To be fair, I don’t know the ins and outs of any finances around Aso, so I won’t pretend to. What I do know is this: whether he stays or goes largely comes down to him. A couple of bright performances and opinions shift quicker than you can say Ibrox. So let him get the split, prove his worth and we can judge properly at the end of the season.
Players make their own luck here
Truth is, Rangers is unforgiving and wonderfully honest. If you perform, people warm to you fast. If you don’t, the mood turns equally quickly. We’ve seen lads flip that script before; form, confidence and a run of games can change a player’s standing dramatically. It’s not mystical. It’s football. One or two moments can alter how managers pick and how fans feel.
Look around the squad
Think about the names who’ve come through rough patches and then grown into the team. Some were criticised early on, others written off by sections of the support. But with minutes, a bit of faith and time on the park, they found their feet. That’s the pattern with a lot of players. You can point at examples from recent seasons where perception changed because the player put runs of form together. We don’t need to rehearse the exact details here – the point’s obvious to anyone who follows the club.
What we should do now
I’d be cautious about committing to a permanent deal for Aso straight away. That’s not negativity, it’s realism. Let him get the split, see how he handles pressure, see how he impacts games regularly. As fans, our best move is support rather than premature condemnation. Get behind him, the youngsters, the established boys alike, and let performances decide his future. If he seizes the chance, fair play — those decisions will take care of themselves.
