u18 highlights: Rangers 5 Celtic 0

Pumped
Some talent. Just need to be given the chance

We will get a chance to see how they do against 'men' in the Caramel Wafer Challenge Cup. Meeting the physical challenge is the most difficult part for them, you'd hope that if they are at Rangers they have the ability and technical skills already. To be fair, they've risen to the challenge so far - though they took a bit of time to do so against Solihull Moors and could have been bullied out of it early doors.

The ones that play against Wrexham will be somewhat different. This was the Under 18s and against Wrexham it'll be more the age group above that players.

The likes of Nathan Young-Coombes will probably make the bench. Not saying it'll be a wholly different squad, but it will be different. Obviously Grezda and 1 other over 21 likely to play too.

Just 4 who played on Sunday featured against Solihull Moors I think.

What I was responding to was someone saying the youths who beat the Dhims 'need to be given a chance'. As you rightly point out, they are an age group below the guys who are most likely to be given a chance. Even then, both age groups have to prove they can do it against 'men' on a regular basis before being ready to get a chance in our first team.
 
The youngsters should be fine going forward, it'll be at the back we will struggle.

Probably goes without saying against older and stronger opponents.
 

Indeed it is.

From a post on the other thread by our very own @elfideldo :

Celtic were roughly a year younger on average, but tweeted the majority of their team was U16 which was untrue.

3 from 11 is not a majority even Diane Abbot would know.

For what ever reason they chose not to play Dembele and Oko-Flex. Maybe they knew Rangers would win anyway and this gave them an excuse.


Nice to see that the very first response to that tweet was @elfideldo telling them that as well. Well in that man.

Same old Celtic, always lying.

Indeed mate.

Its great to see so many young bears coming through the ranks though and looking very promising. Just need us to find that next step where they get onto the first team squad. There are a few that look like they'll be in the running for that before long!
 
Dickson was absolutely everywhere in those highlights. Great pressing and calm passing. Takes his goal very well too.
 
Dickson looked a stand out on those highlights to be honest with you.

Don't know a lot about him, but he looks to have at least a chance.
 
Young guys win in Cup and the poets official twitter goes with lies rather than congratulate the winners. So predictable from the sewer dwellers.
