Rangers Under-20s goalkeeper Robby McCrorie has stated that while he thinks he is ready to step into the first team next year and make an impact, he is aware that it might take a bit of time.
The 18-year-old, who was part of Rangers’ pre-season trip to South Carolina last summer, is yet to make his senior debut for the Scottish giants.
McCrorie is a product of the Gers’ youth system and has thus far made two Challenge Cup appearances for the development team in the present campaign, managing a clean sheet.
But the teenager conceded that he may have to wait a bit to break into the first team.
“I'd like to think [I can] now, but as a goalkeeper, experience is important, so it may take a bit of time”, he wrote in a question and answer session on Twitter, when asked if he thinks he is ready to step into the first team.

“[I want it to happen] as soon as possible, but I need to be patient.”
Robby’s brother Ross, who has also progressed through Rangers’ youth system, joined Scottish Championship outfit Dumbarton on loan in January.
And the custodian feels going out on loan to receive first team experience will be the next step in his development.
“Yes, it is definitely the next step for me”, he replied, when asked if he intends to go out on loan.
The young shot-stopper has represented Scotland up to Under-21 level.
