Craig Moore labels £2.5m Rangers player ‘very dangerous’ when confidence is high

Craig Moore, a former Rangers player, thinks Philippe Clement may have a “dangerous” option this season in one of the Ibrox wingers.

The player in question is Rabbi Matondo, who has had an extremely inconsistent season for the Rangers due primarily to injuries.
The 23-year-old was intermittently added back to the Clement’s squad during the hectic holiday season after missing a significant number of games between September and November.

In the summer of 2022, Giovanni van Bronckhorst signed Matondo for £2.5 million from Schalke 04, and he has undoubtedly been one of the more polarizing acquisitions in recent memory.

With his rapid speed, the Welshman may be very successful in breaching fortifications.

Though he could surely improve on both his finishing and his ability to beat a full-back more frequently, he can beat one occasionally.

Strangely enough, Matondo spent the whole winter break honing that very skill, and Clement recognizes the need to improve in that aspect of his game as well.

Craig Moore Regarding Rabbi Matondo

When Moore scored the first goal in the Ibrox friendly against FC Copenhagen on Tuesday, there were clear signs of development in that area. Moore recently spoke positively about the finish on The Go Radio Football Show.

After watching the game, many asked Craig Moore what he thought about Matondo. He believes the winger may pose a threat to Rangers, but he needs to be more reliable on the field when Clement gives him the opportunity, which should happen more frequently now that Abdallah Sima is competing in the AFCON.

Moore stated: “I’ll tell you what, it was a very good goal, and he missed a sitter right before it.” It seems like a fairly easy finish, so he could have just dinked it over the goalie.

However, it was most likely a few minutes after that (Leon) Balogun wins it in a favorable spot, Matondo is pleasant and upbeat, takes the half turn, and starts driving toward the opposition.

“As a defender, I was disappointed to see that, but the finish was excellent. When Rabbi Matondo feels confident and plays at a fast pace, he may be a very dangerous player.

He has been in and out of the game, and his consistency with injuries and consequently his effectiveness are currently the subject of dispute. However, when that confidence comes through, he can be an extremely dangerous player. He hasn’t been able to maintain that for very long.
