Rangers outcast Sam Lammers has been named Eredivisie Player of the Month for April.
With 9 goals in 15 matches, Lammers is currently FC Utrecht's top scorer in the 2023/2024 season.
No player in the Dutch top-flight scored more goals in April than the 27-year-old. Lammers found the net five times last month, making him the first FC Utrecht player to score in seven consecutive Eredivisie matches.
He is the first Dutchman to achieve this in the Eredivisie since AZ Alkmaar's Vincent Janssen eight years ago.

A post by Utrecht on X read: "Sam Lammers has been elected Eredivisie Player of the Month for April. Class Sam."
Lammers arrived at Rangers last summer in a £3million deal from Atalanta but struggled to make his mark, with just two goals and two assists from 32 outings - 19 as a starter.
That prompted boss Philippe Clement, who inherited the forward from Michael Beale, to allow him to leave on-loan in January. Lammers joined Utrecht and has found the best form of his career to date - which suggests his price tag, should Rangers want to cash in this summer, has increased.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
