Michael Statham claims that Robin Propper, who is close to joining the Rangers, is a reliable performer and an excellent aerial threat.
Speaking to PLZ Soccer, the Dutch football expert asserted that he would also fit in well with the SPFL.

“I think you have someone who is stable, consistent, and a late bloomer with Propper,” Statham remarked. It appears to be functioning.
He’s not the best in the air, but he’s quite good overall, in my opinion. Someone who, when joining the Scottish league, will be trustworthy in that regard. incredibly physical.
“Not the best on the ball, but good on it.”
Rangers will be lucky to have signed Robin Propper.
For too long, the Gers have lacked a defensive player capable of being a rock, a bully, and a constant source of misery for their opponents.
They have been weak defensively far too frequently, and Propper’s signing will provide them with defensive stability.
He has the ability to rise to the top of the team’s locker room hierarchy fast, and with James Tavernier maybe on the way out, Philippe Clement will be looking to guys like him.
Propper is anticipated to be one of the first names on the roster, and even though he might not start the first game of the season, he will almost certainly be in the starting lineup.
It’s unclear what Clinton Nsiala’s future holds and whether Clement wants him to play alongside Propper or whether John Souttar will continue to start.
The past several years have been full of turns and turns, and there’s every indication that things will stay that way.
