Rangers, Celtic and other teams “vote against” EPL teams illegally Poaching young talents in SPFL

Gers and Celtic are among the Scottish clubs looking for a “major shake-up” to prevent English clubs from snatching young players, according to the Scottish Sun.

According to the newspaper (4 March), SPFL clubs want a rule change that would necessitate full transfer fees for 14-year-old players.

The Press & Journal reported on March 4 that SPFL teams are considering decreasing the age at which academy graduates can sign full-time to 14.

Rangers, Celtic, and other teams are right in asking for this transfer move.

All Scottish clubs, including Rangers, are right in attempting to impose professional contracts for young players at the age of 14.

This will preserve their talent pool and prevent English teams from poaching their prospects prematurely.

The existing system, in which players can only turn professional at the age of 16,

puts Scottish clubs at risk of losing their finest young players to English clubs that can give professional contracts sooner.

Allowing professional contracts at age 14 would give Scottish teams more control over their young development and boost their chances of retaining talented players.

This approach attempts to level the playing field and ensure that Scottish clubs are fairly compensated for developing new talent.

The Gers received some compensation from Aston Villa for Rory Wilson, although these rules favour English teams.

Furthermore, given the tougher limitations on signing players under 18 from outside the UK post-Brexit,

Scottish teams are legitimately researching ways to enhance their position and ensure the future of Scottish football.

The Premier League’s finances provide clubs a significant advantage over those in Scotland on an already unequal playing field.
