Fair enough — we can agree on the direction even if we don't see every detail the same way. The club has signalled that youngsters will form the bulk of our backup players and, to be honest, you can see why that is the sensible plan. It gives a pathway and keeps long-term costs down. It isn't pretty sometimes, but it's sustainable.

What youth at the back end of the squad means

Youth as the reserve core doesn't mean throwing kids in recklessly. It means having a structure where young lads train with the first team, learn the shape, the press and the intensity, and step up when called. You'll get mistakes, of course, but also energy and the odd piece of magic. If the coaching is right and the senior players lead, it can pay off. We should accept that patience is part of the bargain.

Curtis: not a winger, but a forward who scores

Calling Curtis a winger doesn't sit right. He's not a classic number 10 or an out-and-out striker either. For me he's more of an inside forward — someone who operates close to the nine, tucks in from the left and looks to get on the end of chances. He can shift to the right and do the same. That kind of player brings movement, goal threat and a bit of unpredictability between the lines. You can see why supporters get excited about that role.

Moore, stability and the balance to strike

Bringing Moore back would be about experience and reliability. There's something to be said for a known quantity who can steady the ship while the youngsters find their feet. It's a pragmatic call — not flash, but sensible. Ultimately, different opinions are fine. We want the same thing at the end of the season: lift the title. If planning and a sensible mix of youth and experience gets us there, so be it.

To be fair, there's room for debate. But patience, the right guidance and a bit of common sense can make this route work. Here's hoping it ends with a celebration at Ibrox.
