The 22-year-old struggled against Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers, who reportedly want him.
Rangers fans on Twitter are calling for Steven Gerrard to drop his reported interest in John Souttar.
Gerrard’s side thumped Hearts 3-1 at Tynecastle on Saturday, in light of rumours about Rangers wanting to sign the centre-back.
According to The Daily Record, Gers’ Director of Football Mark Allen has identified the 22-year-old as a ‘top signing’.
The light Blues were 3-0 ahead by 48 minutes on a day when Souttar really struggled yesterday.
And fans of the Ibrox club have called on their side to avoid signing him.
The Glasgow Evening Times reported in midweek that Rangers may need to stump up around £2 million for Souttar which, if true, could still be a bargain.
Okay so he didn’t cover himself in glory on Saturday, but it’s worth remembering that he’s only 22 and will get a lot better.
For £2 million, there isn’t much to lose but a hell of a lot to gain.
