Rangers loanee Joe Dodoo plays starring role in Cup upset

Rangers attacker Joe Dodoo starred in a cup upset. Steven Gerrard take note.

Joe Dodoo of Rangers arrives at the stadium prior to the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership match between Celtic and Rangers at Celtic Park on March 12, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Glasgow Rangers attacker Joe Dodoo is out on loan and will not get a chance to feature in tonight’s Scottish League Cup quarter-final at Ibrox.

He instead has been busy helping his loan side on their way to a very unlikely shot at silverware.

Dodoo helped Blackpool to a surprise win over QPR last night to spring an upset in the English League Cup.

The Rangers attacker helped his League One side to a 2-0 win over Steve McClaren’s men.

Dodoo provided an assist in the victory, setting up Jay Spearing for a game sealing second goal.

Rangers signed Dodoo from Leicester City in 2016 and hoped he would be a big player for them.

It hasn’t quite worked out, and this is his second loan spell away from Ibrox.

The 23-year-old has been in and out of the Blackpool side this season, making five league appearances out of a possible nine, and scoring one goal.

His role in the victory last night will certainly help him out.
