Mikey Moore’s loan spell at Rangers has been quite a disaster so far, with the Scottish giants crashing out of the Champions League.
Russell Martin’s side were emphatically beaten 9-1 on aggregate by Club Brugge, having been thrashed 6-0 in the second leg in Belgium.
Moore is not quite getting the game time he would have hoped for, either, as he remained an unused substitute against the Belgian side.
Tottenham Hotspur supporters have now been discussing the teenager’s loan spell in Scotland and are keen for rather drastic action to be taken.
Tottenham fans want Mikey Moore recalled from Rangers loan
Tottenham fans are now eager for Mikey Moore’s loan spell at Ibrox to be cut short following Rangers’ heavy defeat in the Champions League.
The Gers will now play Europa League football this season instead after being humiliated by Brugge in Belgium.
Tottenham fans already had concerns about Moore’s loan after he was given just 20 minutes off the bench in the first-leg.
The 18-year-old didn’t even make it off the bench against Brugge, despite Rangers being 5-0 down by half-time at the Jan Breydel Stadium.
Moore faces strong competition from Djeidi Gassama for a spot on the left wing, and Rangers’ new signing has been one of their few bright sparks.
Martin convinced Tottenham and Moore that Rangers was the right place for him to move, but to date, he doesn’t appear too keen on the teenager.
Following Rangers’ humiliation in Belgium, Spurs supporters took to X to share their disappointment at the treatment of their academy star.
One fan said: “Recall Mikey Moore in January. Rangers was such a bad place for him to develop, too much talent for him to rot there. They’re shocking in the league and in Europe.”
Meanwhile, another added: “Recall Mikey Moore immediately and loan him back out to Ryan Mason at West Brom… Or anywhere else really.”
There were further calls for Moore to be recalled: “Spurs should recall Mikey Moore. Rangers look like they’re in a mess, and who knows how many minutes and in what position he’ll play. “
Meanwhile, a Rangers fan added: “If I were Mikey Moore, I would be phoning Thomas Frank tomorrow morning asking to go back down the road.”
Martin’s job at Rangers is now under real threat ahead of Sunday’s Old Firm derby against Celtic.
Mikey Moore’s lack of minutes at Rangers
Moore is having to be very patient in waiting for his moment at Rangers following what has been a slow start to life at Ibrox.
In Rangers’ first eight matches, the teenager has managed just three appearances and a total of 134 minutes.
The issue is that the Scottish team are well stocked in the wide positions, and Gassama is continuing to impress following his arrival from Sheffield Wednesday.
Given the pressure which is now mounting on Martin, it will be fascinating to see whether he is sacked and how that would impact Moore’s future at the club.
