Rangers manager Steven Gerrard
Gerrard, who was appointed as the Rangers manager in the summer, watched the England Under-21 side in action against their Scotland counterparts in midweek.
The Young Lions won 2-0, and Rangers manager Gerrard has suggested that he was scouting the match for players to bring to Ibrox in the January transfer window.
Gerrard told The Daily Record when asked if he was at the game to scout players: “Possibly, I’m not going to lie to you. I went to the game because it’s a juicy fixture, England-Scotland always is.
“Two of my players were playing for Scotland as well obviously, Ross McCrorie and Glenn Middleton, who I wanted to watch closely. But I wanted to have a look at what was about.
“A lot of players on show are at clubs but maybe not satisfied with the amount of games they’re playing,
“So I’m not going to sit here and lie and say I wasn’t there to see the talent. I thought it was an interesting game and the best team won on the night.”
Exciting
Gerrard’s comments suggest that he is interested in signing England Under-21 international players in the January transfer window.
There are a number of good and promising young players in that team, and it will be interesting to see which ones the Rangers boss goes for.
It is also very encouraging that Gerrard is looking ahead to making additions to his Rangers squad.
Rangers are going strong in the Scottish Premiership at the moment, but the Gers will need hungry and talented young players in January in order to boost their chances of winning the title.
