Kyle Glasgow will surely find himself in Derek McInnes' plans at Rangers sooner rather than later.

The 16-year-old is one of the Gers' most hyped youngsters and there is hope that he can be the next homegrown superstar.

Glasgow signed a new deal with the Light Blues in February, committing his future to his boyhood club.

The gem has joined Alloa Athletic on loan to gain senior experience, which is a sign of how highly that he is rated.

Now, he has achieved a significant career milestone with the Wasps.

What has Rangers talent Kyle Glasgow done?

Glasgow scored his first goal in professional football in his third game for his new club.

He took the ball just outside the penalty box and released a low strike past the goalkeeper in the 1-1 draw with Falkirk on Tuesday.

Glasgow will be hoping to follow Findlay Curtis' route into first-team contention, but he has a long way to go to do that.

He has enhanced his chances, though, after putting Derek McInnes on notice with his fine strike.

He will have to continue to impress on loan at the Indodrill Stadium, but the signs are good so far.

Why Glasgow is benefitting from Rangers agreements

The co-operation agreements that the Gers have struck seem to be working the way they were intended to.

They have agreements with Alloa and Queen's Park, which allows them to loan promising talents to the clubs, much more easily than the traditional way of doing things.

It gives their youngsters, like Glasgow, the chance to thrive in the professional game, without the pressure and expectations of the Ibrox crowd.

It can only be a positive thing, as it means they should come back to G51 with more confidence and a better understanding of the rigours of the game.

Some players, like Curtis, may not need it, but others take longer to develop and it will benefit the Bears to be able to send them into the Scottish Football League to gain experience.

Glasgow is evidence that it is working the way that it is supposed to.
