Danny Wilson's move to Liverpool last summer was a mistake, at least that is according to former Rangers captain Richard Gough.
The young defender was signed in July 2010 by then Reds manager Roy Hodgson, having won the Scottish PFA Young Player of the Year award for his exploits at Ibrox the previous season.
However, the 19-year-old has made only nine appearances for Liverpool - including just one league start - in what has been a testing time at Anfield for the Scotland defender.
And, says Gough, Wilson really ought to have not joined Liverpool at all as it has hampered his progress - and provides an issue for the national side.
"The move to Liverpool had its lure for Wilson, he may have doubled his wages and I understand why the former Rangers kid took it," Gough told the Scottish Sun.
"In football terms, though? It was a mistake.
"Danny would have been better staying put with Gers for another season and learning under the wise guidance of the likes of David Weir.
"If I was Wilson's agent I'd have told him to STAY at Ibrox.
"Danny has a huge future and played really well in the Denmark game but that was a friendly and it was 23 days ago.
"Since then he has played the full 90 minutes in Liverpool's 3-1 win at Exeter City in the Carling Cup. That's it."
