Following a 5-1 victory over Kilmarnock, Rangers' Mikey Moore, on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, is making a strong case for a regular starting spot. Moore's performance included a goal and an assist, showcasing his impact on the team's attack. This follows concerns about Rangers' creativity in open play, particularly after a goalless draw against Hibernian, making Moore's performance even more important.

Moore's dynamic play against Kilmarnock, with five chances created and seven successful dribbles, has earned praise. Former Rangers striker Steven Naismith lauded Moore's directness and confidence. His ability to create scoring opportunities and his movement in tight areas have been impressive. This performance comes after a period of inconsistent form, including a goal in the Old Firm derby.

Coach Danny Rohl is now emphasizing the need for consistency from the young winger. Moore's impact is clear, as Rangers appear more lively and unpredictable with him in the lineup. His midweek performance at Ibrox was only his 13th league start of the season. The team looks to improve and build on this performance.

Next, Rangers will be looking to build on this win. They are trying to close the gap on Hearts in the Scottish Premiership. The team hopes Moore can continue to impact matches. The focus will be on maintaining the level of play shown against Kilmarnock. This will be key to their success.
