Andy Walker in Leon King Rangers 'don't want him to start' fans claim as he looks towards new season

Andy Walker has claimed Rangers fans DON'T want to see Leon King start next season.

The former Celtic striker and pundit believes the Light Blues faithful would rather an experienced and recognised defender to be starting the new campaign and not the youngster when Michael Beale's new-look side take to the field.

The 19-year-old was thrown in the deep-end under Giovanni van Bronckhorst due to an injury crisis at Rangers meaning he was played against the likes of Liverpool and Napoli in the Champions League while picked up vital experience in the Scottish Premiership. Connor Goldson and Ben Davies have been the preferred duo of late but John Souttar is now back fit an impressing. The first choice pair have been ruled out injured in recent weeks allowing King starts against Hibs and Hearts. He didn't do too much wrong in both games.
