Sheyi Ojo has joined Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers on loan.
Andy Halliday has told Rangers TV that the Liverpool influence at Auchenhowie should ensure that Sheyi Ojo enjoys a smooth transition to life in Glasgow.
Rangers signed the 21-year-old on a season-long loan from Liverpool last week.
Ojo will know Gers boss Steven Gerrard and first-team coach Michael Beale from Melwood, while Jon Flanagan, who began his career with the Premier League giants, is also in Scotland.
Overall there is a healthy contingent of Reds-associated figures at Ibrox, and Halliday told Rangers TV that he’s optimistic that Ojo will adapt quickly because of it.
He said: “And Sheyi, I’d like to think it’s an easy transition for him as there’s a lot of ex-Liverpool players and staff here.
“The experienced players at the football club will try and help him settle in as best we can.”
But is Halliday forgetting about Ovie Ejaria?
Ejaria also joined Rangers on loan from Liverpool last summer, but he left the Scottish giants in December after struggling for form under Gerrard.
Yes, his team-mate Ryan Kent fared far better, but Ejaria may disagree that the abundance of Anfield connections can benefit Ojo, when it clearly didn’t help him all that much.
