Partick Thistle manager Ian McCall believes Rangers loanee Cole McKinnon has a realistic chance of forging a high-level career in the game.
Alongside fellow Ibrox youngster Tony Weston, the teenage midfielder joined the Championship club on a season-long loan deal last week. He was thrust straight into Premier Sports Cup action against Kilmarnock and is in line for his competitive Firhill debut tonight when Thistle host Highland League club Fraserburgh. McKinnon made his debut and scored in the same game for Rangers in last season's final Premiership match at Hearts.
He is highly thought-of in the Auchenhowie academy and follows a trend of youngsters under both former boss Steven Gerrard and current Light Blues manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst in heading to Maryrhill for experience. Lewis Mayo was a top Jags performer on loan from Rangers last season and it's earned him a loan move to newly-promoted top flight club Kilmarnock.
