Jim Goodwin had nothing but praise for Rangers midfielder Connor Barron ahead of Dundee United’s match at Ibrox. Goodwin, who had Barron under his charge at Aberdeen, highlighted the player’s great attitude, bravery, and comfort on the ball. He commended Barron for his versatility, noting his willingness to make tackles and his excellent range of passing.
Although Barron has shown promise, there is still room for improvement for the 22-year-old. He lacks a seasoned partner like Barry Ferguson or Steven Davies to fully unlock his potential. However, Barron’s style of play is reminiscent of Kevin Thomson – aggressive, dynamic, and determined to make an impact at Rangers. Despite his young age, Barron has not hesitated to vocalize his opinions to his more experienced teammates, showing his leadership qualities on the field.
One area where Barron has excelled is alongside Nicolas Raskin, with the two players forming a solid partnership in the midfield. However, they could benefit from a No.10 player in front of them to orchestrate Rangers’ attacking play while they focus on their defensive responsibilities.
Goodwin’s endorsement of Barron underscores the importance of having players who understand the demands of playing at a club like Rangers. Barron’s experience at Aberdeen and Kelty Hearts has prepared him well for the challenges of competing at Ibrox. With the right support and guidance, Barron has the potential to become a key player for Philippe Clement’s squad.
As Rangers prepare to face Dundee United, all eyes will be on Barron to see if he can continue his impressive form and help his team secure another victory. The young midfielder’s development will be closely monitored by fans and pundits alike, eager to see how he continues to grow and contribute to the success of the team.
