GLASGOW, SCOTLAND - OCTOBER 03: Rangers' Connor Barron and James Tavernier look dejected after Lyon's Alexandre Lacazette scores to make it 2-1 during a UEFA Europa League Matchday Two League Phase match between Rangers and Olympique Lyonnais at Ibrox Stadium, on October 03, 2024, in Glasgow, Scotland.

After Cantwell, Raskaaaaaaaaaa, Cifuentes and Diomande the title was hanging on the shoulders of Connor Barron as the Great Hope of Ibrox (August & September 2024).
A tidy and competent midfielder if taking the ball from centre-backs advancing 10 yards then passing to a full-back is your thing, beyond that he is extremely limited. As Aberdeen fans knew only too well.
Without Barron the Dons have a 100% record, with Barron at Ibrox Phil Clement also has a 100% record, in the games that matter against Dinamo Kiev, Celtic and Lyon.

Oh I would love to imagine if we managed to score our sitters our and not give away goals- but hey we are Rangers
The moment of truth last night arrived in the 19th minute, taking a ball from Robin Propper inside his own half Barron’s natural instinct was to play the ball backwards.
Malick Fofana was on it like Daizen Maeda, raced forward as John Souttar retreated then switched play to Alexander Lacazette who slammed the ball low into the net.
All eyes inside Ibrox fell on Barron, the myth was demolished with only Jefte to compete with for the title of the star summer signing.
Meanwhile Steely and the rest of the bears will be pining for a ew pin up in January, probably brought in by Clement’s successor.
