Van Bronckhorst may have decided to bin Goldson after Rangers reveal – Mills
Danny Mills has suggested Giovanni van Bronckhorst may have already decided to bin Connor Goldson at Rangers.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the ex-Premier League and England defender claimed Van Bronckhorst may see Goldson as a “problem” and “prickly”.
The defender caused a stir after the Gers’ League Cup semi-final defeat when he claimed, via FootballScotland, some of his teammates had lost their hunger.
Van Bronckhorst watched the 3-1 loss at Hampden from the stands and has kept Goldson in the side for his first two games in charge.
He played the full 90 minutes of their 3-1 win over Livingston today (November 28).
The 28-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and Mills has suggested the new manager may have already decided not to offer him a new deal.
He told Football Insider correspondent Connor Whitley: “You have to be careful about what you say and how it is interpreted.
“It is very easy to annoy fellow teammates and a new manager, especially.
“The best way is always to keep your head down and work hard in the first few weeks. Say all the right things even if you don’t mean it. Say the right things, do the right things, work really hard on the training ground and let the manager make his mind up.
“Already, he might be thinking ‘This guy might be a problem’, whether he is or he isn’t.
“People say don’t judge a book by its cover but first impressions count. If you’re thinking ‘This guy might be prickly, he might be tough to deal with, it might be worth letting him go’.”
