Rangers might’ve offloaded Daniel Candeias and Eros Grezda this week, but their departures could yet hand a chance to young Josh McPake.
Rangers fans may be expecting the reported £2m the club raked in on transfer fees for the duo to be reinvested into the club’s playing squad.
But if there isn’t much available on the market, could Steven Gerrard put his trust in the exciting Rangers talent?
Josh McPake is very highly rated by Rangers and despite being only 17 made his professional debut against St. Joseph’s at Ibrox last week.
The youngster is the club’s Academy Player of the Year and Steven Gerrard is known to be a big fan of the player.
Part of McPake’s decision to ignore
reported interest from Liverpool and AS Roma [Daily Record] to sign a three-year deal at Ibrox will have been with a view to being introduced to the club’s first-team.

For Steven Gerrard, the lack of depth on the right-wing could well prove to be a good opportunity to develop McPake over the course of the season.
A direct, tricky talent who’ll get fans off their seat, McPake is clearly considered a big part of the future at Ibrox.
But with two spaces recently opened up in the squad this transfer window, there’s every chance he could be a part of Rangers’ present too.
