Gerrard: Rangers need to polish ‘diamond’ Sakala after Real Madrid goal

The Zambia star made his mark with his maiden goal for the Gers in their victory over Carlo Ancelotti's men on Sunday

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard is ready to help Zambian ‘role model’ Fashion Sakala become a better player after he scored a goal in their 2-1 win over Real Madrid.

A day after making his Rangers debut against Brighton & Hove Albion, the 28-year-old responded with his maiden goal for the club with the equaliser in Sunday’s victory at the Ibrox Stadium.

Sakala had barely trained with his new teammates for 10 days after the mandatory quarantine, but he has shown to be a promising talent in Gerrard’s team.
