Gio van Bronckhorst insists Leon King showed why he is so highly rated at Rangers after being called upon at St Mirren.
The academy kid was handed just his fifth top-team appearance as he got the nod ahead of Leon Balogun to replace injured Filip Helander in the 4-0 rout.
Van Bronckhorst was able to give some of his fringe men some significant game time, with Steven Davis, Scott Wright, James Sands and Amad Diallo also enjoying their first notable run outs in weeks.
