John Souttar

In the early phase of the 2026–27 season Souttar has been used primarily in cup competitions, registering one Scottish Cup appearance, five WC Qual. Europe appearances and five Europa League appearances while scoring 0 goals – the usage pattern points to a rotational squad role concentrated in European and cup fixtures rather than Premiership minutes so far.

Souttar's season average rating sits at 7.07 with a season high of 7.86 and a low of 6.4, indicating generally positive and relatively consistent match assessments across his appearances this campaign.

Souttar plays as a central defender for Rangers and is 29; his career began as a Dundee United trainee in 2012, progressed with a fee move to Hearts in February 2016 and continued with a free transfer to Rangers in July 2022, a sequence that maps a pathway from youth product to an extended spell at Hearts and then a domestic transfer to another Scottish top-flight club.

Souttar's transfers trace a domestic pathway: trainee promotion at Dundee United in 2012, a £150,000 fee move to Hearts on 2016-02-01, and a free transfer to Rangers on 2022-07-01 – the record includes both a paid move and a later free transfer between Scottish Premiership clubs.
