Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers lost a good player in Ovie Ejaria a couple of months ago.

It looks like Ovie Ejaria might’ve landed on his feet since quitting Rangers.

Ejaria, who joined Rangers on a season-long loan from Liverpool last summer, cancelled his contract at Ibrox in December for football reasons.

Gers boss Steven Gerrard said he respected the youngster’s decision, but admitted that he wanted the 21-year-old to stay in Glasgow [The Scotsman].

He joined Championship side Reading nearly immediately, and he might’ve just had his best game for the Royals.

Ejaria played the full 90 minutes as Jose Manuel Gomes’s side held Aston Villa to a 0-0 draw on Saturday, and here’s what fans said about the former Rangers midfielder on Twitter afterwards.

Ejaria is clearly a fine talent and although it didn’t work out at Rangers, consistency – or perhaps a lack of – was his major problem.

He only managed to score once in 14 Scottish Premiership outings for the light Blues, but did score one stunner in their Europa League preliminary games.
