Upward path for Penrice has McInnes eager for Rangers deal

It's been a very good few days for James Penrice, with a first Scotland call-up following on from a first senior semi-final victory, so it is little wonder manager Derek McInnes is so keen to keep him at Rangers.

The 27-year-old started like a train at Ibrox and has just kept going.

A day after signing on loan from AEK Athens, in his first outing of the season, the left-back turned in a player-of-the-match display, scoring and providing an assist in the 5-1 demolition of St Mirren.

It was Rangers' first win of the campaign after Europa League elimination and a tally of one point from their opening two games in the Scottish Premiership.
