John Lundstram has candidly reflected on the pinnacle of his footballing career, a moment that will forever resonate in the annals of Rangers Football Club history — the goal that propelled the team to the Europa League final.
The talented midfielder left Ibrox this summer to begin a new chapter with Turkish giants Trabzonspor after an impressive three-year spell with the Gers.
In an honest assessment, Lundstram expressed a desire to replicate the overwhelming support he received from Rangers supporters during his time at the club. He rose to the occasion by scoring the decisive third goal in a thrilling 3-1 win over RB Leipzig in the second leg of the 2022 semi-finals at Ibrox.
“My connection with the Rangers fans was extraordinary,” Lundstram said. “And my aspiration is to cultivate a similar relationship with Trabzonspor fans.”

However, he concluded with sincere conviction: “The glory of my career undoubtedly remains that memorable goal against RB Leipzig in the Europa League semi-final for Rangers.
