It's lazy to think too far ahead, but the truth is Rangers are 90 minutes away from qualifying for the group stage of the Champions Leaguefor the first time in 12 years. is. A considerable task awaits in the form of PSV Eindhoven in the
patch, but signing victories on the continent have been a calling card for Ibrox's side in recent years. If Rangers can secure £40million tickets and take a seat at his table at the top of European football, they will gain new impetus in the transfer market.
Managing Director Stewart Robertson said last season's frenetic run to the Europa League paid more money than reaching the group stage of last season's Champions League. explained that it resulted in But participating in the world's most coveted tournament is good for business. Geofan Bronckhorst hasn't been sitting still this summer, and he and his sports director Ross Wilson have been busy with his seven contracts for the summer.
Malik Tillman, Antonio Korac, Tom Lawrence and Ravi Matondo will continue to build momentum in the final third, and hopefully Ridvan Ilmaz, Ben Davies and John Suter will bring something to the backline. increase. But what happens next if Ruud van Nistelrooy's team remains sidelined in front of their fans next week? Record Sport understands that if UEFA's wealth is unleashed, the club will transition to his two types of players, so Rangers look to strengthen. applied where it is likely to be.
Defensive Midfielder
At first glance, the Rangers' midfield base player doesn't look like a clear starting point. But given that the two started in the engine room alongside John Lundstram have been chopped up and changed this season, it may be where Dutch and his signature chief start. Scouser is a veritable cult-his hero who, in addition to ibrox lore, has had a series of amazing exhibits on the continent. But Glenn Kamara has not been a guaranteed starter this season, with Scott Arfield and Steven Davis each getting shots in their European clashes with Union Saint-Giroise and his PSV. Kamara is under contract with Salernitana in Serie A, but now he has three years left on his contract with Ibrox, so he will likely need a big payout.
Ryan Jack also started the season. For much of the early stages, I saw the brief and left. The Scotland international has not appeared as a substitute in three of his six appearances for Ibrox. He was substituted after 67 minutes in his first game against USG on chastisement night at Leuven. He was reduced to his six-minute cameo appearance on opening day against Livingstone, but played a full game against St. Johnston in his 4-0 cruise to Ibrox last Saturday. did. There are clear signs that midfield dynamics are changing under the Van Bronk host, and a trip to the market could bolster that if they reach the Champions League.
Fresh Forwards
It fits that criteria sometimes, having good personnel issues and being able to keep Alfredo Morelos on hold. Rangers bosses have closed an investigation into why the Colombian didn't come off the bench against PSV, with the Dutchman claiming Korac's efforts gave him the chance to see the game. If so, it is highly unlikely that he will sign the new number 9. But teams that play 4-3-3 are always looking for players who can play multiple positions up front. Take Tillman, mentioned earlier, for example. The Bayern Munich loan player has played here and there in his fledgling career. The USA national team is doing its best right behind the striker, but has played both right and left for club and country over the last 18 months.
In his same situation as Morelos, He will likely be a long-term man if he agrees to new terms to extend his contract beyond next summer, with the right flank of the front three to be targeted. Both Tillman and Lawrence can start on that side, and Scott Wright is also in the mix for gametime.
Wild card.
The Rangers sparked a manic transfer deadline day with a box office win for Aaron Ramsey in January. It was a move that Chris Boyd declared to be the biggest signing in Scottish football since Paul Gascoigne. But in reality it looked like a gamble long before the Welsh player missed the decisive penalty in the Europa League final.
is unlikely to cringe if another marquee deal is offered, but both Wilson and van Bronckhorst recently reminded us of the pitfalls involved in betting everything on a world star. Ramsey's injury history at Glasgow has never been an easy one, so it's worth keeping in mind when it comes to big business in the future. Also, even without qualifying for the Champions League, Rangers will try to get one or two of his players. However, it relies on off-roaders like Nicola Katic and Stephen Kelly, and Jack Simpson has passed away.
