Rangers star receives stunning 'unlike anyone else' praise as 'remarkable degree of self-confidence' analysed

Former Rangers coach Graeme Murty believes Uddingston's Alex Lowry has the confidence to take him to the top.

The teenage midfielder scored a brace for Scotland's u19s last week against Turkey, following on from his breakthrough at Rangers.

After shining for their Lowland League 'B' team in the first half of this season, Lowry was handed his senior debut in the Scottish Cup against Stirling Albion, scoring in the win.

He has made four appearances overall and Murty - who had interim spells in charge of the first-team at Ibrox - was heavily involved in youth development at his former club, and knew the Uddingston star would thrive.

He told Sportsound: "Alex is unlike anyone else at Rangers I would suggest in terms of his technical ability, the range of passing that he sees and executes, his individual ability to go past people.

"He has a remarkable degree of self-confidence.

“He believes in himself to the upmost and he wants the ball, he’s hungry for it and wants to make things happen.

“It’s not a surprise when he comes on to make his debut, looks a home in a first-team match of that pace and of that tempo because he has the technique to play and you are not surprised that he scores.

“He had the confidence to back himself and go and do it."
