Steven Gerrard has got off to a good start at Rangers, which can only be a good thing for the new manager and Glasgow club.
Gerrard was taking a necessary risk leaving the Liverpool cocoon for a difficult job at Rangers and he’ll know he needs to have at least partial success if it’s to be a positive mark on his management CV.
One player who hasn’t really been a part of it yet for Rangers this season is Umar Sadiq. The 21 year old joined on loan from AS Roma this summer, but hasn’t yet had a part to play for Gerrard’s team.
Dutch newspaper AD say that despite Sadiq being given the number 9 shirt, it’s been the more trusty Alfredo Morelos getting the nod and the new boy is a ‘bench-sitter’.
Sadiq did reasonably well for NAC Breda last season, also on loan, but that doesn’t seem to be money in the bank as far as Rangers are concerned.
