He is a centre back. Very good tackling and fairly good in the air. Lacks a bit of pace tbh. Would maybe compare him to a young David Weir of Jamie Carragher. I don't really think he is ready to be a regular starter in the Premier League, will probably play a few Carling cup games in the early rounds to start of with then maybe break into the squad a few times in the Premier League. Though if you asked anyone a year ago if he was ready to be a regular starter for Rangers and play in the Champions League they would have laughed at you so he may prove us wrong.
