Rangers star George Edmundson salutes Joe Aribo as he masterminds £12.5m Ibrox 'transfer exit'

The coronavirus pandemic sweeping the globe has the vast majority of the public confined to their own homes in a bid to win the war against the COVID-19.

But human nature means those who are staring at the same walls on a daily basis are forced into a transformation in a bid to beat the boredom of being unable to leave the house.

And Rangers defender George Edmundson has opted for something completely different as he has appointed himself the manager of Turkish side Trabzonspor.

Yes, we know, it's only Football Manager but the former Oldham star's team choice is certainly outside the box.

And the rookie 22-year-old boss has opted for familiarity in the ranks by splashing out an eye-watering £12.5m on Rangers team-mate Joe Aribo.

Edmundson was quick to welcome the Nigeria international to his new club as he posted an update into his life on lockdown for his Instagram followers to enjoy.

Managers and coaches across the globe have hailed the manager simulator for its realistic representation of the modern game.

And the extended shutdown to the football calendar will everyone the chance to scour the globe in search of a bargain.

Steven Gerrard might shortly have a rival for the half-time team talk in Govan.
