simplythebest 11,453 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Rangers' Barrie McKay scored the winner as Scotland's Under-19s came back from two goals down to defeat Sweden 3-2 last night at Somerset Park.Barrie McKay (right) struck in the dying minutes for ScotsThe Swedes started briskly and shot-stopper Jack Hamilton had his hands stung by fierce early efforts from Victor Soderstrom and Alexander Fransson, but the Hearts youngster did well to keep his goal intact.On 20 minutes Jamie Lindsay darted through the visiting defence, but his low curling shot was held by eccentric Swedish goalkeeper Linus Muller.The visitors opened the scoring in fortunate circumstances four minutes from the break when Kristoffer Olsson bent over a free-kick from the left and Soderstrom's flick hit off Alex Davey six yards from goal and rolled in.The Scots introduced towering Carlisle United striker Mark Beck for his debut at half-time, however, less than two minutes into the restart Soderstrom made it two when he turned at the edge of the box and with the Scottish defence backing off he sent a fierce shot home.On 55 minutes, Sweden gave Scotland a route back into the game when Matthew Kennedy's in-swinging corner was headed into his own net by Victor Lindelof at the front post.It was then 2-2 with just over an hour played as Beck, who qualifies for Scotland through a paternal grandparent, slid in to knock home a cut back from Lindsay who deserves great credit for chasing a lost cause all the way to the touchline.And with the game slowly moving towards a draw, the Scots sneaked an unlikely win with five to play when Beck nodded a corner past Muller and after Ramus Lindgren blocked on the line McKay tapped home.http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/rangers/mckay-is-the-hero-in-swede-success-119001n.20561690Well done Barrie!

Sebonotsubo 34 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Not sure but, "the towering Carlisle United striker Beck" sounds like a better signing opportunity than Jon "Arthur" Daly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essandoh 21,207 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 The boy has had all confidence ripped out of him after sitting on the bench for so long. Hopefully this is a sign of him getting it back. He should be starting every game. A very good player with massive potential. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raligt 2,541 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hopefully we would've had a scout at this . Sweden has a good track record of producing talented players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you have us mixed up with a professional organisation. It wasn't an SPL game so we'd have no one there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I wouldn't definitely have him play through the middle. I don't where he was playing last night, but to me he looks like a forward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
centenarystand 2,227 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 He was MOTM recently against Holland u19s. Thought he looked fantastic at the start of the season and has great potential.I wonder though are the coaching staff at Rangers capable of recognising this and unlocking it ? He doesnt seem to have fulfilled expectations so far but comes back from international duty with rave reviews. Do the U19 staff see something our own guys dont?

Credit were credit is due if it wasn't for our coaches Barrie might not have been picked up when killing dropped him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit were credit is due if it wasn't for our coaches Barrie might not have been picked up when killing dropped him.I never said that. I just don't think playing on the wing is his best position. But, they know better than me, and I would defer to them knowing more about him than I do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JograBear 1,074 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Our coaches/management seem to think Papac was a CM, Bartley was a CM/DR, Perry RB, McCulloch LM, Little RM etc etc. So what do they know? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
