John Lundstram bid farewell to Rangers fans with a sentimental send-off and a personal highlight reel, but a surprising inclusion in the clip package has left supporters perplexed.
Leaving Ibrox as a free agent, Lundstram made a significant impact during his time with the club – contributing to Scottish Cup and League Cup victories, but falling short of securing the 56th Premiership title. The midfielder played a crucial role as Rangers narrowly missed out on Europa League success in 2022, although his performance dipped in the final six months of his tenure.
The conclusion of Lundstram’s Rangers career was epitomized by a disastrous outing at Celtic Park. In his last derby in Glasgow, he received a red card from referee Willie Collum after a VAR review for a reckless tackle on Alistair Johnston, shortly after unintentionally scoring an own goal that helped Celtic secure a 2-1 victory.
Despite the setback, Lundstram inexplicably included the red card incident in his farewell highlights alongside his emotional goodbye. Rangers fans were left puzzled by this decision, with some criticizing his contribution to the team’s unsuccessful title bid.
As he prepares to move on, some supporters expressed relief at his departure, believing he may excel at other clubs but was not suited to the pressure of winning every week at Rangers. Celtic fans took the opportunity to mock Lundstram, highlighting his mistake in the derby match and sarcastically praising his departure.
In the end, Lundstram’s final moments at Rangers left a mixed legacy, with fans divided over his impact on the team’s performance.
