Ibrox side Rangers boss Steven Gerrard decided to sell Ryan Hardie to Blackpool in the summer.
Blackpool fans have praised Ryan Hardie, after he scored his first goal for them following a move from Glasgow Rangers in the summer.
Steven Gerrard decided to let Hardie leave Ibrox on a permanent deal over the summer, after the winger had previously been sent on a series of loan spells away from Rangers.
Hardie came through Rangers youth academy but never quite made the grade for the Light Blues.
But the 22-year-old has made a bright start since moving away from Glasgow and to Blackpool.
In just his second start, Hardie got on the scoresheet for Blackpool in the EFL Trophy last night, as the Tangerines picked up a 5-1 win over Morcambe.
And Blackpool fans were very complimentary towards the former Rangers wide-man.
Cracking game for you Ryan! Good to get on the scoresheet

Rowleys- Very Pricey
Mafoumbi- wall
MacDonald and Feeney- ballers
Heneghan- missed u
Guy and Virtue- Can pass a ball.
Scannell- kaikai 2.0
Hardie and Nuttall- potential a plenty
Sidenote-
Ellison- Shiniest head in the EFL #UTMP
Liked Hardie. Think he's ready to start or come on early 2nd half to make an impact. Nuttall will only get better. Still unbeaten. #UTMP

While with Rangers, Hardie scored just twice in 18 appearances, so the youngster will be delighted to get off the mark so quickly for his new employers.
Hardie could be in action again for Blackpool at the weekend, when they take on Coventry City in League One action.
