# Rangers: Whelan discusses George Edmundson

**Noel Whelan believes George Edmundson has played his last game for Glasgow Rangers and will therefore leave the club this summer.**

### **The Lowdown: Edmundson in the bad books**

Edmundson put himself in Steven Gerrard’s bad books when he broke coronavirus regulations to attend a house party towards the end of 2020 – both he and Jordan Jones ended up receiving a seven-game as a result ([BBC](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/55004563#:~:text=Scottish%20Football-,Rangers%3A%20Jordan%20Jones%20and%20George%20Edmundson%20banned,seven%20games%20for%20Covid%20breaches&text=Rangers%20say%20they%20accept%20the,for%20Covid%2D19%20related%20breaches.&text=The%20pair%20learned%20their%20punishment%20at%20an%20SFA%20hearing%20on%20Thursday.)).

The 23-year-old was soon out of the door at Ibrox – he spent the second half of the season on loan at Derby County in the Championship.

### **The Latest: On his way out**

[Speaking to Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/edmundson-has-played-his-last-game-for-rangers-after-source-reveals-update-today-pundit/), Whelan believes Edmundson’s career at Rangers is finished. He said:

> *“It was an easy sale when he got himself into bother.*
>
> *“He put himself in the shop window. Not through any performances but when you are ill-disciplined and you let the club down there is a good chance you’re going to be sold.*
>
> *“Money for a player you don’t want to have is fantastic. I think it’s best for both parties that he does leave in the summer.*
>
> *“I don’t think he has any hope of playing for Rangers again, he blew that opportunity. He brought the club into disrepute.*
>
> *“I don’t think Rangers will stand in his way and they have more than enough cover in his position.”*

### **The Verdict: Hard to disagree**

It is hard to disagree with Whelan in this case. Edmundson made 16 appearances for the Gers during the 2019/20 campaign, his first at the club, but even before his ban, he played just twice for the 55-time Scottish champions in all competitions last time out ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/george-edmundson/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/385848)) – he was never really a major part of Gerrard’s plans.

Valued at £450,000 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/george-edmundson/marktwertverlauf/spieler/385848)) and with [two years left](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/george-edmundson/profil/spieler/385848) on his contract, the Gers should at least be able to bring in a six-figure fee if they were to sell Edmundson. Given he appears to have no future at Ibrox, that would represent a good piece of business for Ross Wilson and co.
