Cedric Itten has a couple of Rangers goals in his last three games and the Swiss international is beginning to show signs that he is settling into life in Glasgow.

After coming on for Jermain Defoe against Motherwell, he played a key role in helping to break down the two banks of five and scored the all important second goal as Steven Gerrard’s side eventually overcame the less-than adventurous visitors, as reported by The Scottish Sun:

“I was really pleased for Cedric, he showed real desire to get in there and score because at 1-1 the game was there to be won.

What’s impressed me about Itten – rated at around the £3.5million mark –  is that he has adapted to the physicality of the Scottish game immediately and has shown that he is not just a target man, he’s got a good touch, can run the channels and – when he is given the chance – has shown that he can be effective in and around the box, his goals to chance ratio is beginning to look pretty impressive.

Have you been impressed with Itten so far?

Yes

Yes

No

With Kemar Roofe and Alfredo Morelos in front of him, he was never going to be thrown straight in at the deep-end but he has certainly shown enough to suggest that he could be trusted in the future.
