The Tottenham loanee has been growing increasingly important to Danny Rohl’s side with every passing week of late, and he played a key role in their dominant first-half display at Ibrox.

Youssef Chermiti netted an eye-catching double, which included a staggering overhead kick, before Celtic battled back in the second half through Kieran Tierney and a last-gasp Reo Hatate equaliser after a missed penalty.

Rangers fans will have left Ibrox frustrated that their team couldn’t get themselves over the line in the final stages, but Moore’s display has been a source of major positivity once again.

Rangers fans explode over Mikey Moore: ‘He will end up at a better club than Tottenham’

Moore already has seven goal involvements for Rangers in league action so far this term, and although he didn’t add to that tally during Sunday’s derby, he was at the heart of everything good about his team’s performance.

The 18-year-old was not fazed in the slightest by the magnitude of the occasion, and he quickly stamped his authority on the game in the first half with some excellent attacking moments.

Moore completed more dribbles than any other player on the pitch at Ibrox, while also creating two chances and winning an impressive six duels, according to Fotmob.

Rangers fans were left in awe of the starlet’s remarkable first-half display, and they took to X to share their latest round of rave reviews for the Tottenham loanee.

One supporter labelled the youngster’s display against Celtic as “phenomenal,” while another suggested that he will become a “£100million player in a few years.”

A member of the Rangers faithful also outlined that Moore “absolutely ran the game” in the first half, while another labelled him a “sensational player,” and demanded that the Gers pay whatever it would cost to keep him permanently.

• @RangersBanter17: “Moore will end up at a better club than Spurs. Kid has got the lot and a year here will do him the world of good.”
• @greegs97: “Moore really is a terrific footballer.”

Do Rangers have any hope of keeping Moore?

Former Aberdeen chief executive Keith Wyness recently told Football Insider that Rangers have “no chance” of being able to sign Moore on a permanent deal.

The Scottish businessman suggested that Tottenham’s sky-high hopes for Moore as his career progresses will prevent any chance of them even considering the idea of selling him.

However, Wyness refused to rule out the idea of the North London giants sanctioning another loan to Ibrox for the starlet next season, given how well he has performed this time around.

Tottenham are facing an uncertain future at the moment as they find themselves in the thick of a relegation battle in the Premier League, and the fate of that battle could potentially have a huge impact on where Moore plays his football next term.
