Waiting in the wings

Recommended Posts

There's no doubt that Fleck's recent inclusion in the 1st team has given everyone at Ibrox a new lease of life, it will undoubtedly give the youngsters which by all acounts we have every reason to be excited about the inspiration to knuckle down and metaphorically speaking 'bang on the managers door'. It has also seemed to rejuvenate those in the 1st team who now know that there are youngsters who have the hunger and more importantly the ability to make them think twice about their chance of featuring for the Rangers. The fans have waited forever it seems for Auchenhowie to start producing the stars of the future and knowing we have youngsters like Danny Wilson, Archie Campbell, Gregg Wylde as well as a host of others (Sure they'll be mentioned by other posters) champing at the bit to get out there has lifted some of the gloom that seemed to be surrounding our club last month.

It seems the economic down turn will force our managers hand and we'll have no other option but to bleed all these promising youngsters over the next two years, I think Fleck has proved that that wont necessarily mean we wont be able to compete. Indeed, if the last few weeks are to go by, it may even be a case of being stronger as a result. We the support are often accused of being impatient so I'm hoping we can prove that theory wrong, by all means let's encourage these boys get their chance but let's also give them the support and time they may need to make the step up, not all will come in and look completely at home in the 1st team like Fleck has.

I think that we all accept that producing our own has never been our forte. In the past 20 odd years we can only count the likes of Durrant, Ferguson, Hutton, Macgregor that have broken into the first team and held their own, whereas we have seen dozens of the 'next big thing' come and go in the form of Gary Mcswegan, Charlie Miller, Sandy Robertson, Scott Wilson,Stephen Hughes etc. I think Fleck is going to offer something special, but we are going to get it right once in a while! Thankfully because of our economic state the young guys will get a much better chance than they would have 20 years ago, wether they turn out to be Alan Huttons as opposed to Mo Ross's remains to be seen.

Yeah, obviously there will be hits and misses when it comes to youngsters, however I certainly don't remember similar hype that is being directed towards guys like Wylde and Wilson for anyone mentioned, I genuinely believe we have some very special players ready to burst into the team.

Unfortunately the majority of our fans don't give enough encouragement to young players breaking through and before long after hearing all the moans and groans that thay lack confidence so much that they are afraid to step on the park. One of the first things I would tell youngsters is don't read the papers, don't listen to phone ins and don't read forums like this one.

There is certainly a buzz about the place for the future.

I think fans are going to have to learn some patience with the youngsters as they are going to be relied upon more and more.

Here's to the future rangers stars. :beer1:
