Souttar defends Rangers after Old Firm draw

Football

Rangers defender John Souttar says fans should wait until the end of the season to judge the club's mentality.

John Souttar has defended the mentality of his Rangers teammates following a 2-2 draw against Celtic at Ibrox. The home side led the Scottish Premiership fixture 2-0 before conceding two late goals, leading to criticism from supporters regarding the squad's resilience. Souttar acknowledged that fans have a right to question the team but requested that final judgements be reserved for May, according to Sky Sports.

The Scottish international centre-back stated that the group remains united despite the result. Rangers currently trail Celtic in the league table as the title race enters its final stages. Manager Philippe Clement has also praised the character of his players recently, noting their comeback efforts in previous matches. Per reports from The Guardian, the draw leaves the gap between the Glasgow rivals unchanged. Souttar remains confident that the team can deliver success before the campaign concludes. Rangers next face an away trip as they look to maintain pressure at the top of the division.
