Stephen Kelly of Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers scored a worldie this weekend.
Rangers-owned Stephen Kelly is being praised by fans of his loan club on Twitter.
The Auchenhowie gem scored a blinder for Ayr United in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Queen of the South.
Kelly, a midfielder, volleyed a dropping ball past Rangers team-mate Robby McCrorie to give Ian McCall’s Championship side all three points yesterday.
It was the 19-year-old’s first league goal since joining the second-tier side on a season-long loan in July.
And here’s how United fans reacted to the goal:
Gerrard is reportedly a ‘huge fan’ [The Scottish Sun] of Kelly and his loan manager, McCall, is too.
The Ayr boss said afterwards that the teenager is simply ‘magic’ to watch and that he ‘loves him to death’ [AU Media on YouTube].
McCall shouldn’t get too attached because, long term, he’ll be back at Rangers. Gerrard has a stupid amount of unbelievable midfielders on the books at Ibrox right now, meaning that young Kelly wouldn’t have had a chance of competing for senior football.
But the future really is so very bright and surely he won’t be at Somerset Park beyond the end of this loan.
