Glasgow Rangers have a thriving academy.
Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has shown an impressive willingness to give young players opportunities at Ibrox.
Glenn Middleton is a first team regular after making the breakthrough, and Serge Atakayi finally cracked the first team before getting injured.
Rangers’ academy is thriving under Graeme Murty and there are more top talents in the system.
Here are three who could follow Middleton, Atakayi and co into the Rangers’ first team in 2019.
Dapo Mebude
17-year-old Mebude is making a big name for himself in Rangers’ academy.
He is a prolific young striker who has been seen training with the first team in recent weeks.
Mebude has scored regularly for the under-20s this season and signed a new contract earlier this month.
Josh McPake
Winger Josh McPake was recently singled out by Graeme Murty for his performances, which included a brace in a youth game against Rapid Vienna.
McPake was hailed for his ‘elite’ level of technique and he could be even better than Glenn Middleton.
Still only 17-years-old, McPake is a seriously exciting prospect who could push for the first team next season.
Jordan Houston
Scotland youth international Jordan Houston could end up succeeding James Tavernier at right-back.
The defender loves to get forward and attack and has made an impact with his assists for the under-20s.
He signed a new contract at Rangers in the summer and last month said he could push for a loan move to gain experience.
