Alex Lowry has written headlines across the nation this week – and his agent Des McKeown says Uddingston’s young talent will have a big future in the game after a stunning Rangers debut.The 18-year-old midfielder replaced Ianis Hagi in the first half of the Ibrox side’s 4-0 Scottish Cup fourth round win over Stirling Albion last week.Lowry netted a dream debut goal and turned in an accomplished performance on his first senior outing for Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side, before starting in the Premiership against Livingston on Wednesday night.A graduate of Motherwell’s Braidhurst High School, the teen is now reportedly in line for a new deal at Rangers following the display and development in their Lowland League B team.McKeown, director at Lowry’s representatives 360 Sports Consultancy, says the teen’s extended debut was something that caught him off-guard.

He told Lanarkshire Live Sport: “We are delighted that, first of all, the manager has included him in training and then been brave enough to give him the opportunity against Stirling Albion. “There were more experienced players on the bench who people may have thought would have been ahead of Alex in terms of getting on.“We were really delighted he got the opportunity to get on.

His performance was terrific given it was his first involvement.“I was hoping he would get on, but I probably didn’t expect him to get as many minutes.

I probably didn’t expect him to get chosen at that juncture. I probably didn’t expect that at 0-0, he would be introduced."I thought he might have been introduced with Rangers being 2-0 or 3-0 up.
