Connor Goldson isn’t averse to taking criticism if he hasn’t been at his best. Over four-and-a-half years at Ibrox, the Rangers stalwart has proved that he’s big enough to handle the flak.
But when his commitment is questioned? After 251 games for the club? That’s a different ball game. It hurt him at the time – and it still stings now. In June the 30-year-old centre-back signed a new long-term deal at Gers. But before that, for almost 12 months, there was constant speculation that he was allowing his contract to expire so he could move on.
The perception was that Goldson had his heart set on returning to England. But the big defender has revealed that was NEVER the case. Speaking at length for the first time about the biggest decision of his career, Goldson insists he always wanted to stay in Glasgow. Not being allowed by the club to speak publicly about his situation made Goldson feel uncomfortable.
