Glasgow Rangers have high hopes for Billy Gilmour.
Forget Celtic’s Karamoko Dembele, Rangers have their own talented youngster to get very excited about.
Billy Gilmour, just 15, made his first start for the club’s under-20 side last night, following up recent substitute appearances.

Young midfielder Gilmour played a part in Rangers’ 3-0 win over Dundee.
16-year-old striker Zak Rudden scored twice, with 17-year-old Liam Burt adding another.
Commenting on Twitter after the game, Gilmour described it as a proud moment and expressed his delight with the result.
The match saw Graeme Murty’s side field a particularly young team, with an average age of just over 17.
Gilmour’s superb performances at youth level have seen interest rise in his signature, a development Rangers will want to fiercely resist.
The Mail reported last month that English sides Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal are all keen on luring him away from Ibrox.
Getting him more involved with the under-20s, one step closer to the first team, will strengthen his ties to the club and potentially help sway Gilmour into staying put.
