Rangers winger Eros Grezda has received a vote of confidence from his manager.

Steven Gerrard has revealed that Rangers’ summer signing Eros Grezda could be in line to make his debut at the weekend in the home clash against Dundee.

The Gers are back in league action on Saturday after the international break and will be looking to respond to the 1-0 defeat against Old Firm rivals Celtic in their last game.

The Ibrox giants could use attacker Grezda for the first time since he joined, as he’s been sidelined through injury.

He is a 23-year-old right-winger that already has seven international caps for Albania and is a highly-rated talent.

“Grezda is at 70/80% so he is nearly there so could be involved [against Dundee]. He is an exciting player that will excite the fans,” Gerrard said in his pre-match press conference, as cited by the club’s official Twitter account.

Grezda impressed last season in the Croatian top flight with NK Osijek, scoring eight goals and supplying three assists in 37 games across all competitions from the wing.

He is a versatile attacker that can play on either flank or more centrally and he would love to break into the Gers first team quickly.

Rangers have looked a little short of options in the final third and are now set to have a tricky winger added to the mix, with league and European games coming thick and fast.
