Northern Ireland teenager Mason Munn is quickly earning a burgeoning reputation at Rangers. He has been earmarked as one for the future having already trained with Philippe Clement's first-team at Ibrox.
Munn took centre stage once again this week, helping Rangers B see off Celtic to claim the Glasgow Cup at Queen’s Park’s City Stadium. Clement was one of the interested spectators at the game.
The 18-year-old - who has been capped at Under 19 level for Northern Ireland - has enjoyed working alongside the likes of senior stars Jack Butland and Liam Kelly.

And he says the message from both men has been relatively "basic" - hard work.
”Jack (Butland) and Liam (Kelly) are two very experienced guys in the SPFL now,” Munn told Rangers Review.
”Liam being at Motherwell for such a long spell and Jack being in England squad playing in the Premier League.
”They both know what it takes so being around them every day and being around the first team and the manager, all those things for me are massive experiences.
”Travelling with the first-team, understanding what it takes to win a game of football, being around the changing room.
”Just loads of different experiences is good for me and I need to keep learning.
”(The advice is) just basic stuff. I think if you asked anybody out on the street what’s the takeaway from football, it’s just hard work.
”You can have all the talent in the world, you can have all the ability in the world but if you don’t work hard you’ve got no chance.
”That’s just part and parcel with the game, you need to work hard to get there.”
