The success of the under-16s is the latest bright note to emerge from the Rangers academy, following on from the fine performances of their under-19 side in Europe.
Graeme Murty’s charges have already advanced past Young Boys and Slovan Bratislava to reach the third round of the UEFA Youth League, having beaten the latter home and away.
