Merkie84 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 If Celtgers think lower league football is the place for youth development, what is to stop them loaning out their youth players to league teams? They could pick one team as a “feeder “ team and loan them several players at once. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big club will have too much influence over the wee one. I understand it's a solution to filling the squad on a very limited budget but I'm not a supporter of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen of the South are giving that a fair trial run at the moment. 4 Gers at Palmerston currently, 3 started today, the other came on and scored. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already do loan out a load of their players (we have one from Sevco and one from Celtic; almost certainly neither will make it in the first team of their parent club). As for your second part, they did propose that but almost all clubs (rightly) told them to bolt.

Left Back Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Are the new loan rules allowing 4 from one club permanent or just in place for this season? I've never seen it clarified anywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden Cowboy Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Reserve League doesn't work in the way it used to as regards senior pros being involved. Premier Clubs often have 20 players on first team duty nowadays and their senior pros just don't want to play in reserve games nowadays. SPFL don't as far as I know have a prohibition on colt teams or B teams but member clubs can only own 1 share in the SPFL each 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks. The hatred we have to put up from The Rangers and Celtic is bad enough, why would we want another 2 of you. As an aside, am I the only one who thinks the bribe you are attempting is basically the money you took off the other clubs youth set ups and keep for project brave? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet even then their colts even struggled getting double figure away crowds in the second tier. There is no reason to assume it will be any different for the OF, regardless of how their first teams perform on the pitch.

No. Extra policing because of the trouble that they cause everywhere they go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The huge crowds that OF/Colt fans bring up are the extra police turning up not actual fans. Which even Rangers and Celtic know since these bribes also include a minimum number of tickets sold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I think especially with the feelgood factor of 55, Rangers colts would take huge crowds around League 2 which can only be good for the gameRangers and Celtic fans are mostly utter glory hunters from outside Glasgow who support a team they’ve no connection to because they win things. Unless the Colt teams are dominating the leagues they play in interest will very quickly wain. The only time the Challenge Cup has seen a decent crowd for a Colt game was when Rangers came close to getting to the final and suddenly the Glory Hunters appeared in Inverness. As Marten says it’ll be exactly the same as the Netherlands, for the first couple of seasons it’ll be a novelty and attract fans and then it’ll wear off and the away end will be empty as there’s no interest in watching Rangers Colts drawing with Stenhousemuir. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's very few actual fans there why would there need to be substantial policing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
