FRANK MCAVENNIE has hailed Rangers midfielder John Lundstram and likened him to Celtic legend Scott Brown.
Lundstram has become a fan favourite at Ibrox and turned in some stunning performances of late after taking his time to settle into life in Glasgow.
The former Sheffield United man is now first on the team sheet for Giovanni van Bronkchorst and McAvennie reckons he has been key to Rangers' Europa League run.
He told Football Insider: "He's got pelters off the Celtic fans for being too rough in the midfield area.
"But Scott Brown used to get the same treatment from Rangers fans because he was like that.
"You need a player like that. Every team needs a player like that.
"He's come through after a tough start at Rangers, and he's done brilliantly.
"He played well against Leipzig, and they didn't let them settle whatsoever.
"I really wouldn't be surprised if they went on to win the tournament.
"Now the supporters know he's capable of performances like that, they'll be expecting it from him week-in, week-out."
