The 26-year-old has endured a difficult start to life in Scotland, misfiring in front of goal and struggling with his overall performances.
And while Lammers' Ibrox career has yet to pick up, Hofland — who could have signed for the Ibrox side under Dick Advocaat — says he’s among the best players he’s ever coached.: “I worked with Sam all three seasons he was with PSV. He scored a lot of goals — he could score easily, with both feet and his head.
“In the Netherlands, newspapers compared him to Ruud van Nistelrooy. But at the club we didn’t put him under that pressure. “On and off the field he was a very good character. But I always encouraged him to try to be more aggressive. We stressed to him that really top strikers had to be selfish. “Then when I saw he’d moved to Scotland I hoped he had learned to be more physical, as the game in the UK is tougher than it is in Holland.
