‘Top Notch’ ‘Immense Performance’ ‘Steal’ Rangers Fans On Twitter Feel Summer Signing Showed His Worth Last Night

Rangers defender Filip Helander has not been a regular in the team since his £3.5m arrival from Bologna in the summer, but the Swedish international showed supporters why the club shelled out the cash against Porto.

The 26-year-old was a commanding presence at the back as the Gers drew 1-1 in the Europa League last night. Fans on Twitter have been praising the centre-back for his display as Steven Gerrard’s men secured an important point:

There is fierce competition for places at centre-back and Helander has had to wait for his chance. He has started just seven matches since his move from Italy but it’s no coincidence that three of those have come in the three group games.

The Swede is used to the slower pace of European football, and he looks far more at ease playing in that environment. The next step will be to see whether he can manage to play week in week out in the Scottish Premiership.
