BBC pundit Kenny Miller blown away by Rangers attacker Alex Lowry
Kenny Miller waxed lyrical over Rangers attacking midfielder Alex Lowry for his performance against Annan Athletic on Saturday.
The 18-year-old came off the bench as Gers raced to a 3-0 victory in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup.
His displays certainly caught the eye of former goalkeeper Miller, who praised him on BBC Sportsound.
He said, “We knew it was pretty much over as a contest when the second goal went in.
“It has allowed Rangers to give more game time to some more players and Alex Lowry has shown some excellent touches.”
Good game
Cup ties are great for youngsters to get some experience playing at a higher level.
Lowry has mainly played UEFA Youth League and other junior competitions this season.
To play for the first team would have been a sensational experience for him and he delivered whatever the manager would have wanted from him.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst does promote youth when given the chance and the teenager could be a first-team regular in the near future.
Progression into the next round will give Gers more opportunities to play him and he will certainly take all the chances he gets.
There’s a good chance that Lowry is given more senior appearances in the league this season as he’s starting to prove he may be ready for taking the step up.
A good evening’s work for Gers and a start for Aaron Ramsey were some of the other positives from the game.
In other Rangers news, the club could have signed a ‘Combative’ centre mid whose father was an Ibrox icon.
