Jordan Thompson joins Raith on loan. Glasgow evening times reporting that a young CB is being loaned to us from Raith? Strange one as it suggests he'll be in our u20's! Can't see the point in that!

After a bit of digging I can see he was man of the match against us when we beat them 1-0 away last season. I guess he's there for a chance to prove he's good enough for the first team.

Surely we aren't signing a player on loan from raith.

People are so negative. What's to lose? The boy comes in and gets better coaching, we see him on a day to day basis at a minimal cost. If he impresses I'm sure there will be a fee already arranged and we're a step ahead of Celtic and clubs down south to sign him. If he doesn't then he goes back to Raith with no real financial impact to us. Nobody is suggesting he has been signed to sort out our defence. This is exactly the approach we should be taking with our youth sides, top EPL and European sides do the same. I wish the lad good luck and hopefully it turns out to be a shrewd piece of business.

Cam down James, this is obviously not a reply to Toure or a signing for the first team. Simply a club giving a youngster a chance to come and impress, give us a chance to have a look at him both on and off the pitch. Basically a way for the club to scout a promising player.

Seriously guys search for your inner chi or something, no need to be panicking or demanding at this point, its the continuation of a journey we are on.

He's been signed to go into the youth system is he not?

Rangers Confirmed he was signed for the Development Squad. We are obvously interested in the kid nothing to lose.

The lad has been signed for the development squad. It says so in the club statement. A lot of young players were released at the end of the season, the squad that is in South Africa has an average of 17 and it's an u21 comp. Makes sense to bring him at no cost and if he plays well in the development squad he may have a chance at a permanent deal. Look at it as a 6 month trial for a youth player.

Caw1 if MW spotted a player from a junior team so what,
the lad from Raith must have caught his eye, what's wrong with that, players have to start from somewhere .

The only problem I have with this is that MW slates the development league saying young players need to be playing 1st team football then takes a player from raiths 1st team for our development squad?

Nacho Novo started at Raith when he came to the Uk. Everyone has to start somewhere!

Jamie Vardy springs to mind, just because of who he plays for, doesn't mean anything. Trust our manager, he knows his stuff.

Livingston defender Morgyn niel would be a great buy imo.
