We asked for your views on Connor Goldson‘s exit and how his six years at Rangers will be remembered.
Here’s what some of you had to say…
Nigel: Sad to see him go and think it’ll be years before we can replace him. Unfortunately this generation’s fans have less patience and less respect for the club stalwarts and may not realise how big a loss he is until it’s too late.
Dougie: Rangers squad requires a full overhaul with younger players. Goldson is part of that overhaul required.
Alexander: Goldson served the club well and this should be remembered, but Rangers were wrong to give him a vastly improved contract second time round. This is a decision that the club is now paying for.
Jud: The big man served the club well and we shouldn’t forget that, like all humans he made mistakes but I liked him and wish him well for the future.
Scott: Best centre-back we’ve had in the last six years! Hounded out by fans who are desperate to blame him and James Tavernier for our failures. The board, managers and strikers who can’t finish their dinner are way above Goldson and Tav when looking who to blame. No doubt form dropped off, same as Tav, but the fans haven’t helped. Who are we going to boo now?
Gary: A dedicated club servant, he faced significant pressure from fans, likely impacting his confidence from time to time. During his injury spell, we sorely missed him in the Champions League. However, his failure to clear the ball in the Europa League final will always remain a mystery.
Kevin: Was a decent player, reliable and always a danger in the opposition box. In the last two seasons he became a danger in our box, injuries seemed to slow him and wasn’t the same level after he nearly left a couple of years back. Will be remembered but not always in the best way.
Allan: Goldson was the rock in the Rangers defence for years. He was a great servant to the club. But as his powers are on the decline, it is the right time to sell him. I wish him all the best.
Pedro: Gutted to see Goldson going. Solid, reliable centre-back who proved himself over the years. Worried about losing his experience in such a critical position with little cover. I hope we got good value for him.
Cameron: I think anyone who plays 300 times for Rangers should be treated as a fantastic servant to the club. But there is a time when someone should be moved on and his performances the last two seasons have been questionable. My worry now is replacing someone of his quality and ability to play 60 games a season!
