The Rangers youngsters continue to shine on the European stage, with Nathan Young-Coombes at the double in the U19s 2-1 win away to Slovan Bratislava.

Graeme Murty’s young Bears will now progress to the next round of the UEFA Youth League after beating the Slovakians in Rangers’ first-ever appearance at the tournament.

The result in Slovakia follows on from a 2-0 win at Firhill a fortnight ago, meaning Rangers won the tie 4-1 on aggregate.

It’s an impressive result for the young side and follows on from the club defeating Swiss outfit Young Boys on away goals after two high scoring matches in the first round.

The first leg in Switzerland ended 3-3 before a 2-2 draw in Glasgow saw the club through.

Rangers appear to be growing in confidence game by game and there’s real hope that Graeme Murty’s side can leave a lasting impression on the European stage.

Young-Coombes now has four goals in as many games in the competition and his performances are starting to catch the eye of the Gers fans.
