RANGERS reserve coach Tommy Wilson admits they will review their loan policy after several youngsters endured frustrating spells away from the club last season.
A number of reserve-team players went on loan to clubs such as Partick Thistle and Dunfermline last season, while first-team player Charlie Adam spent the second half of the season at Blackpool.

But Wilson admits there is no point sending youngsters out to sit on the bench at other clubs.

"The response has been quite mixed," Wilson told Rangers World. "Some of the lads have gone out and played regularly and gained from it. Other players have gone out and not featured.

"We played Celtic reserves without Steven Kinniburgh, who went to St Johnstone and never kicked a ball, and had to play a 16-year-old.

"The loan thing is something that, together with the first-team staff, we will review thoroughly. It's never going to be perfect but we need players to go and play more regularly.

"We might need to be more selective in terms of where we send the boys and get more guarantees from the clubs. I imagine next year the first-team squad is smaller, so there might be less opportunities for players to go out on loan."

#2 I still stand by that especially when you consider the downsizing operation currently in place at Scotland's number two team, Naka, Hartley & JvoH all on their bike. We have some talented reserve players and the coming season will be a good opportunity to blood them.

Two in a row coming your way!

Suzanne. The players they're talking about in the main are Loy, Kinniburgh, McMillan and Lennon who all went out on loan but didn't play too much. They're youth players, not signings as such.

Shape to Shoot. You just worry about your own mobs problems before slagging us too much. You've got as much, if not more, of a rebuilding job on your hands with similarly limited funds.

And again, if we're so bad, you're worse having finished second. It was always the war cry of a the Celtic fans during Rangers 9IAR. "You're rubbish because you're not doing anything in Europe"

What does that make you when you're finishing below us in the Premier League?

The boys do need to get experience where they're loaneed out to. Glad to see Wilson and Rangers addressing this

The big teams sign loads of players to cover for injuries, wee teams are left to get on with it, its always the way, has been, is and ever will be unless and this applies to Scotland:
1. Religous bigotry is consigned to history
2. People stop being human in wanting to associate with something successfull or a good chance of being so
3. Wee clubs get a rub of the green when trying to hold on to their best players
4. Players stop wanting to be paid as astronauts

Its only when the big boys come unstuck that there is any real fun

Patrick have noticed you have been very quiet on the tic having to play their upcoming qualifiers minus Naka, Hartley. VoH who went out the door for nowt. And Brown and McManus will miss the matches through injury.

Thats 5 players who featured in a prominent starting role last season.

Makes a change from players from other teams sitting on their bench and that's only to stop them playing against them.

"Makes a change from players from other teams sitting on their bench" (#10)

Non-Rangers players sit on the Rangers bench? Are they lost? Victims of some big evil plot that paranoid folk like yourself think exists?

What a shame it wasn't made clear to #2 that the article was about Rangers' reserves.
Admittedly it does say, >RANGERS reserve coach Tommy Wilson admitted< and >A number of reserve-team players went on loan< also >We played Celtc reserves<
There are a couple of other things that would alert a grown up to the topic, but really, the Scotsman should be doing more for the loopy-hoopy types who sit up all night worrying about wee blue men.

11 Your closer to the truth than you realise. Most of them who sit on the bench are lost to the game. Bought to weaken the opposition and to ensure qualification in Europe one way or another.
Players are to numerous to mention.

The truth is that these young lads outside of Scotland,are just not good enough. Being associated with rfc,does not advance their careers either.

The truth is that, as long as people who have nothing to with Scotland, do not identify with it and have nothing to say about it that does not express their own bigotry, like #14, continue to treat a Scottish football team ie, RFC, as if they are something to do with the underlying problems of their own country we will forever be going through the same old sectarian garbage.
Do any Scots go on to the Irish media in order to insult Irish people?

TM still chasing Fortune, hopes to have him signed in a couple of days.

This sort of remind me the way PLG chased Sebo, and we all know how that turned out. lol

For the tics sake lets hope Fortune is a better player.

#15 Rankers supporters comment on these threads and they have nothing good to say about Scotland.They sing songs in praise of the queen of England,wear England tops and wave the English flag,so,where does that leave them?
