Rangers Reserves took a big step towards the SPFL Reserve League title on Monday with a 2-0 win over Celtic.
It’s the latest in a string of impressive performances from the Gers at development level.
Just as in the comeback win over Hibernian last week, Glenn Middleton stole the show with a brace.
However, it looks like Rangers have a star of the future in midfield, too.
One man, in particular, deserves praise for recent success, though.
Graeme Murty.
The 44-year-old enjoyed a short stint in charge of the first team at Ibrox last season, during difficult circumstances.
His reign wasn’t disastrous, but he looked a little out of his depth at times in such a high-pressure position.
Since dropping down into his current role, though, he could scarcely be doing a better job.
Coaching the Reserves and other age-group teams is a difficult task as player availability is constantly changing based on the demands of the first team.

Despite irregular fixtures and the wide-ranging group of players at his disposal, it appears that Murty has still managed to instill a togetherness and winning mentality.
He’s the man tasked with moulding the club’s future stars, and results on the pitch suggest he’s doing a fine job of it.
When Murty’s post-match interview with RangersTV was shared by the club’s Twitter account, some Bears showed their appreciation under the post.
