Rangers midfielder Connor Barron is aiming for a dream end to the season, seeking to win the Scottish Premiership title and secure a place in Scotland's World Cup squad. The 23-year-old has recently recovered from a knee injury that kept him out for over two months and is determined to contribute to the title race and catch the eye of Scotland manager Steve Clarke.
Barron's pre-injury form earned him consecutive call-ups to the national team, and he was part of the squad that secured a historic World Cup qualification with a 4-2 victory over Denmark at Hampden Park. However, the competition for midfield spots in the Scotland squad is fierce, with the likes of Scott McTominay, Billy Gilmour, and Lewis Ferguson likely to be on the plane to the USA. Barron believes he can bring energy, composure, and tenacity to the national team, and is focused on performing well to secure a spot in the squad.
With five games remaining, Rangers are one point behind leaders Hearts, and Barron is confident that his team has the right mindset to cope with the demands of a three-way title scrap. He is hungry for more first-team opportunities in the run-in and is ready to show what he can do to get back into the team.
