John Souttar Rangers minutes promise from Michael Beale rings true but defender suffers derby defeat

John Souttar was back in action for Rangers B after Michael Beale promised the long-crocked defender some minutes.

The former Hearts man has experienced a torrid time in the last year with injuries, rendering his move from the capital to Glasgow off to a stalled start. Souttar saw one league game for Rangers against Livingston before being hampered by a long-term knock but the weekend against Kilmarnock saw a cameo appearance of one minute.

But the 26-year-old was in from the start alongside fellow injured star Ridvan Yilmaz in the Glasgow Cup against Celtic B, which the Light Blues would go on to lose 3-1. The Turkish defender has also been a point of contention this season after sealing a hefty price tag with his move from Besiktas in the summer despite only a handful of displays.
