News this week suggested that Rangers defender Connor Goldson might have played his final game at Ibrox.
Philippe Clement revealed that the English defender’s season has ended prematurely ahead of the 5 May match against Kilmarnock.
This is because of a knee injury, and it is unlikely that he will recover in a month, which will be detrimental to the Belgian team’s hopes of winning the SPFL again.
The 31-year-old’s future has been questioned in recent weeks, and his play has been, to put it mildly, inconsistent.
Fans and commentators have criticized him for his lackluster performances, and Saudi Arabia is reportedly interested in him.
The Middle Eastern teams have significant financial resources, so they might even offer the English center back “crazy money.”
There’s a potential that fans won’t see him at Ibrox because of his association with the season-ending injury and the departure door.
Goldson may be tempted to leave Ibrox due to the financial incentives offered by clubs in Saudi Arabia.
At 31, he might view this as his last significant opportunity for a lucrative contract.
Having already won the league with Rangers, he might feel he has achieved his main goals in Scotland and could be open to a new challenge.
The prospect of a life-change salary and the chance to experience a different football culture could appeal to him, especially if he feels he has accomplished what he set out to do with Gers.
