Highly rated Rangers youngster Kyle Glasgow has scored his first senior league goal during his loan spell with Alloa Athletic.
The 16-year-old headed Alloa in front against Montrose in the eighth minute, meeting a dangerous cross to put the Wasps 1-0 ahead in the Scottish League One clash.
The match is still ongoing, with Glasgow and Alloa looking to build on their early advantage.
Glasgow nets for Wasps
Alloa confirmed the goal on social media.
“GOAL | 8' - Kyle Glasgow grabs the opener to see us in front, a headed effort into the back of the net following a dangerous cross into the box,” they posted.
The goal represents a significant milestone for Glasgow, who is spending the season with Alloa on a co-operation loan as he continues his development in senior football.
Glasgow named on Ibrox bench
It comes just days after the Rangers academy product was named on the bench for Thursday night's Europa League clash with Jagiellonia Bialystok at Ibrox.
Glasgow was part of the Rangers first-team squad for the European fixture despite being sent out on loan, highlighting the regard in which he is held within the club.
The loan move is designed to give the youngster regular competitive football and experience at senior level, with his first league goal providing an early reward.
His headed finish against Montrose is his first senior leagye goal, and he will now look to add to that tally during his time at Recreation Park.
He scored his first senior goal during Alloa's Premier Sports Cup campaign in July, netting against Premiership side Falkirk.
His brother, Euan Glasgow, interestingly spent the second half of last season on loan with Montrose, from parent club Hearts.
Glasgow's progress will be one to monitor closely, particularly after his involvement around the first-team squad this week.
Former Gers boss Danny Rohl had wanted to debut Glasgow in last season's Scottish Cup clash with Queen’s Park, but was denied doing so by red tape as he was still under 16 at the time.
Ashton Scally was also denied his first team debut that night under the same ruling, but featured on the final day of the Premiership season as Rangers defeated Falkirk.
Alloa currently lead Montrose 1-0, with the match continuing.
