Plenty of Rangers supporters have been delighted with Connor Goldson since day one after joining from Brighton & Hove Albion this summer, but his performance as captain today has sparked a fresh wave of enthusiasm for the defender.
He was instrumental in the 2-0 victory over St Mirren at Ibrox this afternoon, taking the captain’s armband from James Tavernier, who was rested ahead of the clash against Maribor on Thursday.
He rose to head home the second goal of the afternoon and produced a solid defensive display to help keep a clean sheet despite the Gers playing the majority of the match with ten men.
Of all the signings so far since Steven Gerrard was appointed as manager, Goldson is looking like the best.
The defence was a key priority for the Liverpool legend arriving at the club and in both Goldson and Katic we now have the defensive platform to pick up consistent results in the Scottish Premiership.
These fans took to Twitter today to share their thoughts on Goldson’s performance…
Hold my hands up when i first heard Rangers were interested in Connor Goldson who had a heart issue i was against the move but the boys solid as a rock and an absolute star, done amazing to overcome his problem, Can't believe we got him for £3m daylight robbery, sorry Brighton

Connor Goldson is the player England wanted Kyle Walker to be.

Goldson could play the rest of the season with flippers on his feet and still be best centre half in the league

Happy with that despite the ref making another critical couple of errors. Goldson looking like a real bargain.
