Adam Devine has told Michael Beale he is ready to be called upon as Rangers return to competitive action against Hibs on Thursday night.
The youngster was thrown in at left-back against Bayer Leverkusen at Ibrox in the final friendly encounter before the real action gets back up and running and he did his chances no harm. Ridvan Yilmaz was injured pre-World Cup with no timeline given on a return while Borna Barisic is still at the finals with Croatia. Both could miss the visit of Lee Johnson's men with the 19-year-old ready to step up.
He said: “I enjoyed that, it was excellent. I’m grateful to the manager for picking me for the starting XI and I really enjoyed getting those minutes under my belt. I just play where the manager wants me to play. I did a job there at left-back on Saturday but hopefully I can stamp my authority and keep playing. To play regularly for this team you have to be adaptable. All the full-backs at the club are great players and with Tav being captain, it can be hard to get past him.
