John Souttar earns emphatic Rangers snipers defence as Connor Goldson takes aim at keyboard warriors

Convinced Connor Goldson believes John Souttar will be a Rangers star in the wake of his nightmare competitive debut against Livingston.

The 25-year-old toiled in his battles with Joel Nouble before being subbed off with the Ibrox side trailing 1-0. But Goldson has launched an emphatic defence of his defensive partner despite his early struggles at the Tony Macaroni Arena. Souttar earned a lofty reputation as one of the finest stoppers in Scottish football during his eye-catching displays with Hearts.

And Goldson is convinced the same will follow at Rangers as he took aim at early cynics who flooded social media with criticism of the Scotland international's performance in West Lothian. Souttar is in line to start against Union Saint-Gilloise in the Champions League in Belgium on Tuesday night.
