Rangers Football Club has boasted a rich history of fantastic left-backs in my lifetime from Arthur Numan, Sasa Papac and for much of his time Borna Barisic. However, as with any team, there are always areas that require improvement. One such area is the left-back position, currently occupied by Borna Barisic. In this article I will explore why it is time for Ridvan Yilmaz to either get the chance to step up and replace Barisic as Rangers first choice left back or be moved on. Even though Yilmaz arrived for what Rangers would class as big money at £5min the summer of 2022 he has yet to make his mark on a consistent basis due to niggling injuries, loss of form and getting used to play in a different country. There is no doubt he has talent and hopefully we can see him flourishing this season and making that slot his own.
Rangers’ recent 1-0 home defeat against Celtic left many fans questioning whether manager Michael Beale is the right man to take the club forward.
Good books feel like they were written specifically for you. This vibrant and brilliantly researched study of the day Scotland defeated the reigning world champions on their home patch, the pitch on which they’d won the Jules Rimet trophy just months earlier, fills most of the gaps in even my dad’s taciturn recollections.
James Tavernier has undoubtedly made a significant impact at Rangers Football Club since his arrival in 2015 for £250,000. The English right-back has not only captained the team to a couple of trophies but has also etched his name in the club's history books and been inducted into our prestigious Hall of Fame and rightly so in my opinion. However, like any other player, Tavernier's tenure at Rangers has had its ups and downs which understandably splits opinion in our support.
Todd Cantwell’s move to Rangers in January raised a few eyebrows and sparked discussions among football fans as to why a player with such talent would want to play in Scotland. Despite a lack of game-time at Norwich before his move, Cantwell was a standout post-window and I firmly believe he has the potential to be the best player in Scotland this season. With his exceptional skillset, versatility, and hunger for success, the midfielder has all the ingredients to make a significant impact and dominate the league.
