Pre-season Summer 2010

Since youth involvement in the squad next year has been a big talking point between fans, how much and which youth players should make an appearance for this match.

I would like to see at least 4-5 youths make an appearance whenever during the match, which would be Bruma, Van Aanholt , Matic, Kakuta and Borini.

Excellent.

Excellent.

Hopefully it indicates that we are not going on a exhausting tour around Asia or America, that's not what pre-season is for.

With the World Cup finishing just 6 days before this one, should be a fair few of the youth boys in the team, especially the likes of Stoch, Mancienne and di Santo to impress.

Gonna be on holiday for this one, so I won't be able to catch it. Shame.

There are rumours of a tour of Europe including games vs Hamburg, Frankfurt and Ajax.

Will be quality!

Whey, pretty decent game to start with!

The one thing i am a little saddened about the whole 'youth uprising' into the squad, is the fact no of them are English, what i mean by them being the ones stated to be given the chance, while others like Mancienne, Cork, are getting nothing.

Also, no name of Stoch on the list, and i doubt he would wait around when he knows he has impressed in Holland.

Mancienne and Cork are on loan and we don't know if they'll want to go out on loan again or not is why, you never know, they could ALL be in the squad which would be pretty awesome

Nice one mate. Barcelona's an amazing holiday, and Valencia's meant to be really nice too. Enjoy it.

Link not working..

If it is as is being discussed above then it is a very clever move by the club, yes they more than likely want to give some good games in the UK to the fringe/young players before the squad fully come back for the pre season tour.

world cup should be good to watch ...only downside watching and hoping none of our players get injured

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

Oh dear...

Just seen Sky Sports News, Crystal Palace may not exist anymore... or at least have to sell their ground.

Daily Record....

RANGERS and Celtic fans are heading for a midsummer clash in London with both clubs invited to take part in glamour tournaments on the same weekend.

Celtic have already confirmed they will participate in the Emirates Cup on Saturday, July 31 and Sunday, August 1 alongside hosts Arsenal and continental big guns AC Milan and Lyon.

Record Sport can reveal that over the same two days Rangers have been asked to play in the Wembley Cup which will feature Chelsea and a top La Liga club.

The SPL champions have yet to accept the offer from event organisers IMG although if they do, about 30,000 Old Firm fans could descend on the capital for the two events.

Security concerns have been raised but it's understood the Metropolitan Police have given the green light for Rangers and Celtic to be in London at the same time.

They feel they can cope with a massive influx of supporters from north of the border - an attitude in stark contrast with Manchester police who blocked plans to lure Rangers south for Gary Neville's August testimonial.
