The Importance of the Aberdeen Match

Bajrami emphasized that every game is significant for Rangers, especially facing a team like Aberdeen, who remain undefeated this season. "We know how crucial the match against Aberdeen is, as they are still unbeaten. We’ll go there, give our best, and deliver our best performance yet," he stated. With a number of new players integrating into the squad, Bajrami acknowledges that they need time to adjust, himself included. He anticipates a challenging match but remains optimistic.

Settling In at Rangers

Reflecting on his time at Rangers so far, Bajrami conveyed his enjoyment of the team environment and camaraderie in the dressing room. "I like how we play, the coach’s approach, and what he expects from the team," he said. Despite the differences between Scottish and Italian football, he is adapting quickly and enjoying his new experience.

Evolution of the Squad Since His Arrival

Bajrami joined Rangers in search of an attacking football style and the ambition to win every match and secure trophies. His performance, he feels, has been strong, though he aims to contribute more goals and assists. Currently playing on the wing alongside players like Jefté and Tom Lawrence in central roles, Bajrami appreciates the connection he’s built with his teammates, both on and off the field.

Preferred Position on the Field

In response to whether he prefers a more central role, Bajrami shared that he is flexible with his positioning. "It’s not about one position in football. You have to adapt," he remarked, noting that he enjoys the freedom of movement, especially on the left wing, where rotations keep him actively engaged in play.

Differences Between Scottish and Italian Football

Having spent five years in Italy, Bajrami observes a clear contrast between the tactical focus of Italian football and the fast-paced nature of the Scottish league. In Scotland, games involve more movement up and down the field, with faster transitions that open up scoring opportunities. "I enjoy the speed here because it allows for more space and more chances to score," he said.

Physicality in Scottish Football

When asked about the physicality in the Scottish league, Bajrami acknowledged that it is indeed more demanding than what he was accustomed to in Italy. "We face some very physical teams here, different from Italy," he noted, emphasizing his efforts to adapt and give his all in every match.

As Nedim Bajrami continues his journey with Rangers, he’s embracing the challenges of Scottish football and focusing on contributing to the team’s success. Fans and teammates alike look forward to seeing his growth as he adapts to this new chapter.
