Connor Goldson admits it was a reality check moment when he got injured against Liverpool and spoke with John Souttar.
The key Rangers defender had played almost every game over the course of his Ibrox spell under Steven Gerrard and Gio Van Bronckhorst before suffering a big blow against Liverpool in the Champions League thrashing in October. It meant the Light Blues were without a huge character in the dressing room until Goldson was able to return against Aberdeen this week.
And the defender has been lifting the lid on his time spent on the sidelines, revealing that Ibrox teammate John Souttar was the first to console him on his knock. The former Hearts man has been plagued by long-term injuries, shown by the fact that he has only managed one appearance for Rangers before being ruled out for months with a fresh knock. Souttar was expected to be available after the World Cup break but there is no word on his current status.
