Nathan Patterson says it was difficult to call time on his spell at Rangers - but it was a simple decision at the same time for his development.
The right-back joined Everton in January and after their successful Premier League survival bid last season, he has become one of their standout players so far this term. His opening six months were hampered by injury but performances against the likes of Liverpool have displayed the Rangers academy graduate's top tier talent.
He says each week provides new challenges at Everton, but it only serves to highlight why he left Ibrox for what many regard as the world's best league. Frank Lampard is his manager and former England full-back Ashley Cole is part of his coaching staff, on hand to provide Patterson with private tips for his improvement. Speaking to Toffees and Scotland hero James McFadden via the SFA, he reckons it's been a bright period in his career as he plays regularly for the first time.
