A total of five different Rangers players were involved in UEFA Nations League matches yesterday as the club flexes its international muscles.
Rangers have come a long way in a short period of time and now boast a squad full of international talent; something which was very much evident over the weekend.
Starting on home soil, Rangers midfielder Ryan Jack made a late cameo in the nation’s 1-0 win over Slovakia.
Goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin never made it off the bench for the Dark Blues but the nation is now unbeaten in seven matches.
Ulster duo Steven Davis and Jordan Jones were also involved for Northern Ireland as they fell to a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Austria at Windsor Park.
Both home nations deserve massive credit for overcoming tough qualifiers on Thursday of last week to set up crunch UEFA Nations League playoffs for a place at EURO 2020.
Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara also played a full 90 minutes for Finland as the talented former Arsenal youth continues his development into their midfield lynchpin.
Kamara, 24, is a key player for the ever-improving Finnish national team and helped them to a 2-0 win over Bulgaria in Helsinki.
Rangers midfielder Ianis Hagi was also powerless to resist as an Erling Braut Håland inspired Norway downed Romania 4-0, with the Dortmund striker netting a hattrick.
Had everyone been fit these wouldn’t have been the only players representing Rangers on what would’ve been a special international showcase of the club’s talent.
There are mounting fears over the fitness of Rangers defender Borna Barisic after he was excluded from Croatia’s 2-1 win over Sweden.
Swedish international defender Filip Helander was also sent home from the Scandinavian nation’s squad with a “light injury” last week.
