Let's be honest, good news stories have been a bit thin on the ground lately around Ibrox. For all sorts of reasons it’s been a difficult start to the season on and off the pitch and, at times, it’s felt like one kick in the teeth after the next.
But amongst all the doom and gloom, one man in particular is providing my old club with a bit of a shining light. Big John Souttar has been through the ringer himself over the years with all sorts of potentially career threatening injuries.
From the day he arrived at Rangers it’s felt like he’s been fighting a constant battle just to get himself up to full speed and get some regular games under his belt.
And that’s why I’m genuinely so pleased for him now that he’s finally emerging as the central defender that the rest of us always hoped he would become.
