Rangers loan manager, Billy Kirkwood, has been speaking to RangersTV, as quoted by the Daily Record.
The Gers currently have a host of players away gaining experience and getting game time across the UK.

However, Kirkwood reserved the most praise for a teenager.
Zak Rudden.
The 19-year-old forward joined Falkirk on at the end of August, in a deal that was supposed to expire in January.

However, he was having such a good time of it, that the loan was extended until the end of the season.
He has scored nine times for the Bairns so far, in the second tier.

“Zak has come through the system and this is where we have to be really brave as a club, as coaches, as a department, to say ‘Right this lad can go out on loan”, Kirkwood told RangersTV as quoted by the Record.
“Zak’s finding a lot about himself while he’s out there. The psychological side, the physical side…all these things.”

“We get his clips. Yes, there’s things he can develop, but I’ve got to say the lad gets 10/10 the way he’s handled it.”
High praise indeed for Rudden.
There’s a lot of work to be done between now and the end of the campaign though.
The Bairns are just one point off bottom in the league, and need Rudden’s goals if they are to stay up.
