Warburton: “Eustace in coming days”
Mark Warburton has confirmed a
deal for John Eustace is imminent but depends on all parties being agreeable to
it.
Speaking ahead of tomorrow’s
season-opener v St Mirren at Ibrox, the Rangers boss has been extremely pleased
with Eustace’s progress with the physios and was delighted to confirm the
former Derby man is not only fully training with the squad but that all sides
are looking to close the deal on him.
He said:
“He’s training with the group, which is
great from where he was when he came in, and hopefully touch wood again that
progresses well in the coming days. John’s done really well and the medical
team have been outstanding with him and he’s made really good progress.”
On making the signing Warburton
added:
“All parties (are) making sure everyone’s
comfortable and that John’s comfortable that he can play a role for the squad. We’re
comfortable that it’s the right thing to do with John and the team as a whole,
so, so far so good. John’s fit in really well with the group; his views are
well respected and obviously he’s (had) an outstanding playing career so far
and hopefully we can make good progress on that front.”
It had been hoped Eustace would
have been completed by Wednesday as expected but there appears to be a small
delay, most likely with personal terms going by Warburton’s account, before the
contract is signed.
