An unwanted distraction ahead of last night’s Europa League clash between Rangers and Rapid Vienna was the internet clean up that on-loan Liverpool winger Ovie Ejaria seemed to have embarked on.
It was reported yesterday that the 21-year-old could’ve had his loan agreement torn up and that he was on his way back to Liverpool after he appeared to delete his Twitter page and ‘unfollowed’ the club on Instagram, removing any mention of Rangers in the process.
The reports implied it was the true toys out of the pram moment from the youngster who has received good game time at Ibrox, despite what most fans consider to be very mixed performances.
Earlier today, manager Steven Gerrard stated simply that he would be talking with the player and his parent club to ‘discuss what is best’ moving forward, but if you are allowed to read between the line, he threw his toys, but we just haven’t stuck agreement to cancel his deal yet.
🎙️SG: I'll speak to Ovie Ejaria today & Liverpool to discuss what is best going forward for the player.

Reacting to the latest development, fans weren’t very sympathetic towards him.
He can't go forward, he just goes round in circles ????????

He has received pretty harsh criticism ( a bit over the top) recently but if he thinks he wouldn’t get that at Liverpool he is living a fantasy. This experience should have been part of the learning curve. If he can’t play through it he won’t make it

Clearly Glasgow isn’t for him. All the best for the future Ovie it was a good laugh.????

Get him out

Be no big loss if he goes to be honest. He had a couple week spell where he looked good. But looks disinterested now.

M74 onto the M6 if he leaves soon he should miss the peak traffic
