Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers have an exciting talent in the form of Zak Rudden.
Zak Rudden earned praise from Rangers boss Steven Gerrard on Friday night.
The 18-year-old striker added the sixth goal as Rangers kicked off the Gerrard era in style with a 6-0 friendly win over Bury at Ibrox.
Rudden, a highly-rated academy prospect, tapped home from close range within a minute of replacing Alfredo Morelos in the final quarter of last night’s drubbing.
In doing so, the teenage talent was singled out by his manager, who claimed to the Gers’ YouTube channel that he was ‘especially delighted’ for the youngster.
The compliments have been coming thick and fast on Twitter, including from team-mates past and present, as well as academy coach Peter Lovenkrands.
Jordan Thompson, who began his career with Manchester United before being released by Rangers this summer, tweeted his delight for Rudden, as did fellow academy prospect Jamie Barjonas and his coach Lovenkrands.
Early days, and scoring against Bury hardly indicates that Rudden is destined for the big time, but it is yet another sign that he could be a key player for the Ibrox outfit at some point down the line.
