Ibrox News

Rangers loanee Mikey Moore has continued to keep tabs on Tottenham this campaign.

The England under-19 international completed a switch to Ibrox in the summer and has batted off original frustration around his signature.

The teenager is now a massively important figure under Danny Rohl and has become a well-loved fan favourite in Govan.

His eight goal involvements have had a positive impact this campaign, but there is frustration creeping in as his loan spell edges closer towards its expiry.

Moore is destined to return to Tottenham in the summer, where he has now reached out after Callum Olusesi made his debut on Sunday.

Callum Olusesi makes Tottenham debut vs Liverpool

The Gers have certainly been delighted with what they’ve seen from their Spurs loanee this campaign.

Moore is arguably the brightest talent coming out of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium right now, and Ibrox has been trusted to nurture him.

That faith has certainly paid off, even though the Englishman could have played first-team minutes in North London this campaign.

The Lilywhites have had a shocking season and are seriously facing the threat of relegation under interim boss Igor Tudor.

They did manage to snatch a point away to Liverpool on Sunday, but summed up their current state when Olusesi was brought on with 76 minutes played.

A Premier League debut at Anfield is no mean feat, and the 19-year-old has now received a positive message from Moore on social media to commemorate the moment.

Olusesi’s post reads, “God’s grace, Premier League debut,” and was met with a reply from the Rangers loanee that says, “My brother”.

The pair may soon be featuring together for Spurs, especially with Moore set to make his Tottenham return after his Ibrox stint.

Mikey Moore must focus on Rangers

It is certainly positive for the North London club that the winger is keeping tabs on his parent club, especially while they’re in such dire straits.

That won’t necessarily be echoed by the Light Blues if Moore can’t keep up his form until the end of the campaign.

He hasn’t scored or assisted in three and will be keen to change that, especially with the title race hotting up in the Scottish Premiership.

The forward last scored in the 2-2 draw with Livingston and has since gone without any sort of output against Celtic and St Mirren.

Moore will have one eye now on his future prospects at Tottenham, but may need to be reminded to keep his feet on the ground for the time being.

Rangers fans may have even more reasons to celebrate soon.

Following their 1-1 draw with Panathinaikos on Wednesday night (30 July), Russell Martin’s side booked their place in the next round of qualifying for the Champions League as 3-1 aggregate winners.

Despite Gers’ performance getting criticism from some onlookers, the Light Blues ultimately got the job done and are set to take on Viktoria Plzen in the next round.

The potential arrival of Tottenham Hotspur youngster Mikey Moore would give supporters at Ibrox yet another reason to celebrate, with the youngster on the verge of signing in G51.

Sky Sports pundit gives Moore to Rangers seal of approval

With Moore’s loan move set to be announced as soon as Thursday (31 July), Rangers will be eager to welcome the winger who could be in line to make his debut against Motherwell on the opening day of the season.

Moore had also attracted interest from West Brom among other Championship clubs; however, Rangers look to have successfully fought off any opposition for the 17-year-old’s signature.

Moore is set to be Martin’s eighth signing of the summer, alongside:

Lyall Cameron also technically joined the Old Firm outfit this summer, but was signed on a pre-contract agreement earlier this year.

Speaking to Football League World (31 July), Sky Sports pundit Don Goodman gave his thoughts on Moore’s move north of the border.

“So, West Bromwich Albion’s loss will be Rangers’ gain. I’m pretty confident that Moore will go to the SPFL and absolutely blitz it and do really, really well – very exciting player,” he said.

“From West Brom’s perspective, disappointed that they couldn’t manage to tempt him, or persuade him to join them in the Championship, for what hopefully will be a promotion push, but the lure of Rangers was too big, and I’m sure Moore will do well there.”

Moore an exciting addition for Martin

Moore is regarded as the finest prospect currently within Spurs’ academy, and considering West Brom manager Ryan Mason’s links to the North London outfit, Rangers have done well to seemingly get this deal over the line.

The teenager played his part in the Lilywhites’ Europa League triumph last season, and regular first-team football under Martin in Scotland will only improve the winger even more.

Mikey Moore’s stats in Spurs’ Europa League campaign:

Competition for places out wide will turn into a potential headache now for Martin, with Gassama scoring in both of his cameo appearances from the bench against Panathinaikos.

Rangers youngster Findlay Curtis has also impressed, particularly in the first leg of the tie against the Greek giants.
