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.”

Playing in the Premier League was a childhood dream fulfilled.”
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. It is perhaps even a greater achievement that my Premier League goal that night was nothing short of destiny for all of us associated with Rangers Football Club, but finding myself in the position to score the winning goal was undoubtedly the most cherished moment of my life. “
