Leon King on his Rangers-daft family and the reason he swapped being a striker for defender

Leon King has opened up on his Rangers-daft family and how he used to play as a STRIKER.

The highly-regarded defender landed his latest first-team opportunity from boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst during the Champions League group stage opener against Ajax. The 18-year-old climbed off the bench for the second-half and helped the Ibrox men contain the Dutch giants in Amsterdam.

King played the full 90 minutes of the Premier Sports Cup win over Queen of the South with the rest of his time on the pitch coming off the bench so far this season. But after his mature showing last time out, he hopes to continue to help Rangers shut out opponents after back to back four goal defeats - including the Old Firm derby to Celtic.
