[Stevethebluenose90]

Superb achievement! Well done the young bears

 

[PortoyMortoy]

Was this trip paid for by the people who set this up? If so 75,000 for showing up and winning a football tournament is good for the youth program

 

[thomsonstackle]

European Cup next lads.

 

[Bluebrox]

And the trophy is lifted, along with cheque for $75,000

Well done lads !!!!!

The joy on their faces !

Championees!

You did the Rangers proud.

Fantastic.

 

[coplandrearl36]

Only the start of the Trophy haul.

 

[Sandbear]

What a well run tournament and a fantastic result for the boys, some really exciting players in that group.

 

[MSF]

You can gurantee some of the Roma players will go for big money in the future. £10/15/20m, you name it. Thats the way it goes.

However our players are better, will we be able to continue their development and fix the problem Scottish football has between youth and first team?

I think we can.
