Joe Worrall did not always have the best of times at Rangers, and while we saw the potential of the defender during his loan spell at Ibrox under then manager Steven Gerrard, the Nottingham Forest defender did make mistakes that raised doubts over him.
The defender spent the 2018-19 season on loan at Rangers from Nottingham Forest.
Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard was in charge of the Gers at the time.
Joe Worrall played well in big matches for Rangers against Celtic and Aberdeen, but there were also mistakes, such as the one against Kilmarnock when he gifted a goal to Eamonn Brophy.
It was clear at the time that the defender was a work in progress and far from the finished article.
Worrall has developed and progressed a lot since then and is now a key player for Nottingham Forest.
