Rangers coach Michael Beale has praised Chelsea-owned Derby County midfielder Mason Mount on Twitter.

Beale, who worked as coach at Chelsea and Liverpool before taking up his current role at Rangers, was impressed with Mount’s performance against Bolton Wanderers at the Pride Park Stadium in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.

The 20-year-old midfielder – who joined the Rams on a season-long loan deal from Premier League club Chelsea in the summer of 2018 – scored a hat-trick in Frank Lampard’s side’s 4-0 win against Bolton.

Rangers coach Beale has hailed the England Under-21 international – who has scored eight goals and provided three assists in 30 Championship appearances for Derby so far this season, according to WhoScored.

The win against Bolton means that Derby are eighth in the Championship table at the moment with 63 points from 41 matches.
