So it’s been 9 months since I last looked at the amount of mins under 21’s are getting in the SPFL Premiership. Still not a good picture but I have added a 2nd page to highlight which clubs are also loaning out players for mins. Should the clubs be mandated by the league to give a minimum amount of

I feel these two options would be good. Kacper Trelowski has had an outstanding season in Poland and will only get better, and more expensive, over the next couple of years. Tougai is a strong and experienced CB who would have no problems adapting to Scottish football.

Asked some of my Celtic supporting friends which positions they feel need strengthened this summer. They chose Goalkeeper and Centre-Back to start with. (Although they also suggested a winger and a striker, which I will highlight in another post.)

the box. Esposito is likely to get a squad role at Inter Milan soon, especially after his strong spell at Spezia. But if Inter want him to get regular top-flight minutes next season then a loan move to a team competing in Europe could be a perfect development step.

Francesco Pio Esposito is one of the most exciting young strikers in Italy right now. Although it would be ambitious to attempt to get him on loan I think he would be perfect for Rangers and Russell Martin’s play style, a striker who can link play, press with energy and be a constant threat inside

Not surprised in the slightest that Heart of Midlothian FC have made Elton Kabangu a permanent signing. 13 goals is his best single season tally and I fully expect him to pass this in the 25/26 season.

What are your thoughts on the numbers? What percentage do you think teams should be aiming for at a minimum? Also would you be for the league introducing a rule in regards to playing domestic youth players? Players who have turned 21 during the season so far are included in these stats.

Aerial duels won, % - 69.52 (86) Interceptions per 90 - 6.2 (91) Passing accuracy - 82.99 (31) Accurate long passes - 53.26 (52) Progressive passes per 90 - 7.92 (60) Looks like he would be a great partner for Souttar when he returns but need another CB who excels at playing out from the back.

Katic Interested to hear people’s opinions if he was to return to Rangers. His stats and (percentiles) for this season in the Swiss Super League are: Successful defensive actions per 90 - 10.47 (72) Defensive duels per 90 - 6.31 (60) Defensive duels won, % - 66.12 (38)

Also someone spoke about getting the B Team into the league set up, personally I don’t think that will happen as fans of other clubs don’t want B Teams in the league and have made that clear, so why are these players not currently out on loan getting minutes? Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Gary King @garyking90.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

(although, not as much as we should have) and a few of those players have shown more desire and effort than “experienced” players within the squad. Surely to help the development you’ve got to get them minutes. Last night would’ve been a great chance for youth players to get 20 mins under there belt

Gary King @garyking90.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

So I’ve seen Clement’s quotes from the Rangers AGM where he says the bar is high to be a Rangers player and the academy players aren’t quite at the bar yet. Personally I would disagree. We have seen King, Devine, Fraser, McKinnon, Rice, Lowry and Lovelace at some point over the past year

Solid at the back tonight. Apart from a couple of lapses in concentration where he gives the ball away. He just needs a better partner. Propper only won 1 of 3 ground duels and didn’t win his 1 aerial duel. #RangersFC #UEL

3 goals from 3 shots on target, also from an xG of only 0.83. When was the last time Rangers were so efficient up top? #RangersFC #UEL

Is it how results driven the business has become that’s affecting managers bringing through younger players? Too much pressure to experiment.

Gary King @garyking90.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

If clubs were consistently selling players from their academies for good money then you could dismiss the fact they don’t have many players from their own academy in the squads but we know that’s not really the case.

Looked into the spread of academies players were developed at within the squads of the SPFL Premiership. Thoughts? Data from Transfermarkt

No problem. I had originally looked at under 21’s but think it said there were only 6 in the whole league so increased to under 23’s.
