‘Disgraceful’: Some fans are incensed by Rangers-owned player

The Ibrox manager Steven Gerrard has allowed the Rangers academy product to leave until January.

The loaned-out Rangers striker Zak Rudden was trending on Twitter overnight.

Rudden, who is due to spend the first half of the season away from Rangers, scored his first league goal of his Plymouth Argyle loan spell on Tuesday.

He was also heavily involved in another of the Devon side’s four strikes without reply against Leyton Orient, earning himself a WhoScored.com man of the match award.

But the circumstances which led to that goal, which was scored by Joel Grant after Dean Brill had saved Rudden’s attempted slam-dunk, have incensed those of an Orient persuasion.

This is what they are saying about the incident involving the Rangers academy product…

Rudden has yet to appear for Rangers’ first team, but could earn a place in Steven Gerrard’s plans if he impresses at Plymouth.

The 19-year-old scored 12 goals in 31 games for Falkirk last season and will be encouraged by the permanent departures of strikers Ryan Hardie, Andrew Dallas and Kyle Lafferty from Rangers in the summer transfer window.
