Rangers youngster Findlay Curtis has opened up on his 'dream come true' at Old Trafford.
The 18-year-old came on to make his European debut against Manchester United on Thursday evening, replacing Vaclav Cerny with half an hour to go.
Curtis has been in fine fettle for Rangers' B team in recent times and got his maiden first-team opportunity against Fraserburgh in the Scottish Cup last weekend.

He then appeared midweek in the Europa League and has since opened up on such a significant career moment: "It was a dream come true coming out at Old Trafford," he told official club media.
"I have dreamed of this since I was young, and I am buzzing to get my debut. It was a disappointing result in the end, but we move on.
"It was a surprise, I didn’t think I was getting on, but the message was just to do the exact same as what I did on Sunday against Fraserburgh, and I thought I did that.
"I thought it was an end-to-end game, we didn't take our chances, but it is about moving onto the next game against Dundee United so hopefully go and win that."
It was a bitter way to lose for Philippe Clement's men on Thursday after they thought they had salvaged a late point through Cyriel Dessers.
It wasn't to be, though, and the team will now put their full focus on Sunday's trip to face Dundee United at Tannadice.
Curtis wants to keep grafting ahead of the match: "It is just about moving on, I need to keep on working hard and hopefully get a start soon," he said.
"I didn't think I would be where I am just now to be fair, but I think it is just down to my hard work. I just need to keep on doing that, I'll always keep on doing it so I am buzzing the manager has given me my European debut and I will just keep on working."
