gsa 3,906 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'm pretty sure nobody takes anything Nuremberg Hugh says seriously. The fact he is employed by Radio Clyde and the Daily Record say it all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie0202 12,565 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Remove Shagger from that list and it becomes very mediocre and the foreign players hardly came right through the entire youth setup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarkev 3,540 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Keevin's is a 1st rate prick there is no doubt BUT he is right in as much that our youth policy is very outdated and is not as productive as it could be for a club our size.
