Glasgow Rangers signing Graham Dorrans plays with West Ham United winger Robert Snodgrass for the Scotland national football team.
Scottish Premiership giants Rangers have recently completed the signing of Dorrans from Norwich City in the Championship in England.
According to The Scottish Sun, the Gers had to pay Norwich a transfer fee of £1.5 million in order to secure the services of the former West Bromwich Albion midfielder.
Snodgrass, who is 29 years of age and is a Celtic fan, played with Dorrans at Livingston and is teammates with him at the Scotland national football team.
The former Leeds United and Norwich star, who cost West Ham £10.2 million in transfer fees when he made the switch from Hull City in the January transfer window as reported by BBC Sport, has revealed that the way the new Rangers signing has changed his game has surprised him.
The 30-year-old Scotland international initially made his name as a winger who loved scoring goals, but he has now reinvented himself as a combative central midfielder.
“I didn’t see it coming, I just didn’t picture him playing that kind of role,” Snodgrass told The Daily Record about Dorrans about his positional change.
“For me he was always an attacker and now he’s playing more as a sitting midfielder. He’s always had the passing range but I was just so used to seeing him in a more attacking role.
“I think the biggest change in his game was when Roy Hodgson became manager at West Brom. He changed a lot of Graham’s style and adapted the way he played – and it has worked.”
Rangers will be aiming to challenge Old Firm rivals Celtic for the Scottish Premiership title next season.
