Youngster Stephen Kelly has had a fantastic season so far at Ayr United on loan from Glasgow Rangers.
The 20-year-old spent the campaign with the Scottish Championship side and impressed as they finished in fourth place before the season was brought to a close due to the current pandemic. In 36 matches in all competitions, he scored six goals and provided four assists, becoming one of the go-to players in the middle of the park.

Such was the quality of his displays, he was even voted as Ayr’s Young Player of the Year before he returned to Ibrox. The accolade was decided by the supporters, as well, which shows exactly what kind of impression he made on the fans.
