Glasgow Rangers have received a boost with the news that one of their brightest youngsters has signed a new contract at Ibrox.
Dapo Mebude has taken to Twitter to express his delight at signing a new contract at Rangers, while a large number of the Ibrox faithful have responded to congratulate the exciting youngster.
Mebude is arguably one of the most talented prospects coming through amongst an academy side that continue to catch the eye under Graeme Murty. The youngsters produced a stunning comeback to win 4-2 against Rapid Vienna on Thursday.
It appears to be a matter of time before Steven Gerrard is considering Mebude for a chance in the first-team. He is surely already on the radar having joined the first-team in training, and it would not surprise many Rangers supporters if his opportunity was just around the corner.
