Gerrard sets Rossiter a ‘challenge’ before he’ll select him for Rangers

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has set Jordan Rossiter a “challenge” before he will consider selecting him for the first-team. He wants the midfielder to be in full training “week-to-week” and having his body conditioned so he can sustain more than one match a week for Rangers.

Rossiter joined the club from Liverpool in 2016 and has gone on to make 14 appearances in all competitions. He was left on the bench in Rangers 7-1 win over Motherwell on Sunday and has only made three appearances under Gerrard this season.

The 21-year-old has struggled with injuries ever since his switch from Anfield – spending 2016/17 sidelined with a calf injury that reared its head again the following season.
