DONE DEAL:Rangers and Celtic agreed terms and conditions over a young star under 20

Rangers academy is undergoing a similar revamp to that of the first-team with the journey for those at the bottom of the ladder likely to change compared to those at the top.

With aspirations of domestic dominance, the Ibrox outfit should always look to bring the country’s finest young players to Auchenhowie and one of the latest arrivals has a familiar parent.

Former Rangers skipper Lee Wallace is now a coach with Hearts’ Under-18 team but he will have to make the journey across the M8 again that he used to for years when he was a player.

Posting on X, which has since been deleted, Wallace’s wife Stephanie expressed her delight at their son Billy being signed by the club her husband signed for in 2011.

Having also shared a post about Rangers’ Under-10s age group, it’s an easy assumption to make that young Billy won’t be in the first-team any time soon.

“Following in his dad’s footsteps.

“So proud of all the hard work and commitment Billy has shown the last few years, he so deserves this,” posted an ecstatic Stephanie.

What famous footballing father and sons have hit the headlines?

The children of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have already had their statistics published by various media outlets, but there have already been some famous sons who have blazed a trail.

At Rangers, there is an obvious one in Ianis Hagi who, with 44 international caps and time playing in Serie A and La Liga can be proud of his efforts despite the pressure of living in the shadow of his dad Gheorghe’s legacy as a national hero.

Another is Claudio Reyna and his son Giovanni, who is currently at Borussia Dortmund, famously named after another Ibrox hero and his former teammate Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
