Glasgow Rangers midfielder is struggling for form at a key time, when Rangers need him most.
Rangers midfielder Ovie Ejaria needs to prove his early season performances were no flash in the pan.
Ejaria made an impact early on for Steven Gerrard’s side, and was especially bright in the Europa League.
In recent weeks he has struggled, ever since the Scottish League Cup final.
Rangers have been here before with loanees who flatter to deceive.
Last year Rangers got excited about the performances of loanee Sean Goss, who was excellent in his first two months at Ibrox.
After a poor display in the Old Firm derby, Goss lost his place, and never regained it back.
Ejaria is still a regular for Rangers, but on his recent displays, you have to wonder for how much longer?
Rangers are looking to strengthen in January and there is likely to be greater competition for his place in midfield.
Steven Gerrard has a lot of faith in the youngster, but he needs to step his game up.
If he doesn’t, he will find himself back in the same place as Goss, sitting on the sidelines for his parent club.
