The Future Boys

WRITTEN BY DAVID MELVIN

THREE of Rangers’ most promising talents have pledged their long term futures to the club today.

Lewis Macleod, Barrie McKay and Robbie Crawford have all agreed extended deals with the Light Blues following a promising start to the season.

Macleod has started all eight games that Ally McCoist’s side has played this season while McKay has also featured at some stage in each of those outings.

Crawford has been a regular on the subs bench, making four appearances in total, including his top team debut as a sub in the first match of the campaign against Brechin.

18-year-old Macleod and 19-year-old Crawford have both put pen to paper on contracts that will keep them with Scotland’s most successful club until the summer of 2017.

Both have been with the club for a number of years, developing their talents at Auchenhowie and now have the opportunity to blossom in the first team.

McKay, 17, has also pledged his future to the club for another five years after arriving from Kilmarnock in the summer of 2011.

Both McKay and Macleod have represented Scotland at various youth levels, with each taking part in this week’s 2-1 defeat to the Netherlands at under-19 level.

As you can see from our exclusive picture above, Ally McCoist is delighted to have secured the long term future of his trio of talented youngsters.

Great move by Green and McCoist. Very happy that McKay has put pen to paper as he has no doubt had his agent etc in his hear about a move to Everton/Liverpool.

One of the first signs that I was getting old was when I started refering to players as "The young boy"

[scarkev 3,540]

Great news I can see these boys being the backbone of our team in the next few years...no longer should we be in a position where our best players and most talented youngsters are cherry picked on the cheap by vultures down south.
