Alex Lowry sends message after making Rangers debut
Alex Lowry has sent a message on Twitter after making his Rangers debut against Stirling Albion in the Scottish Cup fourth round.
The Gers won 4-0 against Stirling on Friday (21 January) where the youngster scored on his debut.
James Tavernier, Cedric Itten and Fashion Sakala scored the other three goals for the Scottish champions.
The 18-year-old came on as an early substitute for the injured Ianis Hagi, and soon found the net.
He wrote on Twitter: “Dream come true”.
Easy win
It was a comfortable victory for the home side and there were plenty of positives.
James Tavernier scored the second goal from a penalty to give the Gers a 2-0 lead at the break.
The Gers skipper could have added another but Blair Currie saved another effort from the spot.
Itten, who returned to Ibrox from his loan spell, scored his first Rangers goal since February while Sakala added a late fourth goal.
However, the focus obviously shifts to Lowry who was brilliant since he came on.
He exchanged passes with Juninho Bacuna and side-footed past Currie.
The youngster revealed after the match (21 January) he was living his dream on the pitch. He joined the club at the age of 10, and getting a goal for the senior side on his debut meant something special for him.
Rangers attempted 26 shots of which they managed to keep 15 on target during the game, according to BBC Sport.
