Nathan Patterson has lifted the lid on the key differences between playing for Rangers and playing in the English Premier League.
The Scotland star's meteoric rise saw him courted by Everton in the January transfer window with a big-money move sealed away from his boyhood club in Rangers. Patterson's development at Ibrox from academy to first-team was a point of pride for the youngster and the Ibrox club, but the kid was unable to unseat captain James Tavernier as a regular fixture in the Rangers starting eleven.
Patterson found it tough initially at Goodison, playing just 45 minutes of action in his first season on Merseyside before impressing Frank Lampard and being selected in a highly-competitive role alongside club captain Seamus Coleman. While the defender has continued to impress for Steve Clarke's side, he feels the league down south offers higher-quality opposition for him to pit his wits against.
