Rangers trial two new players for B team v Fleetwood | OneFootball

After the last case of mistaken identity, Ibrox Noise isn’t going to rely on source information for who Rangers B trialled for yesterday’s 2-0 defeat by Fleetwood Town, but we did indeed field a couple of new lads who are hoping to earn themselves contracts with the club.

We never did get a correct name for the trialist v Huddersfield after the Brandon Williams episode, and while we have received one name for who appeared yesterday we’ll be wary with this one and leave it!

What we do know is that’s three trialists in two B matches and the first one clearly did not impress enough to secure a contract – it was rumoured he was some random Croatian but we don’t really know. He wasn’t Brandon Williams anyway.

But on this occasion we’ll just see if either of them impressed enough to get a contract with the reserves.

One point also to note is that Clinton Nsiala, the £70,000 summer signing from AC Milan’s Primavera, did start this match, although no reports are to hand for how he got on.

The ex-Rossoneri defender hasn’t yet featured for Rangers even from the bench, or a matchday squad for that matter, and while the club rated him highly enough to bring him in, he doesn’t appear anywhere near ready to impact for the first team.

He was at Ibrox for the Hibs match, just as an onlooker.

The B team also waved goodbye to Ianis Hagi of course, who will no longer ‘rot’ at that level after his situation impasse was finally resolved.

It’s also interesting to see Paul Nsio hovering among the B team, the impressive youngster is one we think knocking on the door of the seniors over the next year or so, we hope to see more of him.

And of course Alex Lowry sits among the B team too, the former senior player simply not finding his way in football yet – he’s on a senior wage we believe, but it utterly hasn’t worked out for him. The attitude probably isn’t helping.

One last point to note is Adam Devine, and how he never got a move out either – he broke into the senior team but just didn’t step up, nowhere near good enough. He will, like many Rangers graduates, make an honest career in football in the UK in some lower league side, but he falls well short of Rangers’ first team.

As for the trialists? Maybe they’ll do better…
