Max Johnston is now Sturm Graz's first choice right back. Should he be starting for Scotland too? "Sturm Graz have played a blinder!"

Going to highlight some ex-Rangers youngsters that are performing well this season. Starting off with Matty Yates! The 22-year-old has 5G/6A in 15 appearances this season for Stenny. All five goals have come in the last six games as have three of the assists. HE’S ON FIRE 🔥

I think there’s an arguement to be made that, since he came back into the side, Nico Raskin has been Rangers best player this season. Thought he was superb AGAIN last night, covers every blade of grass and carries the ball so well. What have you made of his recent form?

Personally, I love when young Scottish players make a bold move and that’s exactly what Max Johnston did. After six really impressive months at Motherwell, his contract expired and he moved to Sturm Graz in Austria.

A first career hat trick for Offord last night as Crusaders progressed to the League Cup semi final with a 4-2 extra time win over Dungannon Swifts. The 20 year old's tally for the season now stands at 11. Kieran Offord scores goals.

A player definitely worth talking about is St. Mirren youngster Kieran Offord. The 20-year-old striker has been in great form for Crusaders on loan this season. He’s been capped at U19 level, should he make the step up to the U21s?

Give it six months and everyone will be talking about Frosinone’s Kevin Barcella. Really interesting profile, aggressive, reads the game well and is capable of creating chances. One to watch.

Another day, another potential Scotland number nine for the future. Daniel Cummings is a pure goalscorer, he’s been on fire for Celtic B this season! Between the UEFA Youth League and Lowland League he’s scored 22 in 19 games. Will Rodgers give him a chance this season?

Ryan Oné is a player I have really high hopes in terms of people a future national team striker. Great physical profile, strong, quick, can play short or go long. He also has great control of the ball and is capable of playing up top on his own. What do you think of him?

My favourite player on the list. Despite not having the best time in Italy, David Strelec is way too good to be back playing in Slovakia again. A great finisher who’s technically excellent. He’s intelligent in how he uses both his body and the ball. He’s scored four in six in the Nations League.
