Rotherham manager reacts as Rangers' Jake Hastie scores yet again

Rangers fans are seen during the Scottish Cup Quarter final match between Rangers and Hamilton Academical at Ibrox Stadium on March 4, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Jake Hastie has scored three times already since joining League One Rotherham United from Scottish Premiership outfit Rangers.

Jake Hastie scored his second goal for Rotherham United during Tuesday’s 1-1 draw at Sunderland with Paul Warne describing the Rangers loanee as a ‘threat all night’ in quotes reported on the Millers’ official website.

An explosive winger who was handed his big break by Rangers after catapulting himself into the limelight at Motherwell since the turn of year, Hastie was sent out to Rotherham earlier this month to give him access to regular first-team football.

 

The Gers will be thrilled by the impact Hastie has made at the New York Stadium. The 20-year-old has scored in all three of his games for Rotherham so far, including a clinical left-footed finish hammered into the roof of the net at the Stadium of Light in midweek.

"Jake has hit the ground running,” Warne said.

“He has not played a full 90 minutes since April. He took his goal well. He was a threat all night and he got the full-back booked early on.”

Sunderland’s defence simply couldn’t handle a player who appears to have the world at his feet right now.

And if Hastie maintains this outstanding start to life in South Yorkshire, he should return to Ibrox with his confident through the roof and his reputation sky high. He could prove to be one of the most inspired free agent signings in recent Scottish football history.
