Glasgow Rangers loanee Ryan Hardie scored impressive brace.
Former Rangers striker Ally McCoist called on Gers loanee Ryan Hardie to start proving himself.
The young forward delivered, scoring a brace last night as Livingston beat Hearts 5-0.
Hardie is on loan from Rangers and McCoist urged the striker to start making a case to Ibrox boss Steven Gerrard.
McCoist handed Hardie his debut at Rangers as a 17-year-old in 2014, but he has struggled to break through since.
Speaking to BT Sport’s pre-game coverage, McCoist said: “Now is the time in career he has establish himself.
“He’s been on loans, now is the time for Ryan to make the centre forward position his own. He has to score goals, he’s capable of it.”
Hardie, 21, issued the perfect response to McCoist’s comments.
He has missed nearly all of this season with a knee injury, playing just 107 minutes of league action for Livingston before last night.
Hardie scored earlier this month against St Mirren and now has three goals to his name in four games.
The striker is on loan at Livingston until the end of the season.
Right now Rangers could do with him based on last night’s performance, with the club cancelling Umar Sadiq’s loan deal and now in the market for a replacement.
