Been told that this kid is something very special and is an even hotter prospect than Billy Gilmour was at the same age. Anyone seen him in action?
Don't know much about him, think he's 15 and an attacking midfielder. My uncle told me about him, he was talking to someone who was/is one of his schoolteachersAny more info?
Age, level, contract?
It's forever going to be the risk that some EPL side takes a punt on our youths. Look at Kennedy yesterday, Gilmour before him. I'm surprised we've held on to Patterson. I also worry that Brexit will have an impact on this too. Maybe more and more English clubs will be forced to look up here for value.
Yep.Hadnt heard about him before this thread. If hes anywhere near as good as Gilmour was at 15 thats exciting news
Aye he was.Gilmour was training with the first team at 15 wasn’t he.

Difference is Patterson has Rangers at heart ..he wants to play for us , ...the other two don't...It's forever going to be the risk that some EPL side takes a punt on our youths.

Let’s Hope he is a good Bluenose then.
And we’ll continue to do the same, we’ve picked up quite a few young players from down south due to this too.It's forever going to be the risk that some EPL side takes a punt on our youths.

Take away his parents internet/phones until we get him tied to a professional contract.
MacKenzie Strachan is one of the other lads in clip that plays first pass through to Lindsay. Rory and MacKenzie are from same area, two great lads and really good players.
briefly ye . He played a small intro part in the tourney and scored once .
He can’t until he’s 17Let's hope he actually signs professional forms with us then.
Remember when Fleck was coming through and his legend had been written before a first team game.Billy Gilmour isn't Billy Gilmour yet.
Get his dad on a £5k a week contract to sit in the stadium every other week and tell is how comfy the seats are, until he can sign himself.Take away his parents internet/phones until we get him tied to a professional contract.

Is it not 16?He can’t until he’s 17
He took that well, touch of the sniffer.

Those days are well gone mate with the money that can be made down south at a young age.Let’s Hope he is a good Bluenose then.
You need to stop this misinformation . Billy Gilmour’s family wouldn’t allow him to sign a professional contract.Get his dad on a £5k a week contract to sit in the stadium every other week and tell is how comfy the seats are, until he can sign himself.
Is that not how they do it down south? Basically bribe the parents to get the kids to sign on?
@elfideldo is the man to give a reasoned and balanced account on Wilson having seen him play - unlike the majority on here. He’s not going to be crass enough to label him ‘the next Billy Gilmour’ or heap unnecessary pressure on him, but he could certainly give us an idea of his standing in comparison to his peers and whether he’s one to keep an eye on.
Younger brother playing for themWent to school with his Mum and seen she posted the other night he was moving into digs as he was singing pro.
His Dad played a couple of games for the Sheep in his youth.
Think he has a younger brother also playing for us.
Sad but true.Those days are well gone mate with the money that can be made down south at a young age.
It’s 16Is it not 16?
Calm down fella. I wasn't suggesting Billy Gimour's family had done anything.You need to stop this misinformation . Billy Gilmour’s family wouldn’t allow him to sign a professional contract.
They still left him at our Academy despite multiple offers from other clubs when he was 14.
We have been told that sell on agreements have earned us over £1m to date.
Billy is reckoned to be earning over £2m per annum and he’s only 20 yo. We cannot compete with that and never will.
Our people have done a great job and deserved credit not sarcastic comments that are simply not true
He's out of contract next summer so club will need to get moving on with it if we want to tie him down. Need to show there's a pathway for him or else I think he might go.Think Leon King is the next one we’ll see make a breakthrough into the first team tbh!
perfectly calm old chap, you were suggesting our people had missed the boat, which is wrongCalm down fella. I wasn't suggesting Billy Gimour's family had done anything.
I'm just pointing out that clubs down south get up to shenanigans to sign up young players. I'm sure I'd read about one (Chelsea I think) employing the father of the player they wanted as they couldn't offer the kid terms. I'm sure it goes on at others.
I don't think i suggested that at all. I simply suggested we engage in similar shenanigans to tie the lad down if he's a prospect. If down south come in with a bigger offer there's not much we can do.perfectly calm old chap, you were suggesting our people had missed the boat, which is wrong
“Oh, and get him on a decent contract so we don’t lose out like we did with Billy Gilmour”I don't think i suggested that at all. I simply suggested we engage in similar shenanigans to tie the lad down if he's a prospect. If down south come in with a bigger offer there's not much we can do.
