Glasgow Rangers should make sure that Jordan Rossiter remains at Ibrox next season.

According to The Express, the future of Jordan Rossiter at Rangers is in doubt. The 20-year-old midfielder is among a number of players whose futures at the Gers are reportedly uncertain.

Rossiter joined Rangers in the summer of 2016 after leaving Liverpool. Much was expected of the youngster when he arrived at Ibrox, but the midfielder failed to make an impact.

The former England Under-19 international was able to make only four appearances in the Scottish Premiership last season, as he struggled with injuries.

It would be harsh of Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha to let go of Rossiter, as the former Liverpool prospect has yet to show what he is capable of.

The 20-year-old has been unlucky in terms of fitness, but there can be no doubt that he has quality in abundance and has a lot of potential.

Given that Rossiter is just 20 years of age, he showed be shown patience; the youngster is going to develop and improve further in the coming years, and Rangers would be making a mistake if they sold such a talented footballer after just one injury-ravaged season.

While Caixinha should be looking to assemble a team of super-fit players for the 2017-18 campaign, the Portuguese coach should have the club’s long-term interest in mind.

It would make Rangers look foolish if Rossiter leaves Ibrox and then achieves massive success at another club.

The Gers should make sure that the midfielder remains at the club, as he could be a valuable long-term player for them.
