Glenn Middleton’s new Rangers deal should be major confidence boost

Rangers youngster Glenn Middleton has agreed a new contract to extend his stay at Ibrox.

The attacker signed an 18-month deal with the Light Blues back in January, but has been rewarded with a new contract following his breakthrough.

The 18-year-old’s form has seen the Scottish giants tie him up to a new longer deal that will keep him at the club until 2023.

Middleton is certainly worthy of a new contract with Rangers and he’s someone that manager Steven Gerrard can build a team around in years to come.

The dazzling left-winger has developed into a first teamer this campaign under Gerrard’s tutelage and supporters are understandably excited about his potential.

Middleton has now scored three goals in 12 senior appearances this term, with most of his roles coming as cameos off the bench.

But the teenager has not looked out of sorts when on the pitch and there is no reason why he can’t give some of his senior teammates a run for their money.

A new Rangers contract and a show in faith from the club could be the perfect catalyst to help the Scotland Under-21 international kick on over the next few months.

He’s got the technical ability and support of his manager to play in the Rangers senior team, but it’s up to him now to keep developing each week.
