The Spurs winger has joined the Scottish giants on a season-long mortgage for the 2025/26 season to additional his improvement.

Moore has already made 21 senior appearances for Spurs and is now set to earn extra valuable first-team minutes with Rangers.

However he isn’t the primary Spurs expertise to swap north London for Glasgow.

In August 2015, Nathan Oduwa linked up with the Teddy Bears on a season-long mortgage deal.

And to say he made an prompt impression on his debut could be an understatement.

Oduwa got here on as a second half substitute in Rangers‘ 5-1 victory away at Alloa Athletic within the Championship.

He tried an audacious rainbow flick over full-back Colin Hamilton – leaving the defender incensed following the full-time whistle.

Hamilton accused the ahead of disrespect, whereas insisting that the then-19-year-old is inviting hassle if he tries showboating with different defenders within the division.

The Hearts academy graduate raged: “I felt as if he was attempting to take the p***.

“What was there, a minute to go? Was there actually any want for it? I can’t inform any participant play or not play, it’s his determination.

“What are you able to do? He’s attempting to indicate off. I didn’t even get the prospect to talk to him after the sport as he simply walked off.

“I’m certain there are different centre backs and left backs that, if he does attempt that once more, perhaps gained’t let him away with it.

“I used to be disenchanted not solely with that, however with the sport as nicely. We killed ourselves within the first half, though they have been excellent.”

Hamilton’s criticism led to Rangers boss Mark Warburton popping out in defence of the teen as he declared that aptitude gamers must be inspired.

Nevertheless, Warburton did state that he would communicate privately with Oduwa concerning the matter.

On the rainbow flick, he remarked: “I’m not all the time a giant fan of that! However you’ve received to hope you develop an actual expertise – and he’s an actual expertise.

“There’s no lack of respect meant by any of the gamers, completely not. He’s simply having fun with his soccer.

“He’s come as much as play. It’s irritating once you’re a younger participant at a giant membership, not getting within the first workforce. You need aggressive soccer.

“We’ll have a quiet phrase. He’s a really respectful younger man. I’ve little question he’ll make an impression – for all the best causes.

“He’s a really proficient participant. We’ve been chasing him for an extended whereas.

“He’s come from a terrific academy and did a great pre-season with the Spurs first workforce.”

Warburton later added: “I simply marvel what the media response could be and the followers’ response if a overseas participant did that.

“If Lionel Messi got here in and did that, what could be the response?

“He [Oduwa] is a younger man and he got here on, a smile on his face with a great deal of expertise, eager to impress and play nicely.

“He made a distinction when he got here on. He has received a lot expertise. There’s no lack of respect.

It was the same view shared by Alloa boss Danny Lennon, who rejected the view that Oduwa was disrespectful, and as an alternative lauded him for attempting the talent.

“I don’t suppose he was disrespectful.”

In the meantime, now-Rangers captain James Tavarnier declared Oduwa’s showboating antics earned him a brand new nickname within the dressing room.

The precise-back revealed: “The followers liked all his methods and hopefully he’ll get rewarded with objectives and assists. I used to be calling him Jay-Jay Okocha.”

Whereas large issues have been anticipated of Oduwa at Rangers, he had his mortgage minimize quick in January having scored simply as soon as from 19 video games in all competitions.

And with Moore to observe in his footsteps, the 17-year-old shall be hoping to not ruffle anybody’s feathers.
