Rangers youngster Andy Dallas has hopes of starring for Steven Gerrard’s side at Ibrox.

Glasgow Rangers are currently attempting to bring back former hero Kyle Lafferty.

If unsuccessful, Rangers will have to look to within to try and find a third striker option to compete with Alfredo Morelos and Umar Sadiq.

Their best option could turn out to be 19-year-old forward Andy Dallas, who was on target for Rangers’ reserves this week.

Dallas netted twice in a 2-1 victory for Graeme Murty’s side this week against Queen of the South.

The teenager’s season is only just getting started, but he could not have hoped to kick it off in a more clinical fashion.

Dallas had a brief loan spell with Stenhousemuir at the end of last season, scoring two first team goals.

With fellow young prospect Ryan Hardie out on loan at Livingston, Dallas is next in line at Rangers behind Morelos and Sadiq.

He is showing promise, and the opportunity is there for him to step up, should Rangers’ move for Hearts striker Kyle Lafferty fall through.

Right at this moment it may be too soon for the teenager, but if he continues his bright start to the season and goes on a run of scoring in multiple back to back games, Steven Gerrard may find it tough to ignore him.
