Rangers fans on Twitter are imploring Dapo Mebude to sign a new contract at Ibrox.

The 17-year-old’s existing deal expires next summer.

The teenage striker was in great form on Monday, scoring one and setting up another two as Rangers’ youth side thumped Kilmarnock 5-0.

Mebude seems to be making quite a name for himself, and was included by Steven Gerrard in the Gers’ squad which travelled to Spartak Moscow for their Europa League defeat last month.

He reacted to yesterday’s win on Twitter, before fans of the Scottish club bombarded him with messages about extending his contract.

Between him and Andrew Dallas, Rangers have two brilliant young strikers coming through.

Dallas scored a hat-trick in yesterday’s win, having boasted a record of 14 goals in 13 games earlier in the campaign.

Gerrard will need a new hitman in January amid suggestions that Umar Sadiq’s loan could be terminated, and you wonder if Mebude or Dallas should be given chances in the first team before Rangers sign someone.
