Ronald de Boer has stressed that Rangers MUST watch dangerman Joey Veerman.

The silky midfielder, who scored in both legs of the 3rd round Champions League qualifier against Monaco, was on the radar of Steven Gerrard ahead of last season but the Ibrox club's nightmare exit to Malmo put paid to what would have been an expensive deal from Heerenveen. 

But he's not the only dangerman who Ruud Van Nistelrooy has at his disposal who will need to be watched closely by Ibrox defenders.

De Boer explained that winger Cody Gakpo – who both Arsenal and Manchester United are keen to sign - as well as midfielder Ibrahim Sangare will need to be closely marked too.

“For me, Gakpo, Sangare and Veerman are PSV’s most important players,” he said. “Joey in particular. He is very influential in midfield, he makes the attack fluid. Most of the time attacks start with him.

“Veerman has the patience to play the ball between the opposition midfield and the defence or behind the opposition defence. Sangare plays a more defensive role in the midfield and contains opposition sides well.

“Luuk always tries hard for 90 minutes. Neither he nor Gakpo were particularly good in the Monaco game on Tuesday night. But, as I say, PSV never give up, even when they are not in the game.

“That is what I like about them. They do not let their heads go down. They fight for every metre and try to win another way. Because they didn’t give in, they had an important role in that victory.”
