RANGERS head of youth, Craig Mulholland, believes that the game needs to change to allow young players to fulfill their potential.
The Academy director is tired of seeing Scottish football filled with youth players who, despite having the potential to be a star, are continuously failed by a system that is not working.
Mulholland firmly believes that careers are being put to waste because of a lack of game time for kids who maybe are not ready for under-20 league matches and are not playing regularly enough.
SFA performance director, Brian McClair has discussed the situation with the Ibrox clubs youth coach and came to the conclusion that things need to change for the good of the game.
He told the Daily Record:
“People say there is no talent and I don’t agree with that – but it has got to get better.
“There is a big debate about youth football, I met with Brian McClair the other day and spent an hour and a half with him”Mulholland wants to bring the best young Scottish talents to Murray field in hope of them reaching Champions League football and making it at international level.”
He is adamant that Mark Warburtons style of player will pass through the ranks of the Glasgow side and stressed that enough youth players will be produced to send the academy into the top 15 in Europe.
The youth coaches first arrangement is to set up a plan at Murray Park that will be help the club in the long-term and thinks donations like the £175,000 one made by the Rangers Youth Development Company last week are exactly what he needs.
