Connor Goldson has given up on Veganuary.
But the Rangers ace reckons ditching sweet treats and fast food is the quickest way to ensure he prolongs an Ibrox career that is rapidly approaching appearance No300. The big centre-back joined Gers in 2018 just 18 months after being rushed for emergency surgery on a heart defect.
That shock episode caused by an enlarged aorta valve fed doubts about the Englishman’s long-term prospects in the game. But his hunger to get back to action saw Goldson defy the odds as he made his move to Ibrox, where he’s been a virtual ever-present in the five-and-half-years since. It still takes discipline and sacrifice where his diet, lifestyle and match preparation are concerned but at 31, Goldson remains as reliable a servant as he’s ever been during his stay in Glasgow.
