Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers have a top-class defender in Connor Goldson.
Rangers took a big step toward reaching the third round of Europa League qualifiers on Thursday.
Steven Gerrard’s side beat Osijek 1-0 in Croatia to secure the victory and the all-important away goal.
It was their fourth successive clean sheet – three in the Europa League and a friendly win over Bury – and the Gers’ defence is looking as solid as anything at the moment.
One reason for that is Gerrard’s acquisition of Connor Goldson, who already looks like something of a gem.
The Ibrox outfit spent around £3 million [The Daily Record] on bringing him in from Brighton & Hove Albion, which is big money, but what a good deal that is looking like at the moment.
The 25-year-old hasn’t exactly faced stellar opposition yet, with last night’s win coming on the back of a 2-0 aggregate victory over Shkupi in the previous round, but he looks brilliant nevertheless.
Gerrard has been linked with a number of other players this summer, but it seems unlikely that he’ll make a better addition than Goldson.
Whatever Rangers do this season, Goldson will have a massive role to play.
