billythebear1986 316 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Charlie miller - Looked to have all the talent in the world, Maybe didnt have the deadication Robert Malcolm - Captain of our youth team, broke through at 18, Stephen Hughes - Got in a team full of stars at the end of the Advocaat era Stevie Smith - Unfair and too early too say. long lay off did him no good. Looked like very comfortable left back before injury Chris burke probaly our greatest underacheiver. looked blistering at times tormenting defences, then the next week would fail to show up Charlie Adam - Over 10 goals from Midfield in first full season, Then steady got worse and worse became a hate figure in our support At 1 time or another we have had high hopes for these players. Where does the blame lie? Scottish life style. Rangers ability of training up youth? I think IF Burke and Miller could have filled there early promise they could have been real quality???

Gaitens09RFC 0 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Burke was the one witht he most potential in my opinion but was just really unlucky with injuries, adam was just a idiot who drank too much and now look at him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark_ni 12 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 steve maclean, thought he was an excellent prospect, went on loan and scored 25 goals for scunthorpe i think it was. Sold a matter of weeks later without really getting a chance in the first team. couple of good season for sheffield wednesday but its all went downhill since then.

FUDGIE52 9 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Derek Ferguson should,ve been a bigger player than he was. Martin Henderson had a great season the year we won the treble, then just disappeared. Billy McKay, was the Chris Burke of his day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morry 0 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 david hagen remember him scoring on his debut against hibs then never did anything after that. Ross McCormack wasnt really given a chance though. andy dowie expected big things when he was younger. sandy robertson another one that fell off the radar. neil murray scored the winner in the scottish cup final to clinch the treble in 93 then hung around for a while then disappeared to switzerland or something.

bazzmanrfc 0 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Watching the game versus Glentoran last weekend, i really dont feel any of the young talent really stood at all, against what was really a Glentoran reserve side! Wilson, Mcmillin, Loy, Lennon and especially Fleck were all outplayed! I feel they have been so overhyped, and i feel that we put far to much expectation on these guys!

macka1990 0 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Adam has in my opinion the most natural talent, that hasnt been fulfilled Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theorangephantom 0 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 The major problem with charlie adam was and still is his weight. How a proffesional football player can have an arse that size is beyond me. He has shown he has talent in the past, it just seems the scottish/british mentallity of the younger player is once they get into the first team and the salary goes up, they have made it.

Gaffbear 4,104 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Derek Ferguson was one of the best Rangers youngsters i ever saw..10 times what Barry was/is and better than wee Durrant. Kebabs and nights oot wi Ally and Durrant put paid to it though.....could have been a legend.. Shuggy Burns at right back was a great player Steven Hughes had all the attributes to make it i thought.

AMMS 27 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Charlie Miller wins this hands down. Miller played for Scotland at the under 18 world cup and was voted the tournaments top player alongside Robert Pires and Ivan De La Pena. Miller was truly a world class prospect as a schoolboy and should have went on to fulfil at least some of that potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
