Rangers have had a lot to undergo so far this term, right from their inability to derive the desired results to the exit of Mark Warburton in mysterious circumstances. Besides, their arch rivals, Celtic, have been miles better than them and frankly speaking, the Gers have substantial grounds to cover before they reclaim their tag of being one of the fearsome sides on the Scottish soil.
The introduction of Pedro Caixinha to the managerial slot recently was certainly a rave choice for both the parties. Frankly speaking, there are unarguably a lot of ramifications to be done with the way the Glasgow giants have been plying their trade and one of the first things Caixinha needs to undertake is to sort out his core team.
One of the emerging players whom the former AL Gharafa gaffer could possibly lay his eyes on is the sensational 15-year-old midfielder, Billy Gilmour. Despite the fact that he hasn’t been handed a call to the senior side, he has already attracted interest from a lot of European powerhouses, including Chelsea.
Gilmour is one of the hottest properties to have emerged from Rangers’ youth setup and is already on the lips of the football fraternity. Time and again, he has put on stellar performances and no wonder Caixinha is keen on monitoring his progress and introduce him to his tactical nous next season. The starlet has all the necessary tools in his armoury to be the next big thing in the country and there is hardly any shadow of doubt which lingers over that.
Predominantly an attacking midfielder from the no. 10 position, Gilmour aids the strikers meticulously and never refrains from falling back and catering to the defensive needs of his side as well. Moreover, link-up play is one of his strongest suits as he allows his fellow midfielders to steer forward and create nuisance for the opponents’ defence time and again. His control on the ball is stupendous and has the requisite technical edge as well.
The youngster also possesses an excellent eye for goals, has the ability to dribble past resolute defences and carve openings for his side as well. Although the physical demands of the top flight will impose a daunting assignment for Gilmour, he is likely to thrive despite the animosity, for he has the class and aura in him to make a mark for himself in the global stage very soon.
