Commons says Ejaria has a “silky touch and good movement”

Kris Commons was full of praise for Rangers midfielder Ovie Ejaria, saying the 20-year-old has a “silky touch and good movement”. Rangers beat Hamilton Academicals 4-1 on Sunday, October 21, leaving them fifth in the Scottish Premiership with 17 points from 12 games. Ejaria didn’t score against Hamilton but he played his part in the victory and was lauded by Commons for his efforts.

Writing in his column for the Daily Mail, the former Celtic forward said: “I like Ovie Ejaria. He reminds me of Kanu, the former Arsenal striker. He looks quite gangly and unorthodox, but he’s got a silky touch and good movement.
