The Rangers academy product Ross McCrorie was allowed to leave Ibrox on loan by Steven Gerrard.
Some fans are raving about their on-loan Rangers defender after he helped their side to Wembley on Tuesday.
The Rangers academy product, Ross McCrorie, has endured a topsy-turvy campaign at Portsmouth, with sporadic absences and positional changes leading to a struggle for consistency.
McCrorie, who was pictured with the Rangers squad during last month’s Dubai trip, has found himself frequently criticised by the Fratton Park faithful.
But his latest display, in a dramatic 3-2 win against Exeter City in the Football League Trophy, drew a different response.
McCrorie, who was deployed at right-back for the semi-final tie, provided the assist for Cameron McGeehan’s last-gasp equaliser.
John Marquis then scored a stoppage-time winner for Portsmouth in a game that was 0-0 in the 88th minute.
McCrorie, whose brother Robby is the goalkeeper currently on loan from Rangers to Livingston, still has two years left on his Ibrox deal after this one.
The versatile Scotland Under-21 international has played 55 times for the Rangers first team.
