I'm lucky to be playing after car crash but my dream is to score for Gers again

FORMER Rangers starlet Dapo Mebude insists he'll never give up on his dream to pull on the light blue again just 10 months after a horror car crash left him in a coma.

The 23-year-old returned to Scottish football this month when signing a oneyear deal with Dunfermline.

But Mebude admits he feels blessed to still be kicking a ball at all, having been told by doctors in January he was lucky to be alive after his car tumbled down an embankment then crashed into a tree in Belgium.

The ex-Scotland Under-21 international was playing with KV Oostende at the time, having turned his back on a new contract offer at Ibrox in 2021 to sign for Watford.

The forward had been handed his debut by Steven Gerrard at just 17 in a league clash at Kilmarnock.

But with Alfredo Morelos and Jermain Defoe in his way, Mebude decided to chase first-team action down south before moving to Oostende.
