As the new season edges closer Rangers defender John Souttar is raring to go.
Arriving at Ibrox from Hearts after penning a pre-contract back in January, Souttar is gearing up for the 2022/23 campaign alongside his new teammates and boss Gio van Bronckhorst in Portugal. Despite being hindered by injury throughout the last few years, Souttar is looking forward to ramping up his game time with last season's Europa League finalists.
The Light Blues have their sights set on Champions League football group stages this coming season as they look to navigate the playoff rounds after their run to Seville. Souttar admits the lure of European football is one of the reasons the stopper was so keen to pull on the Rangers jersey this season, as he explained that the potential of Champions League clashes, as well as the opportunity to represent his country, are what he views as the pinnacle of his career.
