There aren’t many things more exciting for a football fan than to see a young player from their team make it at their boyhood club, and that’s certainly true of Rangers supporters.
We love it when one of our own is given a chance in the first team, and if a recent comment from Steven Gerrard is anything to go by, we may get to see exactly that over the coming weeks.
SG: I think young Dapo has a huge future, he has big potential, he is probably not ready to be thrown into the deep end just yet but I think he will be ready for a cameo. There is no doubt about it he will play for Rangers at some point.

Of course, Mebude is only 17-years-old, and so it’s rare that a player of his age gets even close to the first team of a major side. So, it’s important for us to curtail our expectations somewhat, but this comment from Gerrard is still exciting.
Clearly, the forward is in his thoughts, and given our current issues going forward, he could really be an option for us over the coming weeks and months.
Any minutes on the field could be a huge help for him in his development, and so maybe we’ll see a bit of him sooner, rather than later.
Thoughts?
