Ozblue 4,331 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Well done to all concerned I'm sure the kids and coaches of both teams will be so proud of those achievements against teams from all over the world. Now the hard work starts especially for the u/16's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcb 1,167 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 The appointment of Craig Mulholland as the HOY has coincided perfectly with Mark Warburtons arrival. Both men seem to be in sync in almost every aspect of what is expected from Rangers players.Look forward to seeing the youngsters develop under a progressive, modern coaching set-up.

RyanMac 185 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I honestly feel that within the next 5-10 years we'll be a European force again, with a team of young Scottish Rangers fans. Everything comes in cycles. Positive in every area of our club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcb 1,167 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Important point re - haircuts, hope they only had black boots on as well. Old School; loyalCeltic were defeated 2-1 in the Semi-final, they then refused to take part in the customary penalty kick competition at the end of the game and left before we were presented with the trophy.
