Kemar Roofe targets extra Rangers training as Ibrox new boy issues social media appeal for goalkeeper

Rangers striker Kemar Roofe has made an appeal for goalkeepers so he can do extra training during the international break.

The summer signing has been short of match fitness since joining from Anderlecht and wants to return from his short spell back down south in the best condition he can.

Roofe is back in Walsall for a short spell with the players not on international duty being given some time off to recover after a busy start to the season.

Steven Gerrard's men have had six league games plus a Europa League clash against Bayer Leverkusen since returning to action against Aberdeen on August 1.

But Roofe - who has started the last two matches against Kilmarnock and Hamilton - isn't taking any time to rest and is determined to kick on after the international break.

The Ibrox side take on Dundee United when they return and Roofe wants to be in top shape to take on Micky Mellon's outfit.

He posted on Instagram: "Any goalkeepers in or around Walsall that want to put some wkr in this week? DM me if you are serious."

The 27-year-old hadn't played in 2020 before joining Rangers after an injury the coronavirus ended his single campaign in Belgium.

Roofe has played up front, out wide and behind the striker and he said: "I like all positions, but I like number 9. This is where I've been playing for the last few years, down the middle. But with this system we play, any of the four positions is ideal because there's a lot of rotation – there's no one fixed position.

"Nobody just stays in their hole, everyone is moving and rotating. There's a lot of flexibility which I like."
