Output in context · Rangers finished 2nd of 12 · a title-challenging side
3.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 7 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 60.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 3.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 40.4 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
