Former Ranger with fantastic first goal for new club – watch here

Yesterday, Graham Dorrans scored his first goal for new club Western Sydney Wanderers and as you can see from the clip below, he certainly enjoyed it!

The former Rangers midfielder produced a moment of great individual ability for the first equaliser in his team’s 2-2 draw, away to Macarthur FC in the Australian A-League.

Absolutely incredible 👏

Dorrans, 33, is captain of the Sydney based club where Kenny Miller is the assistant manager to boss Carl Robinson, who he played under in MLS with Vancouver Whitecaps.

Wanderers are currently 4th in the 12-team league.

The former Scotland international player recently spoke of the freedoms he is enjoying at present in Australia with covid restrictions much less stringent than at home in the UK due to the significant difference in severity of the pandemic in both locations, much to the envy of those close to him.

He said, “Back home, they’re really struggling at the minute, a little bit more than here.”

“I know there has been a small outbreak (in Sydney) but I don’t think it’s anything compared to what it’s like back home.”

“In Scotland everything closed down, all shopping centres, restaurants – families are stuck in the house, which is difficult.”

“I’ve had messages and phonecalls from my mates, they’re very jealous that we can get out and about and fans can get into the games – they all follow football and have been disappointed the whole season.”

“Fans make football and it’s not easy when they’re not at the games.”

“When you’re pushing for a goal in the last 10 minutes or you’re defending for your life in the last 10 minutes, you want to have the fans behind you either way. It gives you an extra five, 10 per cent maybe if they’re on your side.”
