Hope is beginning to emerge for injury hit Rangers midfielder Jordan Rossiter.

Fitness struggles have beset Rossiter’s career at Ibrox and restricted him to only four Rangers appearances all season.

He is finally getting some regular game time under his belt, starring for Rangers’ under-20 side.

Rossiter was at the heart of Rangers’ impressive 6-0 win against Leicester City yesterday and earned plaudits for his performance.

Coach Billy Kirkwood was impressed, telling Rangers’ official website: “I have got to say too, Jordan Rossiter completed 90 minutes, is hopefully injury-free and he put in a fantastic performance.

“The way he goes about his business is second to none and our lads react to that in a real positive manner.”

Rossiter is under contract at Rangers until 2020 and they can afford to be patient with the former Liverpool youngster.

His encouraging display for the under-20s could put him back in the thoughts of first team coach Graeme Murty.

Rangers will have to be careful not to rush him, and appear to be taking it very cautiously so far.

Rossiter’s display yesterday will have offered some hope he can stand up to getting another opportunity and come through it.
