The American right-back hasn’t played a Premiership game for Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers this season.
Michael Beale has revealed that Rangers duo Jamie Murphy and Matt Polster are training very well.
Murphy hasn’t kicked a ball for the Gers in a competitive setting since last August due to a knee injury, while Polster, who moved to Ibrox in January, hasn’t even made the bench for a Premiership game this season as of yet.
Rangers failed to get a short-term loan for the Scottish winger this past summer, with the additions of Jordan Jones and Ryan Kent making him surplus to requirements.
But Polster, a USA international, only has James Tavernier to compete with at right-back.
Beale told Rangers TV: “Jamie Murphy I’m pleased to report, is training ever so well as well off a horrific injury really.
“That takes time to get strength in your legs and your confidence, so Jamie’s coming back. So we really do have strength in depth. Matt Polster is also training fantastically well.”
In terms of competition, it’s definitely easier for Polster who, as mentioned, hasn’t got players like Kent and Jones ahead of him in his position.
But it’s worth noting that Tavernier is virtually never injured for Rangers and the likelyhood of him playing ahead of the popular right-back is very slim.
Still, it is reassuring to know that both are training well.
