Mikey Moore: I feel the ‘love’ of Rangers fans from the stands
Mikey Moore felt the “love” of the adoring Rangers support for his man-of-the-match performance and goal in Saturday’s 4-1 William Hill Premiership win over Aberdeen.
The 18-year-old fans’ favourite – on loan from Tottenham – helped to move Danny Rohl’s side back to within three points of leaders Hearts going into the international break and with seven fixtures remaining.
The home fans chanted Moore’s name and he received rapturous applause when he was replaced late on against an Aberdeen side managed by Northern Ireland-born Stephen Robinson.
“I feel the love from the fans in the stadium and I think they’ve taken to me really well,” said the teenager. “For a loan player, I think they’ve been unbelievable with me, especially with the way we started (the season) and the way I started personally.
“For them to still back me and sing my name, it’s been something special, so I’m grateful.
“It was a really good team performance and we done well to come out with three points.”
Asked about the possibility of extending his time at the Ibrox club, Moore gave fans some caveated encouragement.
He said: “I’ve loved every single second I’ve been here, the club is special and special to me now.
“I’m just going to enjoy the next seven games and obviously I need to speak to people back home and you never know what can happen.
“I don’t know if there’s been much club-to-club contact yet but I know that people spoke to me and the people around me, so conversations are happening and we’ll see what happens.
“I’m going to speak to people and just try and find the best solution for me. But this has been unbelievable and if it’s right for me next year, then I’d love to stay here, but we have to see what’s going on.”
