Connor Barron says that abuse from Aberdeen supporters doesn't bother him in the slightest after the lifelong Dons fans made the switch to Rangers.
Connor Barron knows that his move to Rangers from Aberdeen won't have gone down well with the Pittodrie faithful, but he says he can handle any abuse that comes his way.Growing up an Aberdeen supporter, as Connor Barron has, means he doesn’t need to have a squizz at social media to gauge the reaction of the Pittodrie faithful to his move to Rangers.
Barron was unveiled as a Rangers player yesterday, and though he may now be a long way from his North-East origins, he looked right at home wearing the light blue jersey at his new club’s Auchenhowie training base.Time will tell if he can make the step up look so effortless when he gets onto the pitch, but that is where he is channelling his energies, rather than worrying about what people are saying about him in his hometown.
“I pay my thanks to Aberdeen, they have brought me up from a boy into the player that I am today. I thank them for everything they have done to help me get here in my career. As I say, it is the next chapter of my career now at Rangers Football Club and I can’t wait to get going. “I am a big character myself. I have been through a lot in my career so far, and experienced many things, and I want more experiences to come at this club and hopefully successful times ahead.
One person Barron certainly wouldn’t be able to ignore if he had an issue with the move is his Aberdeen-daft dad Graeme, but thankfully, his family are fully supportive of this latest step in his development as a player.“He’s my dad at the end of the day and my family is my family, they will support me wherever I go and there is nothing more to it than that.”
