The inside view from the dressing room on a rocky road for Rangers
Connor Goldson is relaxing by the side of a pitch watching his son play. He’s got the shorts, shades and flip-flops on. And as he gazes into the Cypriot sun, he allows his mind to wander back to Glasgow.
And when Goldson reflects on where his old club is at the moment, he traces it back to Gerrard’s comments. In an exclusive interview with Record Sport , he said: “Winning that title was amazing and that group of players had such a strong bond. “We’re fortunate we had that year. But we wanted to kick on and win more. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen. We felt that was our chance to really progress and to stretch away from Celtic. That was our feeling in the dressing room.”
“I could feel it in the pre-season. The running we’d done the year before ... suddenly people didn’t want to do that anymore. I felt after that semi-final was the right time to say it and maybe it didn’t come across well. But when I was at the club, I felt I was the person who had to say things like that.
“Even during the season, when we’d dropped points and the title race was still close – I felt I had to say something to get a reaction. It didn’t go down well but if you look at how things have panned out, I think that I was right. When Steven left, standards got lower.” Hotline Live: Tune in and have your say In case you haven't heard, we've launched a new Hotline Live show, airing at 6pm every day, with the exception of Fridays and Saturdays.
