Defender Emmanuel Fernandez of the Super Eagles and Rangers, despite criticism of his recent performances in the 2026-27 season, remains unfazed, according to PUNCH Sports Extra. The former Peterborough United player, who joined Rangers last year, started the season strongly, contributing to the team's title challenge before finishing behind Celtic and Hearts.
His efforts earned him the club's Men's Player of The Season award and Rangers' only spot on the PFA Scotland Team of The Season. However, he has since struggled to match that form, particularly after a disappointing Europa League qualifying campaign that saw Rangers eliminated, denying them European football for the first time since 2017.
Speaking ahead of Rangers' match against St Mirren, Fernandez emphasized his focus on personal improvement, stating, "I don’t really look into what is said about me. I just try to focus on myself and try to improve to be better." He also highlighted the growing togetherness and team improvement, even though they missed out on European football.
Fernandez expressed confidence in the team's ability to secure domestic success, noting the possibility of winning three trophies still available.
