Former Rangers kid Nathan Patterson branded 'absolute class' as Everton fans rave after West Ham win

Nathan Patterson's reputation at Everton continues to grow as fans once again heaped huge praise on the full-back.

The former Rangers youngster made the move south of the border back in January for a big money fee but initially struggled for game time with his only top team appearance coming in an FA Cup clash with Boreham Wood - and he was hooked at half-time.

Fast forward to this season and the Scotland international - part of Steve Clarke's squad for the Nations League triple-header with Ukraine and Republic of Ireland - has been a key man for Frank Lampard's side. He's played every single minute of the English Premier League campaign to date. He also picked up minutes in the Carabao Cup against Celtic hero Scott Brown and his Fleetwood Town side.

Everton headed into the international break with a confidence boosting three points after victory over West Ham and after the club tweeted a picture of the youngster celebrating with the caption: 'This guy again' alongside a blue love heart - the fans all shared their appreciation for the 20-year-old.

One fan wrote: "Love him. What a signing."

Another posted: "Absolutely class again."

A fellow fan added: "Outstanding! Tackle towards the end on Cornet saved the win."

Another Toffees fan said: "Unreal from him today. What a player."

Speaking about Patterson after announcing his Scotland squad last week, Clarke said: "I think I was always quite clear in my mind that if Nathan got the chance to play at Everton he would grab that chance.

"He's a big player for his club now and that is great to see. He's been a big player for his country for a little while. Probably playing more football for his country than his club.

"It's nice that he has got that role at Everton and seems to have nailed it down.

"Playing in the English Premier League week in week out can only improve Nathan. Which is good for Nathan, Everton and of course Scotland."
