Yesterday the Rangers Youth Academy completed an enthralling comeback against Aspire Academy in the Al Kass International Cup. The match finished 4-4.
Rangers also scored a 92nd-minute equaliser during their match against Suwon Samsung on Saturday.
The tournament includes academies from some of the best clubs in Europe, including Barcelona, PSG, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Sporting Lisbon.
When Rangers posted a clip of their young Gers scoring the later winner, fans were full of praise for them.
Brilliant fight back lads. Well done.

Does the Youth Academy have more bottle than the senior squad?
Yes
No
What do we think?
The never stay die attitude from the youngsters is admirable. They have clearly shown their ability to fight back and get results in the dying embers of matches.
The Gers actually won the Al Kass International Cup in 2019, winning a penalty shootout in the final against AS Roma. The side came back in that match, as well, after going down 1-0 within 24 minutes.
They were one of the youngest sides at the tournament that year and became the first British side to ever lift the trophy.
