TEENAGER Jamie Barjonas thanked Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha for giving him his Ibrox debut in the 2-1 Ladbrokes Premiership win over Hearts.

The 18-year-old midfielder, who made his first appearance the previous weekend, came off the bench again and helped his side see out the game and clinch third.

Barjonas told Rangers TV: “It was very nerve-wracking when I was coming on but when I got on I just tried to play my game, do what I am good at, keep it simple. I thought it was amazing. It is a dream come true. Making my debut at Firhill and now making my home debut is unbelievable. I was a wee bit taken aback as I didn’t know I was going to get on.

“It was brilliant to get on to the bench and to get on is an add-on. Cheers to the gaffer for having faith in me. Hopefully I can keep going, getting more game time and to keep winning.”

Joe Garner and Barrie McKay scored Rangers’ goals with Esmael Goncalves’ levelling in between.
