Nathan Patterson wants eventual Rangers return, he has ‘unfinished business’ at Ibrox
Nathan Patterson has revealed that he wants to return to Rangers one day as he feels he has “unfinished business” at Ibrox.
The young defender left the club in a club-record sale when he joined Everton last January for £16m, and has shown his quality by displacing Seamus Coleman as first-choice under Frank Lampard.
But while Rangers are struggling for form this season Patterson told MailSport, via Daily Record (11 December) that he wants to return one day and get more titles after being part of the squad that won number 55.
“Of course I’d love to go back to Rangers later on in my career and finish what I started,” he said.
“It would be great to finish at Ibrox. It’s where I started off my career so it would be nice to play in front of those fans again.
“There’s a bit of unfinished business for me. I was involved in 55 but I’d like to go back and get more titles.”
Disaster
Nobody understood the decision to let Patterson leave last year despite the money on offer because of his quality and the obvious hole it would leave, and the decision looks worse now.
He has gone on to become the defender that we all knew he could be, playing and starring in the Premier League while we rely on James Tavernier far too much because of a lack of cover.
Obviously the big fee played a part, and the fact that he was behind Tav in the pecking order, but the team is never going to progress if we keep selling quality players that could step up and take the team to a new level.
It’s great that he still feels as though Ibrox is his home and he wants to return, but realistically it won’t be any time soon and if it does happen at all it’ll be when he’s older and likely past his prime.
