Glasgow Rangers hero Michael Mols deserves his chance to heal wounds at former FC Utrecht, at least according to journalist Ben ten Boden, who covers how the striker is still loved by Philippe Clement’s side today.
Reports in the Netherlands have indicated that Mols has been invited for an interview or conversation with Utrecht in an attempt to fix a long-standing falling out with the club.
The news has been warmly welcomed by all, particularly after the Rangers former striker had a brain tumour removed last year, and Ten Boden covers him and the plans for DUIC.
He says it is to the club’s credit that they’re trying to heal old wounds with Mols, with them taking the initiative to hold such talks to their credit.
According to him the decision to sack Mols as manager years ago was a ‘huge blunder’, with him still well loved at the club following his playing days.
He was a hero for the Dutch side and that was demonstrate when he left for Rangers in 1999, with Ten Boden explaining that no other player has been sent off like the striker was.
He made a lap on honour following his last match for the club but did so in a Rangers shirt, something the fans didn’t mind, even throwing ‘hundreds of bunches’ of flowers onto the pitch for his hero before he moved to Ibrox.
Indeed, many of them even followed him to Scotland, with 150 travelling to a Rangers clash with Aberdeen at Ibrox, with Mols bagging two in that game.
He’s as equally loved by Rangers to this day, where the ‘red carpet still goes out’ every time he is around, and they’ve been sending their best wishes since the news of his tumour was revealed.
Like everyone else they’ll be hoping he can repair his relationship with Utrecht and heal that wound once and for all, with the Dutch club seemingly determined to do so and that credit to them as far as Ten Boden is concerned.
