The highly-rated attacker joined the League Two Sulphurites in January and quickly established himself as a key member of Simon Weaver's side out on the left wing, netting four goals in 24 appearances.

The 19-year-old has now returned north to Ibrox, but feels that he goes back to the Scottish giants a better person and player than when he left.

“I moved in January after being at Morton for the first half of the season and I have loved the experience," McPake told Rangers TV.

“I have definitely grown as a person during this loan spell. This is the first time I have moved away from home so this experience has helped me a lot.

“The club have really looked after me, they have been brilliant with me since I joined to be honest and are always asking if they can do anything to help me and check on how I am doing each day.

"I have enjoyed the physicality and speed of the game, it suits my game and the move has worked out really well.
