Rangers fans have been stunned by Connor Barron after he told the media he does not use social media, leading to high praise at Ibrox.

This comes just days after his teammate Todd Cantwell was spotted calling out fans on social media as frustrations boiled over.

Barron, 21, arrived in Glasgow from Aberdeen upon the expiry of his contract and already has Rangers fans tipping him to make a big impact.

It hasn't taken long for the new signing to excite fans at Ibrox and they will be looking forward to seeing him don the blue shirt for the first time.

Frustration at Cantwell's online antics has been bubbling for a while, and Barron's interview has provided a nice change of pace for the supporters.

Fans went as far as to suggest Barron could find himself in the Gers Hall of Fame in years to come, with another commenting that he is already a "potential captain".

Speaks very well for a lad his age, especially having just made a big step up to a big club from a diddy club. Carries himself like a potential captain down the line.

One of the best and most refreshing signing interviews I’ve ever seen. I was so excited with Barron signing because of his abilities but after hearing him talk I’m now even more excited because of his mindset and attitude it’s superb. For someone so young having that it’s amazing https://t.co/kZ72gKJmMi

Don’t go on social media that’s not my job, Cantwell and our captain should take note. Social media is fine if we win trophies, otherwise absolute no.

Speaks well despite some horrific and repeated questions. Like the fact he stays off social media as a young player and seems to have the guy mindset at least to be at rangers

Solid head on him. Handled those questions well. Tav could learn a thing or two from him.

Sounds like he gets its already.
Mature head on him, hopefully got a player that we can develop.
