Turkey boss Stefan Kuntz reckons Rangers is the perfect place for Ridvan Yilmaz to develop as he vowed to keep the injured Ibrox star in his thoughts.
The German says the 21-year-old will prosper from working with under-fire manager Gio van Bronckhorst. Left-back Yilmaz had shown glimpses of his talent after finally breaking into van Bronckhorst’s first team last month following his summer move from Besiktas.
But the 21-year-old broke down with a hamstring injury just eight minutes into his seventh appearance for the Light Blues against Aberdeen earlier this month. That ruled him out of joining up with Kuntz’s squad to face Scotland. The former striker - a Euro 96 winner with Germany - said: “First he had to get over the emotion of leaving Besiktas - one of the biggest clubs in Turkey. “I saw Rangers in the final against Frankfurt so I was thinking this is a good decision for Ridvan ’s development.
