Rangers youngster Zak Rudden opened his league account for Plymouth Argyle last night, but it was his involvement in the run-up to the opening goal which grabbed the headlines.

The talented Rangers Academy youngster is currently on-loan at League Two Argyle and got the second goal as Plymouth ran out 4-0 winners.

But in the run-up to the opener, Rudden appeared to full-blown Maradona hand of god it on the near goal line before it was lashed in by Joel Grant.

Still reeling from the situation, Leyton Orient struggled to regain their composure and Rudden would double Plymouth Argyle’s lead three minutes later.

In fact, the decision seemed to impact Orient’s entire half with the Plymouth Argyle entering the changing room at half-time with a 4-0 advantage.

Rudden appears to have finally announced himself as a Plymouth player now with his strike being his first in nine games for the club.

Both Rangers and Plymouth fans will be hoping the 19-year-old can now kick on and really make an impact down south.

Fans of both clubs took to Twitter to discuss the incident and praise Rudden’s individual performance.
