Rangers will give Arsenal youngster Nacer Barazite time to win a move to Ibrox. [LNB]The Dutch striker has only had a week of pre-season training but impressed Gers coach Ian Durrant in Tuesday's 2-1 friendly win over Glentoran. [LNB]The 20-year-old, who was recommended to the club by Gunners head of youth development and ex-Celtic boss Liam Brady, played for 77 minutes in Belfast and now has a chance to secure a season-long loan with the SPL champions. [LNB] Looking good: Barazite (left) was in fine form as Rangers beat Glentoran[LNB]'Considering he has only had a week of pre-season, I thought Nacer did well,' Durrant told the club's official website. 'You can see he has got a level of ability.[LNB] 'Having come from Arsenal, we knew that anyway and he showed up in parts of the match as a very good football player. [LNB]'We realised he would be a certain calibre of player and I'd like to see how he gets on over the next week or so. [LNB]'Once he gets a level of fitness over the next 10 days or so, I think we will be in a better position to judge. [LNB]'Hopefully we can work on Nacer over the next few weeks and get him to the point where we can perhaps do something.' [LNB]Barazite knows what it means to pull on the light blue jersey after speaking to countryman and former Rangers star Arthur Numan. [LNB]He said: 'I have met Arthur a couple of times and I have spoken to him about Rangers and his experiences.[LNB] [LNB] True Blue: Former Holland international Numan (top) had five years at Rangers[LNB]'As everyone knows, he is a big man at the club and he was a very good player so I know all about the team thanks to him. [LNB]'Liam Brady is someone who has been very good to me. He has taken me to Arsenal and I am very pleased he is trying to get me a big chance at Rangers.[LNB] 'It was a very good start for me (on Tuesday) and I am pleased with my own performance as I know I can do much better with more training. [LNB]'Moving to Rangers would be good for me. It would be a step forward, not back, because they are a very big club and they play in the Champions League.'
