Skyline Drifter Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 1 hour ago, Robbo63 said: Will be playing themselves every week as there is no reserve league football this coming season , find it strange a club would sign up a reserve team unless they are part of an academy and on no salary I dont think anybody has formally confirmed there will be no reserve league this season. There has been no decision yet but there is clearly no chance of a reserve league this side of Xmas at least. There are plenty of clubs still running reserve squads though. A number of Premier sides had indicated they planned to pull out of the Reserve League and just play friendlies even before Covid struck. Rangers did that last season. We were playing in the Premier reserve league anyway, I imagine there will eventually be reserve matches to play with those sides, though probably not while costly testing is required. In any event the more senior players may well make up extra spaces in the first team squad if we end up running with the 9 subs the Premiership are using (no decision yet as far as I know) and the younger ones will likely be loaned to Lowland / South sides as they were before. And yes, our reserve squad are largely in a full time education programme. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be likely that some furloughed players who had contracts extended to the end of August will have been released by clubs concerned about when crowds can return. Hopefully we will be talking to some of them and it won't be long before numbers increase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think the club deserve enormous credit for sticking with the Reserves when so many other similar sized clubs have mothballed them or ceased altogether. As Robbo has posted already, Ayr have abandoned their reserve squad. I believe Airdrie did too. Not sure about others. It should be noted perhaps that one who did come through our Reserve / u20s set up very recently is liable to make his full international debut tonight. Appreciate his path was not exactly typical but it shows the merit in the set up. Connor Murray came through it too. Kevin Holt, Gavin Reilly, Ian McShane, and other guys who have made decent lower level careers like Aidan Smith, Scott Hooper, Pat Slattery, Ayrton Sonkur. It's not done too badly over the relatively recent past 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
