In-form Rangers loanee Mikey Moore does not know what his long-term future holds - but believes his time at Ibrox has been “unbelievable” and hopes to sign off with the Premiership title.
Moore has emerged as one of Rangers’ most creative players in recent weeks and he has become a darling of the club’s fanbase, who are desperate for him to prolong his stay from Tottenham Hotspur. And head coach Danny Rohl has made no secret of his desire to keep the 18-year-old beyond the end of the season.
While Moore admits that he has loved his time at Rangers, the matter remains out of his hands. His parent club Spurs are fighting relegation in the English Premier League and are likely to be searching for a new manager come the end of the campaign, with Igor Tudor only in interim charge.
“I've loved every single second I've been here and I think the club is special and it's special to me now,” Moore said after scoring in Rangers’ 4-1 win over Aberdeen. “For me, I'm just going to enjoy the next seven games and obviously I need to speak to people back home. I never know what can happen. For me, to be honest, I have no clue. We'll have conversations in the summer and we'll see what happens.
“I don't know if there's been much club-to-club contact yet, but I know that people have spoke to me and the people around me, so conversations are happening and we'll see what happens come the end of the season. I just want to enjoy the last seven games and obviously I've absolutely loved it up here, so we'll see what happens.
“Obviously, I don't know what's happening with the manager and what's happening at the club at the minute. We'll see how the season ends, who comes in and I'm going to speak to people and just try and find the best solution for me. I think this has been unbelievable for me and if it's right for me next year, then I'd love to stay here, but we have to see what's going to happen.”
Moore was planning to have talks with Spurs’ loan manager to see if he could find any more clarity on his future. “Andy Scolding used to work up here, so he was a big influence in me coming here in the first place and he explained to me what he feels it can help me with and I think he was completely right with everything he said,” continued Moore. “I'll speak to him, I think he was up here today watching the game. I'll probably ring him after today, so we'll see what he says.”
Moore has been feeling the love from the Rangers fans and admits they have spurred him on to succeed at Ibrox. “I feel the love from the fans in the stadium and I think they've took to me really well,” the teenager said. “For a loan player, I think they've been unbelievable with me, especially with the way we started and the way I started personally. For them to still back me and sing my name, it's been something special, so I'm grateful to them.”
