Glasgow Rangers continued their fine pre-season form in the Veolia Trophy as they beat Nice 2-0 to win the competition.
The Gers had already beaten Lyon by the same scoreline before this match, but they were in no mood to take their foot off the gas as they completed a deserved victory over the Ligue 1 side. Jermain Defoe scored the opener, before Jamie Barjonas scored the second to give the Ibrox outfit the win.

There were plenty of impressive performances amongst the ranks of Steven Gerrard’s squad here, but George Edmundson was unfortunately not one of them as per the club’s supporters. In all fairness, he did help the team keep a clean sheet, but it was his passing, for example, that appeared to worry the 54-time Scottish champions’ faithful.

They took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the 22-year-old – one fan called him a “sloppy” – and you can see some of the best comments from the social media platform below.
Edmundson’s passing is going to be a liability in the league .

Not keen on Helander either, albiet its early days for him. His severe lack of pace is worrying.
I think Edmundson will become a very good CB. I just don’t trust him enough yet to play majority of games.
Incredible the grieff Goldson gets, he is our best defender by a distance.— Faceless 👤 (@FacelessRanger) July 18, 2020
Tav and Edmundson are giving me the fear.

Thoughts from this pre-season tournament:
New Keeper looks decent
Edmundson is a bomb scare with his passing
Aribo is really tidy with his footwork but needs to learn to pass in front of a man
Jamie Murphy can go any time— Rossc14rvl (@rossc14rvl) July 18, 2020
Aribo looked like a leader out there today. Edmundson looked a little sloppy though – that worries me going into the season.
