Rangers youth coach Kirkwood confident more top kids will come through

Rangers youth coach Billy Kirkwood is confident they will continue producing talent for the Scotland national team.

Kirkwood believes Ibrox trio Kyle Hutton, Gregg Wylde and John Fleck will all have a part to play for the Scots in the future after being given their chance in the first team at Rangers.

The under-19s coach said: "Craig Levein said, when he was at Cowdenbeath, he looked five years ahead all the time, he kept on looking down the line.

"We think we have got a good batch of young lads at Rangers. Danny Wilson, for example, left and went to Liverpool.

"We are hoping players like Hutton, Wylde and Fleck can break through and we can watch them at national level.

"I would be delighted to watch these lads play for Scotland in five years' time and that's the challenge they've got.

"First and foremost, it's a regular place in the Rangers first team and then taking the step up to Scotland."
