‘He Is A Top Player’ ‘An International Class Operator’ Fans Praise Rangers Star Who Beale Described As “Fantastic” After Hibs Display

Rangers manager Michael Beale was full of compliments for John Souttar after the 26-year-old marshalled an inexperienced back four during the 3-1 win over Hibernian on Sunday.

With Connor Goldson sidelined, Souttar was partnered with Leon King in the centre of defence. Ridvan Yilmaz was also selected at left-back and Beale says Souttar’s experience helped those around him:

“We had strong performances throughout, I think John Souttar was absolutely fantastic alongside young Leon.”

Fans on Twitter echoed Beale’s remarks, but many feel that Souttar has to stay fit in order to be a key player for the Light Blues:


Souttar has been fully fit for the best part of six weeks, and it looks as if he has finally shaken off that terrible ankle injury which plagued him for the majority of his first season at Ibrox.

The campaign is probably coming to an end at the wrong time for the Scottish international and it will be hoped that he doesn’t have any problems over the summer before the next campaign begins in July.
