Rangers defender Kyle Bradley has told The Glasgow Evening Times that he has been watching new Ibrox signing Connor Goldson closely in training.

Steven Gerrard’s Rangers have signed Goldson from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer transfer window.

According to The Glasgow Evening Times, the Gers had to pay Premier League club Brighton a transfer fee of £3 million in order to secure the services of the 25-year-old central defender.

Bradley is only 19 years of age, and it would take the teenager a while to establish himself in the Rangers first team.

The Scottish youngster has stated that he is learning from Goldson during training sessions.

Bradley told The Glasgow Evening Times: “It has been great working with the other centre-halves, and especially someone like Connor, who is a Premier League standard defender.

“I watch him closely and see what he does in training and how he prepares for games. He is someone that I can look up to and take tips from.

“He is a really good voice in the dressing room and you can see his leadership skills. You always hear him and he is always positive so he can be a really good role model for someone like myself.”

Big impression

Goldson has already established himself as a key figure for Rangers, and the former Brighton defender seems to have made a strong impression on Bradley.

The 25-year-old struggled to play regularly for Brighton over the past two seasons, but the defender showed his quality during his time at Shrewsbury Town.

Rangers will be aiming to challenge Old Firm rivals Celtic for the Scottish Premiership title next season.
