Seems like Chick is stunned that a couple of young prospects have the cheek to demand more money from the one and only mighty Glasgow Rangers.
Wonder if he would cause the same sort of fuss if it was a young hot prospect from Hibs or Hearts who were holding out for a better deal after the Daily record touting them for a move to the old firm.
Was it not chick young who had a pop at hibs a few times for knocking back bids from the old firm for some of our young players and accusing Hibs of not giving the youngsters the chance to progress their careers.
Its people like him that's what's wrong with scottish football and they are partly to blame in my opinion for the greed of some of these young players

Rangers moaning about young players not signing, holding out for a better deal you've got to be kidding me. How many talents have Rangers wasted by giving them more than they can earn in the lower reaches of the SPL. Walter Smith has the cheek to tell them to wait taste of there own bloody medicine. Case of the big boys stealing there toys boo hoo walter man the ****** up!!

John Fleck has started 3 games for Rangers this season, and although the media seem to tout this boy as the "Scottish Wayne Rooney", his performances have been far from impressive. Are people going to sign him based on media reputation alone? Don't think so. There haven't been ANY noises about interest from clubs south of the border, so he's being a foolish wee laddie IMO.
Same for young Danny Wilson - a good prospect, but was so bad in his first game for Rangers, that he was subbed after 16 minutes. Granted, he's looked a lot more competent in his recent outings, but good enough and consistent enough to merit a move away from Ibrox to bigger things? Hardly.
Rangers have put a lot of money and work into their youth setup in recent years, and have moulded these players, so why shouldn't they be unhappy that the advances these boys have made in their career thus far, is met with ingratitude, and a demand for more money - If these guys were playing regularly and making telling contributions to the side, you could perhaps understand, but I agree with Chick Young's comment (and I don't often) - I wouldn't demand to be on the same salary as a post-doctoral researcher, when I'm still doing my PhD - you need to hit a certain professional level and build some negotiating power.
Rangers have a well established history of taking players to not use them, but I would argue that they have been less guilty of this in recent years, with Alan Gow being the last example I can think of, whom was taken and not played, unlike Celtic who continue to pillage other SPL clubs annually, all for the purpose of weakening the opposition.Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

Rankers getting some of their own medicine looks mighty fine to me, I'm afraid. As the OP says, Mr. Young would be singing a different tune were it a couple of Hibee youffs holding out to get a move down the M8.
Let us hope Walter is strangling the ceremonial goat as we speak.

For all that Rangers have been guilty of stealing players from us and others, I do think they have a point. These are teenagers, not established first team players, and should be learning their trade.
Rangers will get compensation if they do go to another club, though, so it's not as if they'll lose them for nothing. Maybe that's the plan?

Thing is, if they are currently paid like youth players and have been offered new contracts at that level, I could understand them wanting to be paid at a level reflecting their involvement in the first team.
Considering Rangers finances, would it be surprising if these 2 have been offered fairly derisory (for Rangers at least) contracts?
Think this probably says more about the state of Rangers than any ambitions these 2 may be harbouring.

That is incredible if you are part of the same first team squad, let alone starting 11 as these players, arguably contributing the same on the pitch but earning twenty-five times less than them.
Think it speaks volumes about the financial problems at Rangers than it does about these kids' egos and greed.
