Some Rangers fans are urging Steven Gerrard to use Dapo Mebude after he recalled the young Ibrox forward from international duty.

Mebude has been with Scotland’s Under-19s this week, but was summoned back to Rangers amid a potential striker crisis.

The Gers are without top scorer, Alfredo Morelos, through suspension, and have stand-ins Jermain Defoe and Kyle Lafferty struggling with ‘tightness’ ahead of Saturday’s visit of St Johnstone, according to Gerrard [Scottish Sun].

Mebude trained with the seniors earlier this season, but is still awaiting his debut for the club whose academy ranks he has progressed through.

This is what those of a Rangers persuasion are saying about the prospect of an early debut for the 17-year-old talent…

Rangers recently handed Mebude a new two-and-a-half-year contract after he impressed at youth level this season.

The London-born player can play anywhere across the front line and is known for his pace and dribbling ability.

Rangers fans – what would you do with Mebude against the Saints on Saturday?
