What has happened to John Lundstram since leaving Rangers with club chief ready to sell
Things have not gone to plan for former Rangers man John Lundstram since his decision to leave Ibrox this summer.
Rangers and John Lundstram were caught 📖in a stalemate over a new contract and the 30-year-old ended up leaving the club as a free agent.
Lundstram spent three years ꦬwith the Glasgow giants after joining on a free transfer fr𓂃om Sheffield United in 2021.
He lifted the Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup with Rangers and played a part in their fascinating run to the Europa League final in 2022, where he was hailed as “phenomenal“.
Lundstram said in 2022 that he never wan♚ted to leave Rangers after settling in Scotlan🍬d, but he left this summer and signed with Turkish outfit Tra๊bzonspor alongside teammate Borna Barisic.

Trabzonspor want to sell John Lundstrum already
Lundstram’s move to Turkey looks set to end in disaster. He has made eight appearances for Trabzonspor already in 2024-🐈25, including all of their Europa League qualifying clashes where they were knocked out by Rapid Vienna in the third round.
Th♛ey are also y🍌et to pick up a win in the Turkish Super Lig with two goalless draws in their opening games.
Trabzonspor’s technical director Senol Gunes has now publicly criticised Lundstram and admitted he “ca🧔nnot understand” why he was signed.
As quoted by , Gunes said: “I cannot understand the Lundstram transfer. We have several players with the same characteristics. Lundstram is﷽ a very heavy an𒀰d cumbersome football player.
“There is nothing we can do at the moment, but if t🍬here is an opportꦜunity to send him to another team, it would be good for both Lundstram and us.”
Rangers have missed John Lundstram
It has not been a great start to the season for Rangers, who have slumped down to fourth in the Scottish Premiers꧋hip following their 3-0 defeat to Celtic.
Philippe Clement is n🐽ow under huge pressure to turn things around at Ibrox but the gulf between Rangers and their Glasgow rivalsꦑ looks alarmingly large.

The Gers boss admitted himself that R🥀angers have been missing Lundstram this season.
Clement 🎃said: “Some missed pre-season, others also who are new like Connor Barron. You miss a really important pa🔥rt with Lundstram there to lead the team out of the midfield.”
Barron arrived from Aberdeen to replace Lundstram, but his leadership and energy in midfield has no💧t been properly replaced by the club and they could live to regret that this season.
