BBC Scotland pundit claims only one Rangers star could get in combined Aberdeen XI
BBC Scotland pundit Kenny Macintyre believes only one Rangers player would get into a combined Aberdeen XI
Macintyre was speaking on BBC Sportsound on Monday night after Rangers' 4-1 win over Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
The pundit said: "I think the only Rangers player who would get into the Aberdeen team is Connor Goldson."
Macintyre's comments have sparked debate among fans on social media, with some agreeing with his assessment and others disagreeing.
Here is a look at the combined XI, according to Macintyre:
- Goalkeeper: Joe Lewis (Aberdeen)
- Right-back: Calvin Ramsay (Aberdeen)
- Centre-back: Connor Goldson (Rangers)
- Centre-back: David Bates (Aberdeen)
- Left-back: Jack MacKenzie (Aberdeen)
- Central midfield: Lewis Ferguson (Aberdeen)
- Central midfield: Ross McCrorie (Aberdeen)
- Right wing: Ryan Hedges (Aberdeen)
- Attacking midfield: Scott Wright (Aberdeen)
- Left wing: Jonny Hayes (Aberdeen)
- Striker: Christian Ramirez (Aberdeen)
Do you agree with Macintyre's assessment? Let us know in the comments below.
Here are some of the reasons why Macintyre believes Goldson is the only Rangers player who would get into the Aberdeen team:
- Goldson is a consistent performer for Rangers and has been one of their best players in recent seasons.
- He is a strong defender who is good in the air and on the ground.
- He is also a good passer of the ball and can help Rangers build from the back.
However, some fans have argued that other Rangers players, such as James Tavernier, Ryan Kent, and Alfredo Morelos, would also get into the Aberdeen team.
Tavernier is a very good right-back who is a threat going forward and is solid defensively.
Kent is a very skillful winger who can create chances for his teammates and score goals.
Morelos is a very good striker who is a handful for defenders and is always a threat to score.
Ultimately, it is up to each individual to decide whether they agree with Macintyre's assessment.
There is no right or wrong answer, and it is a matter of opinion.
