Rangers' Aaron Ramsey was a huge help to Ibrox hit kid in impressive season

Rangers star Alex Lowry says meeting and working with Juventus star Aaron Ramsey was a highlight of an already impressive debut season at Ibrox.

The 18-year-old from Uddingston broke through into the first-team at Rangers last season and is on the verge of making his Scotland under-21 debut in a European Championships qualifier this afternoon, having signed a contract extension at Ibrox.

But he says his game has come on leaps and bounds from working with Welsh internationalist Ramsey as he prepares to face group leaders Belgium with the young Scots in Sint-Truiden.

Scot Gemmill's side must beat Belgium and Denmark in their final two games, and hope results elsewhere go their way, to progress in the competition.

But it's another step on an amazing journey for Lowry, who this season scored his first league goal for Rangers and was on the bench for their Europa League and Scottish Cup finals.

Former Arsenal star Ramsey ended his loan spell at Rangers under a cloud, having missed a crucial penalty as they lost the Europa League final against Eintracht Frankfurt, and is trying to resolve his contract issues at Juventus.

But Lowry says he learned a lot from Ramsey and the rest of his teammates.

Lowry said: "I don’t think the last few weeks have really sunk in with the Europa League Final and my first Scotland Under 21s call-up.

“I’m just trying to take it and use it, but it has been a whirlwind couple of months.

“I’ve spoken to [manager] Giovanni van Bronckhorst and his staff and they think it’s brilliant that I am here and it’s a great opportunity.

“At Rangers, Aaron was amazing to learn from. He has played at such a high level throughout his career.

“To learn from him was amazing. It was great to learn too from Joe Aribo and
