Gemmill enthused by 'great' new opportunities for young talentpublished at 15:21 26 August

Scotland Under-21 head coach Scot Gemmill says new club cooperation agreements have been "great" and will have a "big effect" on the opportunities available for young players to develop.
Under the Scottish FA initiative, which came into effect this summer, clubs can have partners in each division which allow Scottish under-21 players to move freely between parent and loan clubs.
Gemmill, whose side open their latest European qualifying campaign against Czechia and Portugal next month, said: "We speak about it a lot, how crucial it is for the players to get an opportunity.
"We all realise how difficult it is and it's credit to the players that they've put themselves in that position where the manager trusts them to play in these big games.
"The Scottish FA have done great work changing the rules on the cooperation agreement. I think that's going to have a big effect and more and more young players are going to get an opportunity."
Gemmill has also been able to call up 18-year-old Rangers and Celtic players following first-team breakthroughs.
Ibrox winger Findlay Curtis has scored three goals in six appearances this season, and Celtic right-back Colby Donovan is set to add to his two Under-21 caps after making his first-team debut during Saturday's win over Livingston.
"Obviously the two examples you're referencing are very high profile at the top level but it will be happening at all levels due to the cooperation agreement," Gemmill added.
