The striker, 18, bagged an impressive hat-trick as the Ibrox youngsters ran out 4-2 winners against Septemvri Sofia.
The second-round first-leg clash was played in Bulgaria as Rangers earned the vital win.
And it was the English striker who stepped up to the plate to help the U19s on their way to the European win.
Weston opened the scoring on the 20th-minute.
However, the Gers found themselves behind after Sofia turned the game on its head thanks to Simeon Alexandrov and Martin Stoychev.

Cole McKinnon ensured that the Glasgow giants went in level at the break.
Weston would go on to put the Ibrox side back into the lead after the interval, before securing his hat-trick to wrap up the first-leg tie.
His performances are sure to be impressing those at Ibrox.
He is currently the joint-top leading scorer in the Lowland League so far this campaign.
Weston joined Rangers from Blackpool in 2020.
He will be aiming to repeat his performance in the second leg which will be held on Tuesday, December 7.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
