Rangers head coach, Danny Rohl, has praised Emmanuel Fernandez, a defender who has risen from a fringe player to a Nigeria international, as a role model for the club's player development strategy. Fernandez, who has six goals in 27 Rangers appearances, moved from Peterborough to Rangers last summer on a four-year deal. Despite starting just one Premiership game in August and November, Fernandez has since flourished and becoming a regular under Rohl. He also made his Nigeria debut in a victory over Iran and scored in his first international start against Jordan.
