Rangers youngster Ross McCrorie has told Rangers TV that he is a bit like Tottenham Hotspur star Eric Dier.

McCrorie, who has been at Rangers since 2012 and can operate as a defender or as a midfielder, believes that he is similar to Tottenham ace Dier in terms of positions.

The 24-year-old England international, who is valued at €90.5 million (£80.77m) by the CIES Football Observatory, can also play as a defender or as a midfielder.

“I think I’m a wee bit like Eric Dier,” McCrorie told Rangers TV when asked which player he would compare himself to. “I’m quite similar with positions and that. So probably him.”

Promising talent

McCrorie is only 20 year of age, but the Scotland Under-21 international has already shown what he is capable of.

The Scottish talent has done well for Rangers so far the season, and playing under manager Steven Gerrard, the youngster can only get better in the coming months and years.

As for Dier, the Tottenham star is one of the best players in the Premier League, and the 24-year-old will be important for Spurs in their quest to win the league title and progress to the knockout rounds of the Champions League this season.
