Tottenham Talent Wins Admiration from Former Rangers Star
Mikey Moore has turned a difficult start at Rangers into a run of influential performances. Gordon Dalziel praised the Tottenham loanee for standing up to pressure at Ibrox.
Slow start under Russell Martin
Rangers secured Moore on loan from Tottenham in the summer. He initially struggled to make an impact under manager Russell Martin.
Early critics said the youngster looked out of his depth. Two former players argued he had not earned a starting spot over Findlay Curtis.
Pundits and former players respond
Dalziel admitted he had doubts at first. Speaking on Clyde 1 Superscoreboard, he described the initial reaction from pundits and supporters.
Former Hibernian forward Tam McManus also noted clear improvement. Both men now see a player who has grown in confidence and stature.
On-field numbers and role
Moore has made 40 appearances for Rangers so far this season. He has scored six goals and provided three assists.
Dalziel believes the winger has become important to the team. He said fans now view Moore as a key performer.
Loan implications and next steps
This spell is Moore’s first senior loan away from Tottenham. He could finish the season as a Scottish Premiership winner with Rangers.
Tottenham’s league situation may influence transfer plans. If Spurs face relegation, Rangers might try to keep Moore, offering Champions League football.
Outlook
The Tottenham talent has shown resilience and growth this season. That progression has earned admiration from former Rangers figures and wider football circles.
