Alex Lowry and the key to Rangers stardom as Ibrox hero cautions there are tough lessons to come

dailyrecord.co.uk:

The school of hard knocks Charlie Miller had to scrap his way through is a thing of the past. But if the former Rangers hero has learned anything from 35 years in the game it’s that making the breakthrough at Ibrox never gets any easier.

It’s a lesson Alex Lowry is about to discover for himself despite his goalscoring introduction on Friday night. The classy kid lit up Gers’ Scottish Cup win over Stirling Albion, climbing off the bench to replace the crocked Ianis Hagi before producing the spark which bamboozled the Binos.

But the spotlight is now trained on the 18-year-old and if he’s to graduate like nine-in-a-row legend Miller did, he will have to find a way to force his way into Giovanni van Bronckhorst ’s line-up on a regular basis.

But unlike Miller’s day when the pressure to match Celtic’s record run of league titles put the brakes on the Gers production line of young talent, at least Lowry has a boss in charge himself reared in a system that puts a heavy emphasis on bringing on the next generation.Get all the latest Rangers news sent straight to your Inbox every day by signing up to our newsletter.We cover every morsel of information regarding your favourite club in the form of articles, videos and podcasts.The newsletter will arrive every day at 12pm, giving you a round up of the best stories we've covered that in the last 24 hours.To sign up, simply enter your email address into the link here.And if you aren't already, make sure you join the conversation over on our Rangers Facebook group and Record Sport Instagram.And Miller reckons those Dutch masterclasses will be key to Lowry’s future at Rangers.
