Pundit Michael Stewart reckons an unfamiliar position was behind John Souttar' s uncomfortable league debut for Rangers. And he reckons that's because the plan was never to play him as a left-side centre-back.
Souttar arrived from Hearts on a pre-contract move in the summer and was named in the starting XI alongside Connor Goldson for the opening day of the season. But it was far from a dream start as Souttar was shrugged off by Livingston's Joel Nouble for the opening goal.
Scotland cap Souttar looked out of sorts and he was subbed off in the second half, before Rangers mounted a dramatic comeback and clinched a narrow win at the Tony Macaroni. Pundit Stewart, speaking to BBC Sportsound during the second half, reckons that's because he was playing as a left centre-back - when he was accustomed to playing on the right of a three at Hearts.
