Rangers legend says club ‘need to strengthen’ as £15 million defender makes transfer admission.
Ally McCoist, a Rangers icon, has identified three areas that he believes the Ibrox club needs to improve.
Hero of the Rangers goal scoring department Ally McCoist says the team “needs starters” and urged them to sign players in January.
McCoist thinks the team needs to get stronger if they want to challenge Celtic for the championship in May.
Head coach Philippe Clement has been linked to a number of players throughout the January transfer window, but he has only been able to bring in
Fabio Silva from Wolverhampton Wanders on a loan deal until the end of the season.
“Rangers have got to strengthen. The centre forward area is a concern with Danilo being out injured” said McCoist.
“Wide areas certainly need strengthening and probably another midfielder. At the back Tavernier’s return has been ridiculous. (Ridvan) Yilmaz was
nearly away to Verona but that seems to be on hold. So it doesn’t look like there’s going to be a lot of chances defensively and I don’t think defence is
a priority for Rangers. The goalkeeper has been out of this world” explained the former striker.
With Yilmaz said to be leaving the team and Borna Barisic’s contract expiring in the summer, the Gers have been connected to several left back
deals. Nevertheless, they haven’t been able to assemble the necessary numbers, with Clement acknowledging he could have to “get creative” in the
window.
Harry Souttar, a major summer transfer target for Rangers, has revealed his dissatisfaction with his present team, Leicester City, stating he wants to
play more frequently after making just three appearances for the team vying for the EFL Championship championship.
The brother of Rangers player John, Souttar, stated he is aware that frequent football activity is necessary to maintain his spot in the Australian national team.
“The boys have performed incredibly well this season, but it’s been a frustrating period for me personally at the club.”
There’s a reason they are in the league where they are. I can’t be too critical. They’re doing a terrific job if that’s what the boss wants,” Souttar, who is now playing for the Socceroos in the Asian Cup, said.
“I feel fantastic. I believe I demonstrated during the World Cup that even after missing a year of football due to an ACL injury, I could still play at a high level. I feel even better since I’ve been training and staying fit, so it’s definitely different this time,” he continued.
