Rangers youngster Dapo Mebude scored hat-trick for Graeme Murty’s under-20s.
Billy Gilmour choosing to leave Rangers in 2017 was a big blow for the club.
Gilmour is clearly destined for the top and chose to pursue a career at Chelsea instead.
One of the only positives to take from the situation was that Gilmour was not the only talented youngster in Rangers’ academy.
One of the shining lights is promising striker Dapo Mebude.
Mebude scored his first goal for Rangers’ under-20s last year at just 16, and he continues to figure for Graeme Murty’s side.
The 17-year-old netted a second half hat-trick against Motherwell yesterday in a 6-2 victory.
Gilmour spotted Mebude’s noteworthy game and sent him a message of congratulations.
.
Mebude looks like he could be destined for great things, but he is in a queue at Rangers.
Ryan Hardie, Zak Rudden, and Andy Dallas are all also bidding to crash the first team, with the first two currently out on loan.
If Mebude keeps up this sort of form, he may find his chances come sooner rather than later.
