Rangers midfielder Connor Barron is determined to end the season on a high by securing the Scottish Premiership title and earning a place in Scotland's World Cup squad. The 23-year-old had a strong start to the season under Danny Röhl and recently recovered from a knee injury that kept him out for over two months.
Before his injury, Barron was called up to the national team for camps in October and November, where he was part of the squad that achieved a historic World Cup qualification with a 4-2 win over Denmark at Hampden Park. Since his return in mid-March, Barron has been used as a substitute, but he is eager to play a key role in the title race and catch the eye of Scotland manager Steve Clarke.
With intense competition in central midfield, Barron will be competing with other players for a spot in the Scotland squad, including Andy Irving, Josh Mulligan, Elliot Watt, Marc Leonard, Luke McCowan, and David Watson. Barron believes he can bring energy, composure, and tenacity to the national team. He is focused on performing well and earning a place in the World Cup squad, which would be a dream come true. Rangers are currently one point behind leaders Hearts in the Scottish Premiership, and Barron thinks the team has the right mindset to cope with the demands of a three-way title scrap.
With five games remaining, Barron is hungry for more first-team opportunities and is ready to give his all to help the team win the league.
