AlBear. 8,499 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/rangerstv/item/5338-goals-stoney-grabs-hat-trickVideos of Danny Stoney's hat trick in Rangers U20 6-0 win over Dunfermline in the Youth Cup. He took his first really well and watching the highlights he could have easily got himself 5 goals.How good is Danny Stoney? How good can he be?Ever since I saw him come on as a substitute in the friendly against Linfield I've rated this boy. He just looks a class player, you know when you see a player and you just know he has that ingredient needed to make it. Still only 17 and I know it's naive to hype a player still at such an early stage in his career. Admittedly I've seen very little of him apart from his 4 sub-appearances at the end of last season and U20 highlights on Rangerstv but I'm convinced he has what it takes to make it as a footballer, and make it at Rangers FC.

cameron1873 511 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 1st one was a nice finish. Looks like a good prospect up front. Dont remember the last time we had a forward break through from the youth system Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 With our size of senior squad now his opportunities will likely be limited. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shetland Bear 433 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 He played very well on Sunday, but in my opinion, Telfer, Walsh, Sinnamon and Callum Gallagher all played better than him. A lot of promising youngsters at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelightfulDennis 123 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Looks an excellent prospect. Only needs to look towards Andy Little and Lewis Macleod to see what can be achieved if you work hard and take your chance when it comes.

elephants stoned 2,994 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I hope Danny and alot of other young guys at least get a few subs appearences soon, its great to see young lads getting a chance and even a few 10-15 minute cameos will give them a real boost and spur them on too push even harder for selection.

If we go 3-0 up then we could think about making changes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig53 326 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Andy Little?Could you count him, since we signed him at 17? Not nitpicking, genuinely wondering if he can still be classed as a youth product Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go 3-0 up then we could think about making changes.Thats the best way to blood young players, with less pressure and it will give them a chance to show the support what they have got, was it Tom Walsh last season came on late in a match and did ok but has not been seen since near the first team.

Why when we are a few goals up we don't give the kids a chance rather than an established player is beyond me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cumnockbear 2,446 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Stoney is a brilliant young talent, hope he gets his break through soon. probably get loaned to some 3rd division team or punted which always seems to be the Rangers way.
