The title challenge in the Scottish Premiership is at its peak seeing the new year knocking on the door. The Rangers are trying to take the crown out of Celtics hands who have been on top in the past seven years. And it looks even more real now after the team won the derby 1-0 and tied with their rivals on top of the table.
The new manager Steven Gerrard turned out to be the right person on charge and helped Rangers dream for the title again.
And thats not his only achievement so far. He discovered the youngster Glenn Middleton. He is a promising young winger with great flair in front of the goal and managed to help the team on a few occasions since the start of the season. It looks like Gerrard has a special plan for the youngster as he is trying to pick suitable games for him and give him some playing time.
Middleton has already scored five goals and assisted five times in three different competitions this season. And he just turned 19.
But what is his future and what makes him so important for the team?
Who is he?
The youngster was released by Norwich but then got the chance to join the Rangers and this was a crucial step for his career. He is a Scotland Under-21 international and suits perfectly to The Light Blues style of play. He is helping on the wing and his teammates often spread out wide to him in hope for his crossing abilities to show off.
His most common position is on the left wing as he sometimes needs to go deeper or drop back to provide better support to his teammates. His link-up play abilities are often used as the tool to connect the midfield and the central-attack.
The youngster is extreme
