The defender believes there will be many more Ibrox milestones with Clement driving standards after reaching one on Saturday.
On Saturday, Connor Goldson became the Rangers’ 300th gamer. However, the massive defender argues that down-to-earth approach has given him plenty of miles left in his 31-year-old tank.
More significantly, he thinks the Ibrox team still has a lot of way to cover as they surge through the gears beneath the Belgian. It was one thing to storm to the top of the table and take pride in their position against Hearts on Saturday.
However, Goldson asserts that they won’t be satisfied until they reach the finish line. And so be it if that means striving for more, even with a 5-0 lead over the top team in the Premiership. The Englishman was rather unsatisfied with the ninety minutes in which
“The manager wants six if we get five, and seven if we get six.” Hence, it is most likely a small amount of that, applying pressure to score even higher. We gave up too many transitions and, in my opinion, could have managed it better by keeping the football under more control.
“However, we’re doing well; we have a lot of confidence and are winning games, which boosts confidence.” We’re putting in a lot of effort, and you can see how far the boys are travelling in that game.
We’re winning football games because of our diligence, quickness of thought, and ability to counterattack while we’re on the defensive. Teams find it more difficult to come here with a
Saying, “Yes, running wisely!” It’s different in terms of running. That’s simply how he wants us to play. He wishes for us to cease retaliating. He wants us to press all the way up to the strikers if we have a team on the edge of the box so they are unable to turn and get the ball. We are maintaining more clean sheets as a result of the boys pressing higher up the pitch.
“We’re following them as far as the striker will go. He simply wants to put an end to transitions, which I believe we were aware of a few times early in the season. Yes, it’s good, and I’m having a great time with it.
Furthermore, Rangers’ three January additions, Oscar Cortes, Mohamed Diomande, and Fabio Silva, have all settled in quickly and contributed goals to the team’s victory over Hearts on Saturday.
All of this strengthens Goldson’s overall strength, which he feels will be enough to fend off Celtic’s charge and win a second Scottish title.
He stated: “I think you look at it now, even the five substitutions we made against Hearts, we bring on Raskin, Wright, McCausland, Fabi, and Kemar. We knew we needed quality and the squad needed a few more players.”
“It makes a big difference when you can do that after 60, 70, or 80 minutes, especially with the tempo we’re trying to play at.”
After being enticed to Glasgow by Steven Gerrard in a £3 million transaction in the summer of 2018, Goldson has been a pillar at the back for Rangers.
After the Ibrox team claimed the League Cup in December, he added the Scottish Cup and Premiership trophies to his collection of winning medals.
