Ryan Jack has been brilliant for Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers.
Steven Gerrard has told The Daily Mail he doesn’t understand why Rangers midfielder Ryan Jack doesn’t get more caps for Scotland.
Jack impressed in Rangers’ midfield again on Saturday by scoring in the 3-1 win away to Hearts.
In doing so, the former Aberdeen man notched his fourth Premiership goal of the season.
Jack is one of several Gers players who looks to have come on a level since Gerrard took the reins last summer, but the 27-year-old only has the two caps for his country.
He has been booed on previous appearances for Scotland over his decision to join Rangers from Aberdeen, and Gerrard just doesn’t understand why Alex McLeish – sacked earlier this week – didn’t give him more call-ups.
He told The Daily Mail: “Jack has been my most consistent midfielder from the start of the season, I can’t figure out why he doesn’t get more Scotland caps. I can’t understand that.”
Given the obvious dearth of talent in Scotland’s national team, overlooking players like Jack hasn’t been a smart option, but it happened nonetheless.
He played just the once under McLeish – a second-half substitute against Belgium in September – but his successor could and probably should appreciate the Ibrox star more.
