Former Rangers defender Connor Goldson is having to adjust to playing in front of tiny crowds compared to Rangers, according to his Aris Limassol manager Aleksey Shpilevsky.

Goldson moved to Cyprus this summer after six years and 309 appearances for the club and has settled into his new role at Aris.

He helped his side go top of the league after three wins out of three following a 3-0 victory at Omonia Aradippou, even though they had to play for over an hour with ten men.

But the attendance was just 1,000 and Shpilevsky admitted Goldson was finding it a culture shock.

He pointed out: "It's not easy to play in an almost empty stadium.

"Connor Goldson was used to playing in front of 50,000 fans every other week when he was with Rangers.

"So it's not easy for him to adjust to this.

"But I am happy to get the win and I thank the people who did show up for their support."
