‘Everyone loves him’: Player Rangers sold for £1m may be set for the Premier League

Even Derren Brown would have had difficulty predicting what would happen when Rangers accepted a reported £1

million from the Tractor Boys back in 2021—George Edmundson leaving Ibrox after just eight Premiership

appearances and joining an Ipswich side then in the third-tier of English football. Two and a half years later, that

very same Edmundson is now part of an Ipswich side flying high in second place in the Championship. Meanwhile,

successive promotions could see the late-blooming center-half go from the Ibrox bench to the bright lights of the

Premier League in next-to-no time.

Conor Chaplin, an Ipswich teammate, told the East Anglian Daily Times of Edmondson, “everyone loves him,”

following his incredible performance in the 0-0 draw with Stoke City on New Year’s Day.

He’s a really nice man and a vital component of the vibe in the changing room. large voice and substantial character.

As it happens, during his tenure in the South East, Edmondson has come in and out of the Ipswich XI.

However, it might take some moving from Kieran McKenna’s starting lineup to accommodate a few more standout

performances in Cameron Burgess’ absence—he is now representing Australia in the Asian Cup—and a player who

joined Steven Gerrard’s Rangers from Oldham Athletic in 2019.

After the FA Cup triumph over AFC Wimbledon, McKenna, who was projected to take over at the Gers after Mick

Beale was fired back in October, said of Edmundson, “I thought George was a credit to himself at center-half.”

“Over the past few months, he has trained diligently, supported his teammates, and waited for his opportunities.

“He maintained his composure the entire game and stood up really strong during those challenging opening

exchanges today.” I felt he was quite good.
