Rangers star given big chance to impress ahead of Europa League final

Uddingston's Alex Lowry has earned a start for Rangers ahead of their Europa League final in Seville next week.

The Light Blues are almost out of the Premiership title race ahead of tonight's match with Ross County at Ibrox, with Celtic six points clear ahead of the final day on Saturday.

After booking progression to next week's major European final in Seville next Wednesday against Frankfurt - with a Scottish Cup final against Hearts coming in 10 days - Giovanni van Bronckhorst has been rotating.

He handed Lowry's fellow academy product Leon King a start in defence against Dundee United on Sunday and tonight the midfielder is fielded from the off against County.

Hailing from Uddingston and a graduate of Motherwell's Braidhurst high school, the teenager signed a new deal at Ibrox until 2025 on Saturday.

English Premier League teams Newcastle United and Manchester City were reportedly interested before he penned his new contract.
