Steven Gerrard does not see a future for four first-team players at Rangers, according to The Scottish Sun.
What’s the story?
With Rangers heading to Portugal this weekend for a pre-season training camp, four players that had been expected to make the trip are in fact missing.
The Scottish Sun say that Kyle Lafferty, Graham Dorrans, Eros Grezda and Jason Holt have all been left behind in Glasgow and told to find new clubs.
The paper reckon that Gerrard has made it clear to all four he does not consider them part of his plans at Ibrox as they attempt to end Celtic’s dominance and win trophies next season.
The fans in the video below had some very strong words for Michel Platini who was detained over alleged corruption this week…
The right call?
The writing was on the wall for Jason Holt as early as last summer when he was sent on loan to Fleetwood Town in mid-June, with the then incoming Gerrard barely having the chance to consider his talents before axing him.
Kyle Lafferty and Eros Grezda were summer signings last year, but both attacking talents were massive disappointments, scoring just eight goals between them despite being given opportunities by the Gers boss.
Neither have much to offer moving forward, especially in light of new arrivals such as Greg Stewart, Jake Hastie, Sheyi Ojo and Jordan Jones.
Dorrans meanwhile has suffered from real injury problems since making the switch to Ibrox in 2017, managing just 23 appearances in two seasons.
He clearly doesn’t have the required fitness to feature regularly for the Gers and Gerrard has bolstered his midfield significantly in his absence with moves for Glen Kamara, Steven Davis and Scott Arfield.
Rangers won’t miss any of the players and the sooner they leave Ibrox, the better for the club.
