an Old Firm game and didn’t look out of place. But this new league will give boys like him the chance to play more regularly. “If every SPL team finds one player more than they would have because of this league, it will have done a great job. “We have to get more young players through if the game is to flourish here. Boys like James Forrest at Celtic have emerged but not enough of them. Ideally, I would have liked an Under-21 league or a return to the reserve league but I was told there was no way clubs could afford to have two teams. “So this is a compromise. Clubs can still use their youth players but have one or two senior professionals involved as well. It will be a great help to everyone.” Neil Doncaster, SPL chief Executive, agreed the league would benefit youth development in the country. He said: “Providing the right platform for developing young Scottish players is vital for the whole of Scottish football and I am delighted to announce the introduction of an Under-20 league from next season. “Working in conjunction with the SFA, I hope this goes some way to reducing the development gap between the current Under-19 league and the SPL. “It will better equip young players for the demands of first-team football and aid the development of more and better young Scots for the national team.” Sounds just like a reserve league but with the focus on u21's, with a certain amount of "overage" players being able to play to keep up fitness or regain fitness after injuries.

Great post mate will rep this when i get in, fully agree with this. We will be back and when we are our enemies who have shown theirselves during this will know we will never go away

This is it mate, they know they need us but want to put as at such a disadvantage that we can't compete on a level playing field. Fuck that imo, level playing field or 3rd division and watch them fade into a part time league when other clubs go to the wall. Im completely against liquidation btw

Done

All the best to him, lost a family member at 19 as well to a brain tumour. Horrible thing that you cant predict, thoughts are with the boy and his family and hoping he pulls through.

This is the first thing i thought of as well.

Think it's 75% of the creditors need to agree to it to get it through mate

I decided to adapt one of Mr Churchill's quotes We shall defend our club, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the pitch, we shall fight on the terraces, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender

Hopefully, these deals they struck with the administrators are only in effect whilst we are in administration? I'm not sure if that's correct? If it is then hopefully were under a new owner/owners before any of these vultures try and rip the backbone of our team out for fuck all.

Notch up another one for Mr Findlay

SONE ALUKO has experienced a little bit of everything in his short Rangers career but the winger admits he has loved his four months in Glasgow. The 23-year-old has experienced some great highs and some painful lows on the pitch and been through some dramatic moments off it when the club moved in to administration. But he insists he has enjoyed the experience of being a Rangers player and expects the club to emerge strongly next season. He said: "Personally it's been good. I'm not going to lie, I've enjoyed it even though there have been some negatives and positives. "That's football and that's life. When I came to Rangers I didn't think it was going to be plain sailing and winning every game and cruising to the league. "I knew it could be difficult but personally I've played a lot of games and scored more goals than I thought I would. "I have achieved a lot of the goals that I set for myself when I came here, and that's before the season has ended. "Obviously for the team and for the club I'd prefer things were different but it hasn't gone to plan with some unforeseen incidents happening. "That's football though and you have to deal with it and I've still enjoyed it here." Aluko might have had a different view of things at Ibrox having spent six months out of the game, but he says that spell had little impact on how he views recent events. And he admits that he sees a positive future for the club and one that can include him as a player. He added: "I think I'd still feel the same way if I'd come straight here from Aberdeen in the summer, it's just the way I look at things. "We'll still play for Rangers next season and hopefully we can be better and move on more positively and one day we'll look at it as a bad spell that we came out of stronger. "My contract is not something we're discussing right now because we have big games but it's something we'll look to and will be sorted out when it's sorted out." Hopefully, when were out the mess were in that the moment, we get this boy signed up long-term comes across as a a hard worker
