The shape of him
John Souttar is a 30-year-old defender at Rangers and a Scotland international. In 25/26 that meant 48 club appearances and 3,734 minutes. Defending is anticipation as much as tackling: reading the pass before it is played, holding the line, and starting the attack from the back.
The job
Win the individual duels, protect the space behind, and give the team a platform to build from.
