Harris O'Connor is on trial with Airdrie ahead of a potential summer move.
The 19-year-old featured for the Diamonds in the North Lanarkshire Cup final defeat against Clyde.
O'Connor was highly-regard by Rangers but he departed the Scottish Champions this summer.
The centre-back played for Charlton and Kilmarnock before joining Graeme Murty's development side at Rangers.
O'Connor, who enjoyed a spell on-loan at Brechin City last season, played the full ninety minutes for Airdrie as the right-centre back in a 3-5-2 formation.
The Scotland youth international is very comfortable in possession and he looked assured despite Airdrie's disappointing defeat in the pre-season tournament.
It's understood that O'Connor also impressed in a bounce game last week and Diamonds boss Murray is keen to sign the centre-back for the League One side.
The 40-year-old boss said: "Harris is a really talented player but he is still young.
"We just need to weigh up the options with him and be fair to him in terms of how many minutes he could get at Airdrie next season.
"We've got a lot of cover on the right side of our defence with Sam Wardrop and Craig Watson.
"He's been with us for four or five sessions and he's got a fantastic attitude.
"It was a hard game for him today but these are the type of games that you learn against defensive trialists.
"It was a good test for him and we will sit down with him over the next couple of days."
