The Scotsman have revealed that Glasgow Rangers defender Connor Goldson has played more minutes this season than any other player in Europe.

This has been a long season for the Gers, who have already played 35 games in all competitions (Transfermarkt).

Goldson, though, has been an ever-present for Steven Gerrard’s side, completing every single match from start to finish – that equals 3,150 minutes of action, more than any other player across the continent.
Gerrard’s Mr. Reliable
It is difficult to explain how important Goldson has been to the Ibrox outfit so far this campaign. Gerrard has had some problems in regards to the availability of his centre-backs – Leon Balogun (The Daily Record), Filip Helander (Glasgow Live) and Nikola Katic have all spent parts of the season on the sidelines, while George Edmundson picked up a seven-game ban for breaking lockdown regulations (BBC).

Through all of that, though, the Gers have been able to rely on the £4.95m-valued former Brighton defender. Earlier this season, the boss said Goldson is in a “fantastic place”, and it is hard to disagree. As we approach the business end of the campaign, Gerrard will know that his centre-back is a player he can continue to count on.
In other news, Rangers fans are far from happy with this journalist’s tweet.
