Rangers hit kid has 'bags of talent' but has a long way to go, says former Ibrox coach

Former Rangers youth coach Ricky Waddell says hot-shot Alex Lowry has a long way to go before making the step-up to the first team, but took his chance last night.

The Uddingston 18-year-old made his debut as he climbed off the bench as an early sub for Ianis Hagi, and scored the opening goal in a 4-0 win over League Two side Stirling Albion.

Waddell was working part-time as a coach in the Rangers Academy, but left for Braves [then Edusport] in 2019. While at Ibrox, he oversaw young talent including Nathan Patterson and Billy Gilmour - both of whom are now playing in the English Premier League - and only had midfielder Lowry for a couple of sessions.
