Rangers youngster Kyle Glasgow is showcasing why he has got everything it takes to be successful in the professional game.
Glasgow signed a senior contract with Rangers before he was loaned out to Alloa Athletic for the rest of the season.
The 16-year-old midfielder is one of the top youngsters at Ibrox, and it was important to send him on loan in order to gain senior experience.
It has already proven to be the right decision, as it has not taken him long to make headlines.
Which formation should Derek McInnes use at Rangers?
Given the players he's got so far, there are a number of ways that the team can play…
Kyle Glasgow scores a stunning goal for Alloa Athletic against Falkirk
Kyle Glasgow has shown Falkirk, a Scottish Premiership side, why he is already a force to be reckoned with despite being only 16 years old.
On Tuesday, in the Scottish League Cup, the midfielder was handed a start by manager Andy Graham.
The Light Blues loanee managed to get on the scoresheet in the 64th minute, which was his first goal in professional football.
As the footage shows, he received the ball at the edge of the opposition’s penalty area and found himself in acres of space.
He controlled the ball well, took a glance at the goal, moved it to his left foot and fired home a long-range effort to beat Nicky Hogarth in the goal.
That strike kept Alloa in the game and sent it to penalties, with the score 1-1 at full-time.
Alloa ended up winning the shootout 4-2, and surely they will have Glasgow to thank.
What is the stance on Glasgow at Rangers?
The news that Glasgow had committed his future to the club back in February was welcomed very well at Ibrox.
Interim Head of Academy, David McCallum, admitted that he was pleased with the dedication the teenager had shown every day he came in to train.
The Scotsman came up the ranks at Rangers and has already represented his country at the Under-17s level.

When he signed a new deal, McCallum said: “We are delighted that Kyle has signed his first professional contract with Rangers.
“I’m sure it is a proud moment for him and his family, and it is a reward for the hard work and dedication he has shown throughout his time in the Academy.
“Kyle has earned this opportunity through his commitment every day he comes into the Rangers Training Centre, and he displays a real maturity and hunger to learn and develop as an individual.
“Today is always an important milestone in a young player’s career, but Kyle knows there is still a lot of hard work ahead of him, and he will be supported every step of the way, both on and off the pitch, by the support staff at the club.”
