Based on the information provided by Rangers Youth Updates, he appears to have played the full 90 minutes.
It suggests that his future is still some way from being resolved. Had McCann not left for the Tigers, Middleton would likely be midway through pre-season prep with Doncaster.
Instead, he continues to float around outside of Gerrard’s plans. Let’s hope his future is resolved as soon as possible and he secures a move to England that will offer him senior game time and ultimately, aid his development.
