Rangers midfielder Stephen Kelly has been named Young Player of the Year by Ayr United fans after an impressive season on loan with the Honest Men – and some Gers fans wants Steven Gerrard to give him a chance in the Ibrox first-team when football finally resumes.

I think we need to sign a couple of “failures”
By that, i mean that we need to continue to strengthen, as every year. But we now have a host of young players like Kelly, McCrorie and others who are knocking on the door.
We can send them out on loan again, into the SPL if we can find a suitable team, but they need to be pushing 1st team regulars out the way if they want one of our jerseys.
So whoever we sign this summer may not make it if a kid or 2 breaks through, be it at full back, winger, midfield or elsewhere.
I have no issue with that, as long as the team gets stronger. At least the youth team understand the expectations, the culture and the visceral need to win. Every game, not just some or even most. Every game.
