Sam Lammers lands compelling Rangers second chance pitch from boss he made pay during epic redemption arc

Sam Lammers has been backed to find redemption at Rangers after proving during a loan spell in Holland that he does know the way to goal.The Dutchman’s 11 goals in 20 appearances with Utrecht, which included a record-breaking seven consecutive strikes in the Eredivisie, has eyebrows being raised by Light Blues fans after the 27-year-old’s spectacular flop at Ibrox which brought two goals in 31 outings.

Two of his Utrecht goals came against Heerenveen in a 3-2 win back in March and losing boss Kees van Wonderen is convinced the striker may only need a cuddle and some love from Philippe Clement to trigger a successful second chanceHe said: “I have only seen Lammers from a distance as a manager so it’s difficult to get the correct insight without working with the player on a daily basis.

He has never lost his talent but since he has started playing regularly he’s got his confidence back. He’s scoring again and I have no doubt he can take that back with him to Scotland and have a positive second season at Rangers.“It’s clear his manager Ron Jans has triggered something in him and he has done well in the short spell with Utrecht in the Dutch league.

You can see he’s starting to score and feels he’s an important player. He has found a team who has given him time to play and has delivered on that by scoring goals.
