Mikey Moore insists he has never considered ending his Rangers loan spell early as he vowed to go from strength to strength this season after netting his first goal in the win over Dundee.

Moore made the switch north of the border from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer as he was given the chance to play regular first team football this term. A difficult start to the season during Russell Martin's tenure saw him struggle to hit the heights expected and social media was awash with rumours that he was keen to return to his parent club.

The England youth international has been rejuvenated following the arrival of Danny Rohl as head coach. And he believes there is much more to come from him on the back of his well-taken strike in the win at Dens Park on Sunday.

"Yeah, I think it was a difficult start for me and I don't think I showed anywhere near what I know I can do," Moore said. "And yeah, I think mentally it's been unbelievable for me because it's a massive club and I think it's strengthened me up a lot because it's the first bit of probably the toughest time I've been through, so now I'm happy to be coming out of it, but now I need to keep on going and performing. 

"I think a lot of stuff goes in the media, that’s never true, so I was never ready to go back. I always knew that at some point it would change and I've changed it for myself a little bit in the last few weeks. But I need to keep building and playing even better than I am, so I'm picking up goals and assists as I said in midweek that I need to, so I'm happy with the goal [on Sunday].

" I'm feeling a lot more confident, I'm getting used to the league, used to my teammates and yeah, the manager's helped me a lot as well. He's come in and he's gave me confidence and belief in myself which has been good from him, so I'm excited to keep going."
