We’ve Seen It On Training Ground – Jon Flanagan Salutes Rangers Talent

Follow @insidefutbol




Rangers full-back Jon Flanagan has applauded Gers talent Glenn Middleton for his performances with the first team so far this season, insisting that the youngster is doing a good job.

Middleton, who was snapped up from Norwich City in January and pushed into the first team in the summer, has given a good impression of himself under Steven Gerrard so far this season.

The 18-year-old has been a revelation for the Old Firm giants and has already made 17 appearances across all competitions for Rangers while also being directly involved in nine goals.

Middleton is regarded as one of the brightest talents in Scotland and has taken well to senior football.
 

Flanagan, who arrived at Ibrox in the summer, applauded Middleton for his performances by admitting that the youngster is doing a good job at the moment.

“Yes [Middleton’s performances have been impressive]”, Flanagan told Rangers TV.

“We see him day in day out on the training pitch and we know what he is capable of.

“So it’s about him going and expressing himself on the big stage in front of 50-60,000 people at Ibrox.

“And I think he is doing a really good job with that so far.”

Middleton, who played the entirety of Rangers’ 3-0 win over Livingston on Saturday in the Scottish Premiership, could feature again on Thursday during the Europa League clash with Villarreal at Ibrox.
