Scouting Report & Player Insights
Rıdvan Yılmaz is an energetic, attack-minded left-back who came through Beşiktaş's academy, moved to Rangers in 2022, and later returned to Beşiktaş, where he competes for the starting left-back spot. His game is built on relentless overlapping runs, high work rate, and left-footed delivery from advanced areas. Defensively he is combative in duels but can be exposed positionally and aerially, and injuries have interrupted his momentum at times.
Product of the Beşiktaş academy and part of the squad that won the Süper Lig title in 2020-21.
Signed by Rangers in 2022, where his time was disrupted by muscle injuries.
Has been capped at senior level by Turkey.
