Mikey Moore has described his loan spell at Rangers as a “special experience” and admitted he will leave Ibrox with a lasting emotional connection to the club, as uncertainty surrounds his future amid Tottenham Hotspur’s ongoing situation.
The 18-year-old forward is due to return to Spurs this summer after his loan deal expires with Danny Rohl‘s side after Saturday’s trip to Falkirk.
With his parent club still facing a potentially turbulent end to their own campaign and uncertainty over Premier League status with two matches remaining.
Mikey Moore unsure on Spurs future
Moore’s future will ultimately be decided by Tottenham’s new head coach Roberto De Zerbi.
The teenager acknowledging he must wait for clarity before any long-term plans are made.
“For me now, it’s hard because it’s the same as for me last year,” he said.
“A new manager was in at Tottenham and I had to go back in and see what he was saying about me.
“There is a new manager at Spurs at the minute. I’m a Spurs player, so we’ll have to see what he says about me, what he wants me to do, what the people around me want me to do.”
The youngster confirmed he will report back to North London before making any decisions on his next step.
“I’m going to go back there and see what the new people say in the building and from there I’ll make a decision,” he added.
Mikey Moore on being a Rangers “fan for life”
Despite the uncertainty, Moore made clear his appreciation for his time in Glasgow, highlighting both personal development and the emotional impact of playing for Rangers.
“This club’s been a huge part of what I’m going to become, and it’s helped me so much,” he said.
“For me, no matter what happens, I’m a fan of this club for the rest of my life now.”
Mikey Moore on Gers’ collapse
Moore also reflected on the collapse in form which has defined Rangers’ end to the season, with four consecutive defeats leaving a sour note on what had initially been a promising spell.
“The way I said, I don’t think any of us three weeks ago expected to be in the position we’re in, but it’s our fault and we need to take that,” he said.
“We need to go and show a good account of ourselves and try and bounce back.”
The forward, who has been praised for his work-rate and mentality during his time in Scotland, admitted the downturn has been difficult to process collectively.
“I think mentally I’ve just changed so much as a person,” he said.
“Every day means something. If you want to go and win every single game, that’s the way we need to be.”
Despite the disappointment, Moore insisted the experience has strengthened his understanding of elite expectations and consistency.
“We need to realise that every day means something and it’s a chance to improve,” he said.
What needs to change at Ibrox
Looking ahead, he believes Rangers retain the foundation to challenge for honours again but warned that standards must rise across the squad.
“I think there’s a base there to really go and make a mark,” he said.
“Obviously, we need to win the league and [compete] in Europe.
“But there needs to be a few changes mentally within the squad. We need to realise the club that we’re playing at and where this club needs to be.”
Moore also reflected on the broader demands of playing for Rangers, particularly the expectation to perform consistently under pressure.
“When it gets tough, we just need to stick together more,” he said.
“To have a winning culture, you need to have those standards.”
He added that unity and leadership within the dressing room will be key if Rangers are to recover next season.
“We need to set standards in everything we do,” he said.
“From the first day of pre-season, it needs to be us that drives it.”

However, Moore’s immediate future rests in Tottenham’s hands, with Rangers left to reflect on a loan spell that showed promise, but ended in collective disappointment.
Moore’s situation is secondary to the wider rebuild already underway at Ibrox.
Whether he returns or not will ultimately be decided by Spurs, but the club’s direction next season will be shaped by a broader push for consistency, leadership and end product across the squad.
The focus now is on assembling a group capable of sustaining standards, rather than relying on individual loan returns to bridge the gap.
