'Some prospect', 'great': Some fans wowed by Rangers 18-year-old's display for nation's U21s last night

Glasgow Rangers prodigy Nathan Patterson put in an impressive performance for Scotland’s Under-21s last night, earning praise from Ibrox faithful and some neutrals.

The Rangers academy graduate featured at right-back for his nation as they ran out 2-0 winners over the Czech Republic in European qualifying.

The standout moment for Patterson in the game at Tynecastle was his great link-up play with Fraser Hornby for the opener on 25 minutes.

Scotland then doubled their lead on 82 minutes through former Gers prospect Ross McCrorie, the victory moving the nation a point behind the Czechs in Group 4 with a game in hand.

Here is what some fans on social media made of Patterson’s display for the national U21s:

Excellent goal from Scotland Under 21’s taking advantage of a Czech Republic mistake, turning the ball over quickly and Fraser Hornby is there to finish it off, really good play between Hornby and Nathan Patterson. So composed and clinical from Hornby, a real moment of quality.

Great result. McIntyre at the back was class , Hornby up top was different class , Mcrorie mopped up everything in the middle and that young lad from Rangers Patterson is some prospect.

Patterson always selected isnt he. Very promising player for us in the future but might need a loan or 2 to get him games as Tav will be here a few more years I think..

Patterson has enjoyed a great year so far, beginning with his exploits during the winter break training camp in Dubai.

To date, the 18-year-old has made four competitive senior appearances for Rangers, and Steven Gerrard has named him in multiple matchday squads.
