John Lundstram's Rangers form earns Celtic captain Scott Brown comparison

John Lundstram's impressive Rangers form this season has earned him a comparison to Celtic hero Scott Brown.

The 28-year-old has really come to the fore for Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men over the past number of months with his European performances especially impressing.

He's established himself as a fans favourite - and the winner against RB Leipzig on Thursday did nothing to harm that.

Tough-tackling midfield displays in the Old Firm derbies irked Hoops fans and sparked debate over whether he could've been sent off.

However, Frank McAvennie reckons Lundstram just does exactly what Broony used to when wearing green and white.

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."
