CONNOR GOLDSON has seen a handful of defensive partners come and go and been the rock at the heart of the Rangers rearguard for four seasons now.
And he is confident the relationship with his latest companion Ben Davies will continue to go from strength to strength after a difficult start to life together at Ibrox.
Goldson was one of the first signings that Steven Gerrard made when he was appointed manager in 2018 and he has now been reunited with Michael Beale after he returned to Glasgow as boss.
The stopper counts the likes of Nikola Katic, Filip Helander and Leon Balogun amongst those he has played alongside and Davies is the latest man to take up a central berth beside him.
It is only since Beale's appointment as manager that Goldson and Davies have been able to put together a regular run of games after coming through their respective injury situations earlier in the campaign.
And the 30-year-old is pleased with the progress they have been making together as Beale builds from the back and looks to lay the foundations for a successful second half of the season.
Goldson said: “It’s good just to get a run together with Ben. We both had injuries at the start of the season and I don’t think helped the team.
“It was never settled as a back four. But we’re building confidence together now. He’s very easy to play with and he’s a good player.
“I don’t really need to talk to him much on the pitch, which is nice. And we’re doing well together.
“The relationship can only get stronger and that helps other areas of the pitch.
“We’re looking strong defensively. We’re aren’t giving away many chances.
“We played against a good team on Wednesday night and limited them to one or two.
“The more we can play together, the more rhythm and understanding we’ll get.
“There are still little tweaks we can make on stuff we’re not 100 percent sure on together, like when we stay up, when we drop deep. But on the whole, we’re both really happy and in a good place."
