WITH the Rangers captain ahead of him at right-back, and a World Cup semi-finalist one of those ahead of him on the other side of the pitch, Adam Devine has had to be patient as he waited for a chance to impress.
But the fact that Borna Barisic is indeed still away with Croatia in Qatar might just have opened the door for Devine for Thursday’s game against Hibernian, and after an impressive showing at left-back in the 3-0 friendly win over Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday, he isn’t the only one who will feel he is ready to seize that opportunity.
Devine is primarily a right-back, but the 19-year-old is more than willing to play anywhere to get a taste of competitive first-team action, and has vowed not to let Michael Beale down if the new Rangers manager places his faith in him once again later this week.
