Rangers winger Eros Grezda may be given a chance to shine soon.

Eros Grezda of Rangers looks on during the Ladbrokes Scottish Premier League between Celtic and at Ibrox Stadium on December 29, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Rangers only drew 1-1 at home with Kilmarnock on Saturday, but there may have been some signs of life from winger Eros Grezda.

The Gers needed an Alfredo Morelos goal to rescue a point, with fans left hugely disappointed as Rangers made it four games without a win.

There was at least some promise from Albanian wide man Grezda, who came on as a second half substitute for his first appearance since December.

A summer signing from Osijek, Grezda has largely disappointed so far, and Rangers fans have been left wondering whether he’ll ever live up to his billing.

Now though, Gerrard has told the club’s official website that right winger Daniel Candeias is exhausted, which would seemingly present Grezda with a golden opportunity.

Injuries and adaptation have limited Grezda’s impact this season, but it’s now time for him to step up and take his opportunity ahead of pre-season.

A strong end to the campaign can convince Rangers fans and staff that Grezda can in fact have a real future at Ibrox, with some already doubting his ability.

Gerrard’s comments suggest Candeias will be rested soon, and Grezda must prove those doubters wrong whilst finally paying back some of his transfer fee at Ibrox.
