Although Steven Gerrard is happy to play the waiting game to bring Ryan Kent back at Ibrox, the other Liverpool youngster is making headlines following a dream start to his Rangers career. Sheyi Ojo had a dismal spell in Ligue 1 last season with Stade de Reims and has little hope of breaking into Klopp’s plans despite penning down a new contract before completing his season-long loan earlier this window.
Ojo has made 13 senior appearances for the Reds but slipped down the pecking order amid successive injury setbacks. At 22, the clock is ticking for the youngster to find stability somewhere. A couple of stunners in Rangers’ Europa League contests against St Joseph’s of Gibraltar and FC Progrès Niederkorn of Luxembourg have handed him a perfect start to his new venture.
The fans are dreaming of reclaiming the Scottish crown dethroning Celtic, and the England youth international has fired a warning shot by claiming that the Bears’ are the best team in this country.
“I think Rangers are the best team in the league. It is just about us proving we are the best team and doing really well this season. We haven’t played Celtic yet and the season hasn’t started, but I feel like Rangers are the best team.”
Stated Ojo (as quoted by the Scottish Sun) who is confident of winning the Premiership this term drawing an end to the Hoops’ decade of dominance.
How Ojo Would Be Deployed In Rangers’ Title Bid
Kent had a massive impact last season down the left flank even though the numbers did not reflect his true contribution. With Ojo, the Light Blues can expect more goals and assists. But the fear of fitness and form would be there if we look back to his previous years. He could be deployed on both the wings; however, the exit of Daniel Candeias might see him occupying the right-hand side of the Gers’ attack in the long run.
Why He Is Not Wrong In Claiming The Superiority
Celtic might have grabbed a historic treble ‘treble’, but the Bears closed the gap significantly last season by defeating them twice. They have formed a squad with enough depth as well as quality and must bring in a consistency to their game to avoid the heartbreak of the 2018-19 campaign.
They dropped points against the league minnows whereas Celtic, despite struggling against their bitter rivals, dominated the rest to claim the title for the eighth time in a row.
