Myles Beerman has told Rangers’ official website that it would be “class” to play at Hampden Park again after his first taste of an Old Firm derby.

The 18-year-old started the Gers 2-0 defeat by Celtic in the semi-final of the Scottish Cup at the national stadium back in April.

The young full-back enjoyed a strong end to the 2016-17 campaign with Rangers under manager Pedro Caixinha and has since won a call-up for Malta.

As it happens, his country are competing with Scotland in Group F in World Cup qualifying, and both nations square off at Hampden on September 4.

And Beerman tells Rangers’ website that he would love the chance to play there again after an Old Firm clash whet his appetite for the big stage.

“I’ll always be focussed to try and get in the squad and to try and get in the starting XI. I will keep on working hard, prove what I can do, but at the end of the day it’s the gaffer’s decision,” he said regarding his first-team prospects with Malta.

“It would be class playing again at Hampden. For me, as an individual experience the Celtic game was really good. It’s a brilliant stadium to play in.”

Fans of the Ibrox club will be hoping to see more of Beerman next season after emerging as a real talent in Glasgow.

An injury to regular left-back Lee Wallace opened the door for the teenager to stake his claim and he did not look out of place in the seven games he started toward the end of the campaign.
