Rangers gem Mikey Moore could do something not seen in Scottish football in two decades vs Hibernian
Mikey Moore is on the verge of creating history in the Scottish Premiership after his recent performances for Rangers.
The Tottenham loanee returned from injury during Rangers’ 3-0 win over Kilmarnock last Saturday, scoring one and having another disallowed in an impressive 15-minute cameo from the bench.
Moore has a disappointing start to the season under Russell Martin, with question marks around whether his time with the Glasgow outfit would be cut short.
Since the appointment of Danny Rohl, though, the young winger has looked far more comfortable and now has the chance to break a 20-year record.
Mikey Moore on verge of Scottish goalscoring record
Before his return against Kilmarnock, Moore missed four matches with a muscular injury, halting his good progress under Rohl.
In the final Gers game before his spell on the sideline, the 18-year-old grabbed his first Scottish Premiership goal of the season, as Rangers beat Dundee 3-0.
It means that Moore has scored in both of his last two appearances in the Scottish Premiership, which puts him on the brink of history.
The last time a player aged 18 or younger scored in three successive Scottish top-flight appearances was back in 2006, when Anthony Stokes scored in four games in a row for Falkirk.
If Moore finds the back of the net in Rangers’ clash with Hibernian on Monday evening, then he will become the first player to complete the feat in almost two decades.
Mikey Moore set to be given golden opportunity by Danny Rohl
Moore has made two substitute appearances since his return from injury, coming off the bench to score against Kilmarnock, before being given 32 minutes in the Europa League defeat to Ferencvaros.
With Rangers now all but out of the European competition, all focus turns to their domestic performances, where they will be looking to keep themselves in the title race.
Rohl will surely start Moore against Hibernian, given his recent form, allowing the young winger a proper opportunity to make an impact on proceedings.
The German boss will be hoping the Tottenham loanee can continue his goalscoring exploits and fire Rangers to another victory in the Scottish Premiership.
