00:00Greg, many thanks for joining us. Not the result you wanted today, but good development
00:05for the players, they're playing in such a large crowd.
00:08Yes, a disappointing result for the lads today, but in terms of coming over to the Super Cup,
00:14it's a big part of our calendar every year and we love it in terms of the environment,
00:19the fans, the crowd. The lads probably never had the chance to play in front of and that
00:24type of environment is challenging and it's really good for them and hopefully good for
00:29their longer-term development, that's what we hope for.
00:31We spoke off-camera, it's been a few frustrating results and I suppose there's another one
00:34that will be the same today?
00:35Yes, we've played against a lot of different styles of teams, different pitches, big pitches,
00:40small pitches, grass, astro, again all good development challenges for the lads. There's
00:46some areas for us to take home and identify some areas we need to work on, which again
00:51is all part of development football. There's been some good things as well and some exciting
00:57bits of play, which has been great, scored a couple of nice goals. But like you say,
01:01it has been a disappointing tournament for us as a squad, but the development and the
01:06environment and the challenges that they've had to face is always why we love coming to
01:11the Super Cup.
01:12You speak about nice goals, it's very hard to single out individuals in a team game,
01:16but Kyle Glasgow seems to have his own highlight reel this week?
01:18Yes, listen, Kyle is a talented young player who can score goals like that regularly. It's
01:26not the first time we've seen him score them, so the wee man's got that in the locker. Like
01:30all the other lads, he's got some things to work on as well, which we'll speak about during
01:34this week too. Again, that's what we're here for.
01:39One last game tomorrow, are you looking to buy out with a win there?
01:43Yes, listen, again, it's going to be tough for the lads to get themselves up for it tomorrow
01:47with the last game of the week, but any game is an opportunity when you're playing for
01:52Rangers to go and show what you can do. We'll help pick them up tonight, get them ready
01:58for tomorrow like we always do, and hopefully the lads can come out and enjoy their last
02:02game and their last dose of the Super Cup.
