A now-Rangers kid stood out significantly above the Celtic stars in 2022 when he shared a pitch with Kyogo Furuashi, Matt O’Riley, Reo Hatate, and Jota
You tend to develop a sense of grit and unwavering determination after growing up in West Yorkshire.
Rangers’ £1.7 million target outperformed Matt O’Riley as the “best player on the pitch” against Celtic.
Given that he began the game in a double pivot rather than his preferred number eight position and played for a considerable amount of time as the only recognized midfielder following Abdoulaye Doucoure’s injury-plagued departure, the performance was all the more amazing.
“He’s been playing well [with the Under-21s]. Then, Doucoure gets injured at half-time and we are playing wingers in midfield.
Price had just played one senior game at that stage of his career when he faced the Scottish Premiership powerhouses in 2022.
Rangers are reportedly interested in bringing Isaac Price to Glasgow. Although the match was technically a “friendly” rather than a competitive one, the way the Northern Ireland international limited O’Riley and Hatate’s influence in a hard-fought 0-0 draw will undoubtedly appeal to fans on the opposite side of the city.
Rangers connected Against Celtic, Isaac Price has already excelled.
At full time, former Everton manager Frank Lampard told the Liverpool Echo, “I would have played Isaac anyway because he has trained really well in recent weeks.”
He has been performing admirably for the Under-21 team. We are then using wingers in midfield after Doucoure sustains an injury at halftime.
However, I guess it provides a chance [for the kids]. Isaac Price, in my opinion, was the best player on the field.
A year later, Price, now valued at £1.7 million, would leave Everton. He declined a new contract offer in favor of moving to Belgium to play for Standard Liege. This choice was likened to Jude Bellingham’s move from Birmingham City to Borussia Dortmund.
When Price scored his first hat-trick of his professional career back in October, there were echoes of the Real Madrid star. Price became the first Northern Ireland player to hit a treble since 2007, driving into the penalty area with devastating repercussions during a 5-0 thumping of Bulgaria.
One of the main qualities that has won over many managers to Price throughout the years is his adaptability. Rangers’ apparent preference for tactically adaptable players like Nedim Bajrami and Neraysho Kasanwirjo is probably a key element in their purported interest as well.
He plays a slightly different position for Northern Ireland, and he is aware that he needs to work on certain aspects of his game. However, during the time he has been on the squad, he has proven to be of very high caliber.
“His ends tonight. It requires genuine willingness for him to be able to score. The first two goals were expertly covered by him, while the third was a little unique.
Belgian newspaper Walfoot reported last week that Rangers had renewed interest in Price. Furthermore, even though the veracity of such connections has been questioned elsewhere, Clement and company do seem to be interested in a midfield player with the ability to score goals.
