Stephen Kelly has joined Ayr United on a season-long loan deal and these Rangers fans are buzzing to see one of their brightest prospects go out and get some game time at a good level.
Kelly is a creative midfielder and big things are expected of him but given he’s just 19 and the competition that’s ahead of him at Ibrox a loan move to Championship side Ayr United makes a lot of sense. These Rangers fans are hopeful that former Rangers player and current Ayr boss Ian McCall will help develop the player and realise his high potential.
Kelly completed a whirlwind 24 hours by signing for The Honest Men after scoring a hattrick against the Ayrshire side in a behind closed doors friendly.
Steven Gerrard and the Rangers support will be hoping that the youngster can learn and grow at Somerset Park under McCall and come back a more rounded player than the one that departed.
Fantastic player. Go and smash it at Ayr

Great experience for the kid. He is probably the one out of kids I think has the tools to go furthest in the game. Great prospects.
