Rangers supporters would love to see Glenn Middleton get more action in Steven Gerrard’s team after his impressive performance against Wigan Athletic at Ibrox on Sunday.
The youngster was a real livewire throughout the match, looking like a player that can really offer a unique threat in the final third.
He has pace, skill, confidence and perhaps most importantly, he gets supporters off their seats at Ibrox. It’s been quite a long time since we’ve seen someone do that consistently.
It may have only been a friendly, but the 3-0 win was another encouraging sign things are moving in the right direction under Gerrard.
The manager now has a big decision to make when it comes to Middleton, should he start against NK Osijek on Thursday?
It could be seen as a risk to throw the 18-year-old into a high pressure European fixture but, frankly, he has looked like one of our best players in pre-season.
These fans took to Twitter today to share their thoughts…
Glenn Middleton needs to start this season. The end product he produces is something we've no had in a good number of years.
Direct running, does defensive work well and can take a man on.
Age means fuck all. If you've got it, you've got it.

Glenn Middleton is a gem of a player. Not scared to take his man on and has bags of pace #rangers

Glenn Middleton – one of the best things to come of the Murty era. Wish he'd have got a start last season, who knows what he could've contributed? But we can't rewrite history. Happy to see what he's made of this season. Impressed so far from what I've seen.

Candeias and Middleton giving Gerrard food for thought come Thursday. Particularly Middleton doesnt seem behind Kent though I havent seen enough of the latter.
