Rangers ace John Souttar lauded by David Edgar after what he did

David Edgar has lauded Rangers centre-back John Souttar for his performance for Scotland v Portugal on 15 October.

The Gers defender played the full 90 minutes and managed to keep a clean sheet with the scoreline 0-0 at the end.

The Portugal attack comprised of big names like Cristiano Ronaldo, Diogo Jota, Bruno Fernandes and Rafael Leao.

Edgar, the Heart and Hand podcast host, wrote on X: "Thought John Souttar was excellent tonight."

John Souttar must keep up such consistent performances for Rangers and Scotland

It was heartening to witness Souttar's mature and composed performance against Portugal, especially given the formidable attack he faced.

Keeping a clean sheet with the world class names trying to break through is no small feat.

The 28-year-old's ability to remain unflappable under such pressure not only highlights his growing confidence and defensive acumen but also his tactical awareness on the international stage.

This display of resilience and skill bodes well for Rangers, where fans and the hierarchy will undoubtedly hope to see this level of performance replicated.

His solid showing could bolster Gers' defence, providing stability and leadership at the back and a new deal seems to be on the cards.

Hopefully, this match will serve as a confidence booster for Souttar, encouraging him to bring this same level of maturity and defensive prowess into the Ibrox outfit's setup, potentially elevating the team's backline and contributing significantly to their campaign.
