Glenn Middleton has been in brilliant form for Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers of late.

Steven Gerrard has admitted to Glasgow Rangers’ official website that Glenn Middleton will need to be taken out of his side at some point, but that should not be any time soon.

Middleton has been unleashed in Rangers’ first-team of late, and the youngster is going from strength to strength.

The attacker helped Rangers to a 2-0 win over Livingston in his most recent performance at Ibrox.

And Gerrard said: “Glenn is doing fine and I just need to manage him really well now he is in the starting XI.

“There will be a time where I am going to have to protect him as well as he is still very young, but I am very pleased with Glenn.”

While it is understandable that Gerrard wants to rest Middleton, to ensure that he does not burn it, he should not be taken out of Rangers’ first-team any time soon.

Middleton is currently full of confidence, and given his tender years he is unlikely to be fatigued.

Middleton is flying right now, and while Gerrard has him in such good form, he should continue to utilise the winger.

Rangers take on Villarreal on Thursday evening in the Europa League, a team which Middleton has already proven he can damage.

And Gerrard should keep the faith in the Rangers’ academy graduate, as he is looking so dangerous right now.
