Glasgow, a 16-year-old midfielder, has made an immediate impression during his loan spell at Alloa Athletic after signing a senior contract with Rangers.

    The youngster is regarded as one of the most exciting prospects currently developing within the Ibrox academy setup.

    Rangers arranged the loan move to Alloa Athletic to give Glasgow vital exposure to senior professional football at a competitive level.

    Glasgow was handed a start by Alloa manager Andy Graham in a Scottish League Cup clash against Falkirk, repaying that faith in style.

    The teenager got on the scoresheet in the 64th minute, netting what proved to be his first ever goal in professional football.

    He received the ball on the edge of the opposition’s penalty area before firing a composed left-footed long-range effort past goalkeeper Nicky Hogarth.

    The strike brought Alloa level at 1-1, and Graham’s side went on to win the resulting penalty shootout 4-2 to advance in the competition.

    Glasgow had been a prominent figure for Rangers Under-17s and Under-19s last season, netting over 20 times as both sides lifted their respective league titles.

    The 16-year-old has earned international recognition at youth level, having been capped by both Portugal and Scotland, reflecting the genuine interest in his development.

    Glasgow joins fellow Rangers loanee Max Cameron at Alloa this season, with the club one of two co-operation partners Rangers use alongside Queen’s Park.

    Those co-operation agreements are designed to fast-track promising young talent into senior football more smoothly than the traditional loan pathway allows.

    The striker will be hoping to follow the path of Findlay Curtis in forcing his way into first-team contention at Ibrox in the coming seasons.

    His first professional goal has certainly put Rangers manager Derek McInnes on notice that Glasgow is ready to make his mark on the game.
