Rangers: Fans react to Billy Gilmour’s display vs Liverpool

Loads of Rangers fans have been reacting to the FA Cup display of Billy Gilmour, as the ex-Gers prodigy produced a man of the match performance for Chelsea against Liverpool.

Cup competitions always produce breakout displays from emerging young talents, but it doesn’t come much better than what Gilmour did on Tuesday, starring in his side’s 2-0 win over the European, World and soon to be English Champions.

Liverpool’s midfield seemed shocked by Gilmour’s boundless energy and silky skill, and unsurprisingly plenty of Gers fans have been discussing his incredible night. The teenager left Ibrox aged just 15 to join the Blues, costing the Stamford Bridge outfit an initial £500,000, via Sky Sports.

Per Sofascore, the now 18 year-old registered 62 touches against Liverpool, completing 77% of his passes and one key pass, along with two successful dribbles and two tackles. You can find some of the best Twitter reactions from the blue half of Glasgow down below…

If Gilmour was still at Ibrox Gerrard would have him out on loan at Hibs.

Billy Gilmour very impressive tonight. Just a pity he wasn’t doing it a Ibrox! #FACup #ChelseaVsLiverpool

Anytime he plays well and I think of what he could’ve been at Rangers pic.twitter.com/dCGP7Ill7z

Really is a shame Rangers couldn’t keep a hold of Billy Gilmour. That boy will become a top class player within the next few years

That’s why Billy Gilmour left Rangers, what a talent, what a player!!

The saddest thing about all this is that it would be real. And Halliday would be above him in the election
