Mikey Moore gives Kevin Muscat even more reason to take Rangers job with scenes away from Ibrox
Mikey Moore could be unleashed if Kevin Muscat is hired by Rangers.
Moore signed for Rangers on loan from Tottenham in the summer and has been viewed as a controversial figure by fans at Ibrox.
The teenager hasn’t helped himself, as Moore’s performances for Rangers were largely poor before Russell Martin was rightly sacked.
There will be fresh hope that the 18-year-old can improve moving forward as Muscat looks set to become the next Rangers boss.
Muscat seemingly has a knack for getting the best out of attacking players and will be delighted with what he has seen most recently from Moore.
Mikey Moore shows goalscoring form away from Rangers
Kris Boyd hit out at Moore against Falkirk after what was yet another frustrating performance from the winger.
There are high expectations on the teen’s shoulders, despite this being his first campaign as a regular senior footballer.
The Englishman was a bit-part player at Spurs last season and was hopeful of securing consistent minutes after a temporary switch to Ibrox.
That hasn’t been seen so far with Moore featuring across just 231 Scottish Premiership minutes so far.
On international break, the wide man has netted four goals, including a hat-trick against Belgium and a strike against Wales on Tuesday.
Muscat has clear evidence that the young attacker possesses a quality that needs to be unlocked throughout the rest of his time in Govan.
The Australian may see this as an added perk ahead of a move to the Light Blues as he seeks to get the best out of yet another attacking talent.
Moore could be transformed under Kevin Muscat
Shanghai Port have netted 63 goals in just 26 CSL games with four games remaining until the season comes to an end.
This record proves that the ex-Millwall man knows how to get the most out of his side in attacking areas.
Moore could be one man who benefits from this sort of free-flow approach after what has been a struggle so far this campaign.
| Stat (Scottish Premiership 25/26) | Mikey Moore |
| Starts | 3 |
| Minutes played | 231 |
| Expected goals | 0.13 |
| Expected assists | 0.20 |
| Dribble success (%) | 36.4 |
The 18-year-old will be hopeful of frequent minutes and starts under Muscat, aiming to perform at the top level in the Scottish Premiership.
He certainly has the ability to do that, for Moore it is now about showcasing that regularly in blue.
