A pair of Rangers and Celtic favourites are in agreement over one piece of Ibrox business this summer for an ex Leeds United man.
The Light Blues era under new head coach Russell Martin got off to the perfect start on Tuesday with a 2-0 win over Panathinaikos in the first leg of a second qualifying round match at Ibrox. It puts them in a strong position for the away leg next week and debuting in the game was summer signing Joe Rothwell.Arriving from Bournemouth in the summer, Rothwell was an important player as Leeds United made their way out of the Championship and into Premier League territory. His signing has united the Rangers and Celtic pundits, with ex midfielder Barry Ferguson plus Parkhead favourite Charlie Mulgrew agreeing it’s a shrewd addition to the Ibrox engine room.Speaking on Go Radio, former interim Rangers manager Ferguson said: “What I will say is there’s a lot of good players there. I just thought they needed a bit more experience, a bit of help, and I’m looking at the signings just now. I know there is a few young ones but they’ve obviously brought Joe Rothwell in who’s an experienced campaigner.
