Rangers academy prospect Kyle Glasgow has confirmed he has agreed to sign a professional deal with the club when he turns 16, describing it as a dream he has held since childhood.
The highly rated teenager is currently representing Rangers at the prestigious Alkass Cup in Doha, Qatar, where the Ibrox youngsters are competing against elite academy sides from around the world.
Amid growing interest in his future, Glasgow moved to clarify his commitment to the club he has been part of since his earliest years.
Asked about speculation surrounding his next step and Rangers desire to keep him at the club, Glasgow gave a clear answer.
“Yeah, I've agreed to sign with Rangers,” he said.
The youngster, regarded as one of the brightest talents in the academy system, spoke emotionally about what the club means to him.
“That's a thing what I've wanted since I was a wee boy, because I joined the academy when I was four years old, in the development centre, and I just progressed and progressed.”
His journey through the Rangers youth ranks has been closely followed, and the new agreement signals the club’s belief in his long-term potential.
Head coach Danny Rohl is known to rate the youngster highly, and Glasgow’s development path is already being discussed in the context of future first-team involvement.
For Glasgow, though, the milestone is not an end point - it is motivation.
“I'm doing things I dreamed of when I was a little boy, and about the first team, but I'm hungry for more. I want more, I want my debut as soon as I can.
“I'm just going to keep on working hard.”
Rohl wanted to hand the 15-year-old his debut in the recent Scottish Cup win over Annan Athletic, alongside Ashton Scally, but was unable to use the duo due to SFA rules on under 16’s playing in senior competitions.
His brother, Euan, made his senior debut recently for Montrose, who he joined this month on loan from Rangers Scottish Premiership title rivals Hearts.
Those words reflect the mindset that has seen him progress rapidly through age groups and feature prominently in youth competitions beyond his years.
Signing a professional contract at 16 represents a major step in a young player’s career, formally tying him to the club he grew up supporting and giving Rangers security around one of their prized prospects despite interest from some of England’s biggest clubs.
For Rangers, it is another sign that the academy pathway remains strong, with young players seeing a future at Ibrox. For Glasgow, it is the continuation of a journey that could lead him to Ibrox greatness.
