A host of Rangers Academy players have been on Scotland duty over the last few days.
Five young Gers started for the U19s in a win over Turkey, while Kai Kennedy and Ciaran Dickson featured for the U17s in a defeat to Portugal.
On Friday afternoon, Ross McCrorie flew the flag for the U21s.
The uncompromising midfielder has been starved of first-team minutes recently. That’s despite Gerrard’s side having an outstanding domestic record when he features.
However, there’s no doubting who’s the main man at youth international standard.
McCrorie has been a feature of the U21 setup since 2016, accumulating over 10 caps at that level.
He’s now the designated captain, leading the side for two friendlies in Marbella.

Sweden lie in wait on Monday, but this afternoon attentions were fixed on Mexico.
McCrorie said himself in the build-up to the game, via
the Daily Record, that this would be a huge test against a bigger nation and it proved so.
He picked up a first-half booking but made it through the 90 minutes. The skipper also went close in the second period with a volley which found the side netting.
Celtic’s Mikey Johnston had a chance to win it from the spot in the closing moments, but he saw his shot saved by opposition keeper Sebastian Jurado.
