But if Alex Neil had got his way, he wouldn’t be at Ibrox at all. The former Chelsea youngster joined Gers on a free transfer and has quickly emerged as a fans’ favourite down Edmiston Drive. And his new boss has most definitely been won over too by the 24-year-old’s ability to plug holes in a team that’s been repeatedly hollowed out by injury misfortune.
“I’m surprised he’s been playing midfield a lot for Rangers though. I think he did that when he was a kid but we predominantly used him as a right back or at left-back. We even used him at centre-back because he’s quick and powerful. But I’m not surprised to see that he’s broken his way into the Rangers team because I do have such a high opinion of him.
It was Michael Beale who left Neil disappointed when the former Ibrox boss won the chase to sign Sterling with an offer of a four-year deal. “But also the number of goals he scores. You just can’t remove them from your team. Like any good player, however, Dujon will adapt in the meantime and will find himself a slot where he can be affective and show that he’s got other stings to his bow. Clement will try to get as many of his best players on the pitch as he can, and the way upon has been performing, he’s certainly been one of them.”
