Why Gerrard signed young Rangers defender Worrall

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard revealed why he signed Joe Worrall on loan from Nottingham Forest. The young defender joined Rangers on a season-long deal and has been in and out of the side early on. Worrall has partnered the likes of Connor Goldson and Nikola Katic at centre-back and has been able to operate on the left-hand side of the defence.

Gerrard said Worrall being an option as a left-sided centre-back was why Rangers procured his signature. He told the Daily Record: “Joe was an opportunity, I was aware of him and we were looking for a player who could play on the left side as well”.
