Matt Polster has spoken out about his desire for more playing time at Rangers, and Steven Gerrard would be foolish not to heed the American’s advice.
Polster signed for Rangers in January for a small fee, but the 25 year-old is yet to make a first team appearance for the Gers.
He is now fit and raring to go though, and the USA international could actually provide a big boost to Gerrard as the season draws to a close.
What’s he said?
“I’d love to be a part of the derby,” he said, reports The Express.
“Obviously it’s a big match. I haven’t even seen it live. I was away when we played them at the end of the year.
“It’ll be quite a day. The expectation is always the same, you want to beat them.

“It was quite frustrating missing out against Dundee,” he continued. The January arrival was supposed to make his debut but suffered an injury.
“The manager told me before going out to training that I was going to make my debut – but things didn’t happen as I would have liked.
“I didn’t feel comfortable and I didn’t want to put the team or him in a difficult position where I would start the match but then after 20 or 30 minutes and have to be pulled out.”
Surprise for the Old Firm?
First of all, Polster deserves credit for his team-first attitude, as he certainly wouldn’t have been the first player to force his way onto the pitch despite an injury only for it to cost his side.
His hunger and desire also provide quite the boost for Gerrard, as the squad seems to have lost a bit of bite in the last few weeks, failing to win a single game in the month of March.
Polster is versatile enough to play on either defensive flank or in midfield, and with the Gers struggling to find success with any of their left-back options, could the American provide cover in an unfamiliar role against Celtic?
He certainly won’t lack fight, and that’s exactly what fans want to see in the Old Firm.
