Had the same opinion of him since day 1
Very good player. Not a striker.

I often get asked if I enjoy my work as a Football Agent.

Of course, there are times when it’s incredibly mentally and physically challenging. Much like a player, but in a hugely different context.

But there are times when it’s the best, and I mean the best job in the world. Just like last night:

Benfica v Rangers in Lisbon, last 16 of the Europa League 1st leg - which ended, against the odds, 2-2 with Benfica coming from behind twice (with two gifted goals from Rangers).

Dujon Sterling, who as many know, I have looked after for 9 years since 15 years old, scored his first senior goal in 137 attempts (I’ve probably watched most of those games!) What a goal, what a new memory. An many also know, in 2020, Dujon’s career was so nearly ended by a sudden illness, that kept him out the game for 10 months.

What struck me as it went in, standing on my own amongst 3,500 delirious Rangers fans, was what it meant to so many others.

To Dujon: it was his reward for the battle he won in 2020 and never giving in.

To his Mum: a moment that emotionally rewarded her for the countless hours since he joined Chelsea at 6 years old for her love and support every step (or run) he made.

To the coaches and staff of various clubs/ England (to many to name): a wonderful sense of joy for Dujon knowing his journey and the part they played at some point. My phone went crazy as he scored.

To everyone at Rangers (staff/teammates): it’s a team effort from start to finish and a measure of the hard work put in by all.

To those partners behind the scenes (the boot companies, the lawyers, accountants, concierge, insurance, mortgage advisors, barbers, car salesman (endless list!) who know Dujon.

To the media/ journalists: you know who you are and who have never doubted his ability and spoken about it.

To the fans past and present: an unreal bond through thick and thin. Rangers love him coz he gives 100%. He is an elite talent. The fan next to me last night was drunk with a thick Glaswegian accent. Couldn’t understand a single word for 90 mins but when Dujon scored he jumped on me, hit me in the stomach and kissed me 😂 another very special moment.

To Dujon’s close knit friends, in and out of the game: you never doubted.

To my wife, family, friends: thank you for understanding and being there. Countless messages as the goal went in.

To my other clients/ their families/ colleagues: again loads of messages/calls sharing the happiness of the goal.

Football is the biggest sport in the world. It forms part of the wheel of life for so many, for most of their lives. It’s a tough workplace for all involved.

But moments like last night, make it so, so satisfying….and enjoyable 😉

Have a good day everyone. And never stop believing ⚽️ 💙

P.S. in the 2nd leg next week Benfica will experience Ibrox at its firey best. Can’t wait. ✔️
 
 

Can someone explain this to me in Finnish please.

Tbf if we can have him back for the fenians it wouldn’t be bad at all 

There’s absolutely no danger that the number of people who leave early all have something to do that’s so pressing that they have to leave that early. Every week. It’s shameful how empty Ibrox gets from 75 minutes onwards. 

In all honesty the subway loyal thing is a myth these days the majority that leave early are busses and cars that want to beat the traffic.
The automatic thing for people to leave bang on 80 mins is embarrassing. 
Sadly it’s now just become a trend at Ibrox.

I wonder……….…….if yer Da should’ve pulled out

I've been doing the same, got one of them convinced Collum was at Clement's house for tea last week 

Honestly I just play along with it now, telling them on X that I know a few ITK folk from inside Ibrox saying the same thing lol. Telling them allsorts like Cortes and Diomande were actually Rodgers targets but Lawell sent them over here to to give us a leg up 😂

I wonder……….…….if yer Da should’ve pulled out

Case and point to the importance of that role at any club. I mean it’s not lost on anyone what an important role it is but bloody hell, him and his short tenure at us is as strong an example as you’ll ever see 
What he’s done with the same group of (then) rudderless players is utterly remarkable 

Came across this again last night, I doubt it'll ever age

Delete the original as well please admin 

Outstanding last night. 

TBF, I think Aberdeen hoofed it down that channel so many times, odds are a few would go astray.  But aye, a danger when the opposition play for long throws.

Oh ya fucker.
How long till the unwashed board force Jackson to remove this?
