Rangers winger Eros Grezda has disappointed at Ibrox.
Rangers winger Eros Grezda has suggested to The Scottish Herald that he has had a difficult two months at Ibrox – and has even compared boss Steven Gerrard with Christian Panucci.
The Gers snapped up wide man Grezda from Europa League opponents Osijek over the summer, with fans excited about his addition.
A direct, pacey wide man who impressed in Croatia, Grezda came with a burgeoning reputation, but has so far flopped at Ibrox.
Grezda has struggled to make an impact with the Gers, and his substitute appearance against Kilmarnock on Saturday afternoon was his first appearance since December.
The 23-year-old now heads away on international with Albania, and will be hoping to make an impact against Turkey and Andorra.
Grezda needs to get some form back, and hopefully a stint with Albania will get him firing again, especially ahead of the Old Firm derby later this month.
Now, Grezda has admitted that he has endured a tough time with Rangers, and feels ‘very good after his return to action on Saturday.
“I had a very difficult time in the last two months,” said Grezda. “When I was injured and they [the doctors] told me it was serious, the first thing that came to mind is not to lose my role in the national team.”
“So during the time I was injured I worked as hard as I could to meet those challenges. I trained privately with coaches and did extra to make sure I returned as quickly as possible. I came back to the team at the weekend and I feel very good,” he added.
Additionally, speaking to Gazetesi in Albania, Grezda has suggested that he likes both Steven Gerrard and Albania boss Christian Panucci, refusing to really compare the two as he feels both are ‘very professional’.
“They are two different types and I like both. They are both very professional,” he added.
