Rangers have decided to loan out young starlet Josh McPake.

The 17-year-old has signed on for a season-long loan with Dundee in the Championship.

Although a huge prospect, Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has a tonne of quality wingers at his disposal and McPake wouldn’t have had a look-in this season.

But playing senior football on a regular basis, albeit at a lower level, offers him the chance to return to the Gers a stronger player next year.

And former Rangers man Kevin Thomson, involved in the academy at Auchenhowie, has sent the teenager a message on Twitter.

The Ibrox outfit signed him up to a new deal earlier in the summer and if his potential was ever questioned, you need only consider the fact that the likes of Liverpool and Roma were snooping around prior to him putting pen to paper.

This is a very exciting prospect that Rangers have on their hands and despite his age, there’s every chance that he’ll rip up the Championship.
