Mikey Moore sends Rangers message after confidence-boosting win vs Kilmarnock
Mikey Moore was impressive off the bench for Rangers on Sunday, with the youngster still attempting to find his feet since arriving on loan.
Rangers signed Moore from Tottenham in the summer, but the winger has struggled to adapt to life in the Scottish Premiership so far.
The teenager has started just three games, failing to provide a league goal or assist in his time under Russell Martin.
Moore was slammed for his performance against Hearts, after the Tottenham loanee failed to register even a single shot or accurate cross.
But on the international stage, Moore scored a hat-trick for England’s Under-19s, clearly emphasising that the ability is there, if it can be utilised.
Mikey Moore sends Rangers message after win vs Kilmarnock
Rangers beat Kilmarnock 3-1 on Sunday, marking their first Scottish Premiership win at Ibrox this season, and the first victory under new manager Danny Rohl.
The German made several changes to the side that had lost to Brann in his first game in charge, and the Gers looked much improved.
Derek Cornelius got the scoring underway, before Danilo and Youssef Chermiti added the second and third in the second half to make sure George Stanger’s equaliser would go down as a mere consolation.
Moore came on at half-time, and the youngster was impressive, leaving a certain mark on the contest in his 45 minutes.
The teenager took to social media after the game to share a blue heart with the Rangers fans, who were more than pleased with his impact.
Moore’s performance in numbers
Moore looked lively from the get-go and was keen to leave an impression on his new manager.
And he certainly would have done that. The winger created one chance, took a shot, and completed 86 per cent of his passes in his time on the pitch.
Rohl’s tactical shift meant Moore found himself in central areas after replacing Bojan Miovski, but the winger looked to fit into the role naturally.

He would have had an assist, too, combining with Nico Raskin to send the Belgium international through on goal.
The midfielder slotted home, but the offside flag was raised, and the decision was confirmed after a lengthy VAR process.
Nevertheless, Moore would have been very pleased with his impact, which could well see him play a bigger part against Hibernian on Wednesday.
