Andy Halliday Hails Tuur Rommens’ ‘Unbelievable’ Impact at Rangers
Former Andy Halliday has lifted the lid on the remarkable early impression made by Tuur Rommens at Rangers F.C., describing the Belgian’s contribution behind the scenes as “unbelievable.”
Rommens may still be settling into life in Glasgow, but according to Halliday, his influence has already been felt strongly within the dressing room and at the training ground. Speaking about the defender’s transition, Halliday highlighted not just his technical qualities, but the standards and professionalism he has brought to the squad.
“It’s been unbelievable,” Halliday said, pointing to Rommens’ dedication to improving every aspect of his game. “From what I’ve heard, he’s been first class around the place.”
Rommens arrived with a reputation for versatility and composure on the ball, attributes that fit naturally with Rangers’ demanding style of play. However, it is his attitude that appears to have caught the attention of those at the club most. Halliday noted that adapting to the pressure and expectation at Ibrox can be a major challenge for any newcomer, particularly one arriving from a different league and football culture.
Yet Rommens has embraced the challenge head-on. Teammates have reportedly been impressed by his willingness to learn, his eagerness in training sessions, and his openness to feedback from senior players and coaching staff. Halliday stressed that such qualities are invaluable in a squad aiming to compete on multiple fronts.
At a club the size of Rangers, scrutiny is relentless. Every performance is analysed, and every signing is judged almost immediately. Halliday, who understands those pressures better than most from his own time in blue, believes Rommens’ mentality has given him the perfect platform to succeed.
“He’s not come in thinking he’s the finished article,” Halliday explained. “He’s come in wanting to work, wanting to improve, and that’s exactly what you need.”
Rommens’ adaptability has also stood out. Comfortable operating in defensive roles, he has shown tactical intelligence and positional awareness during his early appearances and training drills. Halliday suggested that this flexibility could prove crucial over the course of a long and demanding campaign, especially with injuries and fixture congestion inevitable.
Beyond his on-field attributes, Rommens has reportedly integrated quickly into the squad dynamic. Settling into a new country can often take time, but Halliday indicated that the Belgian has made a conscious effort to bond with teammates and immerse himself in the club’s culture.
That commitment, Halliday believes, sends a powerful message. “When new players come in and show that level of professionalism straight away, it lifts everyone,” he said. “It sets a standard.”
For supporters, patience is often required when new signings arrive, but Halliday’s glowing endorsement suggests Rommens is laying strong foundations for a successful spell at Ibrox. While performances on matchdays will ultimately define his Rangers career, the early signs off the pitch are extremely encouraging.
If Rommens continues on this trajectory, Halliday’s “unbelievable” verdict may soon be echoed from the stands. At Rangers, attitude and application are non-negotiable — and by all accounts, Tuur Rommens has already demonstrated he possesses both in abundance.
