Celtic v Rangers live on BBC Scotland Channel tonight, 7.05pm KO
It’s for players born in 2001 and later. Hibs knocked Hearts out, but lost to a strong Queens Park team

It’s at a Hampden, but only relatives and guests allowed in, think there was some trouble at a previous Youth game at Hampden between them

How embarrassing is that. Think there was trouble at more than one game between the two in the last couple of years.

Won’t be surprised if a couple of numpties still made their way into the ground. You can’t tell who is a family relative/guest. They could easily say I’m xxxxx cousin or xxxxx best mate from school. How will the stewards know?

I was at the Hibs / Hearts u18/17? Game last night. Hibs got a player sent off first half for hand ball but still could have won it in the second half. Went down 2-1. A of standouts in both teams. Hearts to their credit had a couple go 14yo in their team! John Rankin taking the Hearts team....you could have heard him in Portobello tbh!

It’s not the first Old Firm Youth fixture to have limited supporter access since some disorder a couple of years ago. A sad indictment on Scottish Football, or rather, a sad indictment for football in the west of Scotland.

I have a guy working for me just now. His kid trains with hibs, hearts and rangers. Seemingly has a big future as all 3 want to sign him. The family are big jambos, but the dad has said they all favour him signing for rangers as they have the best facilities and look after the kids the best. Hibs are in second position due to the history with bringing kids through and hearts have no chance seemingly.

Depressing that a boy from Edinburgh will choose to join Rangers. I questioned why, as I would’ve thought the hibs facilities would be up there but seemingly rangers are just next level.

Perhaps Ranges “look after”the parents best.

Possibly. He said hearts were too strict. Hibs were very laid back and one of the positives for rangers were that they fed the kids after training before sending them home.

Rangers showed more interest in him whereas at hibs he didnt feel wanted and was seen as just a number. He ended up at Edinburgh City then found girlfriends, beer and fast cars 🙄

Ps - he was with a very successful Tynecastle team at the time and turned down the chance to train with hearts 😆🇳🇬

Couple of players as well to watch out for tonight

Oko-Flex, Irish boy Celtic signed from Arsenal, think he’s only 17

Rangers
Josh McPake, think this is the lad Hibs lost to Rangers a few years ago. They regards him as a hot prospect

Read in the bbc gossip column that one of the Celtic youth players is wanted by a club in the German Bundesliga (think it is Hoffenheim, might be wrong). First thoughts were thinking it was Dembele but wasn’t. Someone called Morrison? Unsure if he is playing.

I was thinking about that when I first read about the interest from Hoffenheim. Hamburg took Bates from Sevco, now Hoffenheim want Morrison. We Hibees all hold Porteous in high regard but it's other players who are sought after. Are we guilty of wearing green coloured glasses when we are measuring the potential of our young players?

They’re def from Edinburgh. The son is about 13-14 I think. The dad didn’t say how good he was, but a few other tradesman that know the family said the son had a very bright future in the game.

He talked positively about hibs though, which considering he is a massive Jambo is high praise indeed!

Will be interesting to see how many of those lads make the break through. It's interesting to see the Hibs team from last year, the majority of them are still involved in the development side or have made the breakthrough, unlike the league and cup double team from a few years ago.

What an absolute embarrassment to Scottish football that a youth game has to be played behind closed doors to stop fans from rioting.

Just let that sink in for a second - a youth game where no fans are allowed in to watch, in order to stop rioting.

So sad and an utterly pathetic state of affairs.

I think Rangers and Celtic can and do push the boat out to land the best talent.
I can't remember if it was John Fleck, currently starring for Sheffield United and heading for the Prem or the lad that is now starring in Chelseas youth sides but im sure Rangers rehomed the family in an affluent area as the boy came from a total **** part of Glasgow and he had to cut all ties with mates and associates.

Couldn't agree more when you think of the justifiable criticism we have had recently compare and contrast that the two biggest clubs in the country are incapable of playing each other in a youth game without it becoming a riot. Shameful.

Fully agree.

Watched the game on BBC website and was actually a quite good advert for youth football in this country.

But instead the muppets who run the game in Scotland make it closed door.

If they can’t sort a youth game what hope does it give the adult game.

Pitch invasions / smoke bombs and coconuts it doesn’t matter as they are brushing under the carpet the behaviour of the old firm fans.

What a mess Scottish football is in.
