Glasgow Rangers’ development side won 6-0, and that has led some of the Ibrox faithful to ask for Glenn Middleton to get his first-team chance.
Rangers fans have taken to Twitter to respond to Glenn Middleton’s tweet after the Gers’ development side thrashed Leicester City 6-0 on Tuesday, with many expressing their hope that he will soon by plying his trade in the first-team – perhaps as soon as Sunday.

Zak Rudden may have stolen most of the headlines by bagging a hat-trick against the Premier League side, but Middleton also got on the scoresheet and set up a handful of goals for his teammates.
