Kennedy has confidence in fellow kids for Caley clash
RANGERS have got their teeth into the Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer Cup this term. Now it could give them the sweet taste of success as Graeme Murty’s side bid for a final berth.
The Colts have seen off the likes of Ballymena United and Wrexham on the road to the last four and Championship promotion hopefuls Inverness Caley Thistle await on Sunday.
The addition of Under-20s sides to the competition has long been the source of debate but Ibrox kid Kai Kennedy reckons the results speak for themselves when it comes to the benefits for Rangers.
“It has been a great experience for us in the Challenge Cup and we have done well to win some of the games like Stranraer away and Solihull away,” he said. “It has been great for us and this game coming up is another one.
“We just need to believe and we do. The confidence we have got in the changing room and with the staff we have got, we believe that we can go and do it.
“Playing against the English clubs and some of the sides we have faced this season has really helped us a lot.
“We don’t worry about the physical side of the game, we know if we play our own game then we can win.
“You can see that the Academy is growing every year and that is shown by the results that we are getting. It is great to get this far and we want to go all the way now.
“It would be a great achievement if we could get to the final and knocking out Inverness would be a big result for the Academy. Come Sunday, I think we can go up there and do what we have been doing all season and get a result.”
