Rangers star Connor Goldson has impressed this season – and has now received praise from a former teammate.
The centre back has been a mainstay for Steven Gerrard this season, making 23 appearances across all competitions.
He’s played every league game, every Europa League group stage game, he is just virtually undroppable for Gerrard.
The 27-year-old has had his ups and downs at Rangers since arriving from Brighton in 2018, but he has made himself a hero this season.
Goldson scored twice away at Celtic to give Rangers a 2-0 win, and it now seems likely that he will end up signing a new deal to stay beyond 2022, when his current contract ends.
Now, ex-Brighton teammate Gordon Greer has told The Scottish Sun that he can ‘definitely’ see Goldson becoming Rangers captain one day.
James Tavernier is firmly entrenched in that role right now, and their similar ages means that Goldson may have a wait on his hands.
Still, this is how Goldson is considered. Greer hailed him for voicing his opinion and always being consistent, aspects which have made him so important for Gerrard.
“He’s always had so much going for him. He’s a big boy and he can defend. He can pick out a pass too,” said Greer. “He wants to work hard and learn. When you feel confident in yourself you are more willing be vocal on the park. That has shone through this season with Connor.”
“I can definitely see him as a future Rangers captain. He’s in a good place and he’s prepared to voice his opinions. He’s a player the manager really depends upon now. He always had these characteristics, they are just coming to the fore now. His consistency levels are excellent,” he added.
