Rangers loanee Sam Lammers scored his first goal for FC Utrecht over the weekend, contributing to the team’s achievement of equaling a 33-year-old club record. The last time Utrecht remained undefeated for 13 Eredivisie games, Ally McCoist was honored with the European Golden Shoe and Andy Goram was finalizing a £1 million transfer from Aberdeen.
Reflecting on the fact that 1991 is now more than 30 years ago, it’s essential to recognize the significance of Utrecht’s recent success and Lammers’ impact at the Stadion Galgenwaard.
Before his goal on Sunday, Lammers had already assisted in three goals for his temporary club. His well-executed finish in the 4-0 victory against Fortuna Sittard marked his first goal in five attempts.
Utrecht coach Ron Jans expressed Lammers’ anticipation for this moment, highlighting the importance of his contribution to the team. With this goal, Lammers not only boosted Utrecht’s position in the league standings, bringing them closer to European qualification, but also secured a comprehensive victory that marks the club’s longest unbeaten streak in domestic competitions in over 30 years.
