Defiant John Souttar says his Rangers career starts NOW after battling back from his injury hell.
Souttar signed for Gers from Hearts on a pre-contract but a cruel injury blow on his debut against Livingston set him back for more than six months. He sat out of the entire of their European campaign which saw a return to the Champions League and admits it hurt watching his teammates run out on the biggest stage without being able to be out there with them.
But Souttar has made his return under in recent weeks with substitute appearances against Kilmarnock and Raith Rovers in a major boost to Michael Beale's defensive options. Now, he has his sights set on Connor Goldson and Ben Davies and forcing his way into the back line. He told Rangers TV: "Pre-season was a bit of a struggle for me, obviously because I brought over an injury from Scotland in the summer. It was tough for me because I felt like I was always managing an injury.
