Jamie Barjonas aiming to kick on after making senior Rangers debut

Rangers teenager Jamie Barjonas' first taste of senior action on Sunday has made him hungry for more.

The 18-year-old Ibrox prospect was handed his debut by boss Pedro Caixinha as his side took on Partick Thistle at Firhill.

And the Scotland Under-17 cap's 20-minute run-out ended in the perfect style as Rangers fought back to claim a 2-1 win.

Barrie McKay cancelled out Kris Doolan's early opener seven minutes from time before Joe Garner sent the travelling Light Blues support wild with his winner in the fourth minute of stoppage time.

Barjonas was right in among the celebrations as the visitors confirmed their Europa League place for next season, and the youngster cannot wait to sample that feeling again.

He told RangersTV: "I've got another year on my contract so hopefully I can push on and get as much first-team game time as I can because that was class. I want a lot more of that.

"It feels brilliant. I've played for this club for 10 or 11 years and to have finally made my (senior) debut is great.

"I actually didn't think I'd get on. I just thought I was coming here to be on the bench for the experience.

"But then the gaffer gave me a shout and I'm just thrilled - even more so because we got the win. It was just brilliant.

"The manager just told me to get on the ball and play. He also said to make sure I take care of the defence and sit in front of them.

"He also said to me to let the guys in front get on the ball and play, and that's what I did.

"It's just great to get the win. I thought Kenny Miller was class the whole game and everyone else was brilliant."

He continued: "The speed of play was the big difference. I found the movement off the ball was a lot quicker than I expected. You have to get forward and then back in to position so quickly at this level. There's a lot more demand on you to stay with your man and not concede any goals.

"The fans were also great throughout the game. The atmosphere is just so much different to what I'm used to with the under-20s.

"To be involved in the celebrations at the end was a dream come true. I've dreamt about that moment my entire life, and for it to finally happen is fantastic."
