Ridvan Yilmaz: Rangers' Rising Star in the Left-Back Role

The teammates are celebrating alongside Ridvan.

Without a doubt, Ridvan Yilmaz has emerged as Rangers’ top left-back, surpassing Borna Barisic in recent performances. Signed in summer 2022, Yilmaz had to patiently wait for his opportunity but has now firmly established himself in the team after 17 months of waiting. His recent displays, including an excellent performance at Easter Road and improved English-speaking skills during media duties have endeared him to Rangers supporters.

Yilmaz’s goal against Kilmarnock further highlighted his impact on the team. Despite rumors of interest from other clubs like Verona and Galatasaray, Yilmaz’s stellar performances suggest he would command a high transfer fee if sold. With his newfound confidence and success, Yilmaz appears to be the future of Rangers’ left-back position, relegating Barisic to the bench for the time being.
