Michael Mols knows a thing or two about making a fast start at Rangers. The Dutchman came out the blocks at Ibrox like Usain Bolt wearing a jet pack as be blasted 13 goals in his first 20 games to earn instant hero status with Gers fans before hitting the buffers with that brutal injury at Bayern Munich.
Mols is the perfect man to hand out advice to the Light Blues new boys Rabbi Matondo and Tom Lawrence – and especially striker Antonio Colak. The Croatian’s hopes of a debut goal were dashed by the floodlight failure against Sunderland in the Algarve but Mols reckons the former POAK and Malmo poacher’s goal record suggests he can get off to a flier in Glasgow.
And he knows what it takes. Mols was a big money arrival from Utrecht when Dick Advocaat stumped up £4m for his services. But the frontman hit the ground running – by being his own man. Mols said: “It’s always important to get off to a good start when you sign for Rangers.
