Rangers teenager trains ahead of Olympiacos

Paul Nsio is yet to make his first-team debut for Rangers, let alone his Europa League debut for the club.

The 18-year-old midfielder has been at Ibrox for two years and is slowly beginning to turn heads in the club’s academy.

Rangers manager Philippe Clement recently saw Paul Nsio put in an inspired display in the middle of the pitch for the club’s B team.

Taking a starring role in the club’s 4-1 win over Stenhousemuir in the SPFL Trust Trophy, Clement was in the crowd taking in the club’s second string side.

This was after Paul Nsio trained with the Rangers first-team at the club’s summer training camp in the Netherlands.

Now, the youngster has been spotted in Rangers training ahead of the Europa League trip to Greece to face Olympiacos and Nsio will hope to make his debut for the Gers in the game.

Paul Nsio insists ‘anything can happen’ at Rangers

Speaking after that starring role in the 4-1 win over Stenhousemuir, Paul Nsio insists that ‘anything can happen’ with regards a Rangers breakthrough.

The talented London-born midfielder is just focused on making an impression on Philippe Clement and co, who have pledged to give youth a chance in Glasgow.

Reflecting on his performance, Nsio insists he just focused on showing the Rangers management team ‘what he’s capable of’.

“Every time I have space around me I just like to do my own thing and yeah man, it’s just what I done,” said Nsio.

“So I’m happy we happy won. Obviously credit to Finlay (Curtis) for the two goals and Danilo.

“Their number six was huge and obviously I had Curtis next to me, obviously he’s a bit smaller, so I had to dominate around the ball.

“Every time he had it I had to physically get him off. I am happy about my physical side, I need to work on it a little bit but yeah, delighted about it.

“Anything can happen. When they’re watching you just got to the best on the pitch and show them what you’re capable of.

“Maybe in the next couple of months you might get a chance, so I’m pleased.”
