Charlie Lindsay to Rangers - How fans reacted on Twitter

East Belfast teenager Charlie Lindsay completed his move to Rangers last week.

The 16-year-old has made the move from Glentoran after impressing for the Light Blues in a series of guest appearances.

Lindsay starred at this year's Alkass International Cup, being named the tournament's Most Valuable Player at the Aspire Academy in Qatar.

Rangers’ Head of Academy Craig Mulholland said: “Charlie is a player who has been a priority for us for some time and we are delighted that he has chosen Rangers.

“He is an attacking midfield player who is one of the youngest to play senior football in Northern Ireland. 

"Charlie was identified initially by our excellent scout in Northern Ireland, Phil Cowen, and having watched him many times it is clear his attributes fit the characteristics we look for in a Rangers player."

Rangers fans are equally delighted to have Lindsay at the club.

@jasonwilmont said on Twitter: "What a player, massive future ahead for him."

@jamesy61216671 added: "Thought we weren’t in for him this is a massive coup."

@s26cm commented: "Delighted with this. Kid is class."

Ajohnstott1981 said: "the next @ChelseaFC Billy Gilmour by the looks of his performances at the Alkass tournament."

@W20CPW tweeted: "Great signing Rangers. Boy tore it up at the Alkass."

Meanwhile, @dougiec72 said: "Head down young man work hard reap the benefits welcome aboard we will be right behind you."

@MrGaryValentne said: "Really excited with this one. Has all the potential in the world, hopefully he can fulfil that with Rangers."

And @Ali16137476 commented: "That lad will go far. Switched on and the attitude spot on. Great to see another lad from this side of the water getting his chance at Rangers. Another one for the NI team as well. Happy days!"

And @delinquent rich added: "That’s the wee man that strolled the games at the Alkass wasn’t it? Looks a fantastic wee player."
