The next striker that Rangers will be recruiting is not Lawrence Shankland.

Although Nils Koppen was unable to sign a center forward during the January transfer window, Kenny Miller thinks he may already have another attacker lined up to join Rangers.

The BBC analyst stated on Sunday, February 4th, on the Daily Record website that the Gers are now putting more thought into their recruiting after Colombian winger Oscar Cortes was considered for a “long time” by the team prior to his loan move from Lens, a French team, to Ibrox.

He continued by saying that he never thought the Light Blues would sign Lawrence Shankland due to the amount of money Hearts were requesting following a change in transfer policy implemented by manager Philippe Clement and new head of football recruiting Koppen.

Rangers want to spend their money well.

Without a doubt, Rangers required a shift in their hiring strategy after Michael Beale’s squad revamp at Ibrox last summer.

The former manager of the Gers was essentially allowed to bring in whoever he wanted, with little regard for how their hiring would help the team both now and down the road.

It seems that the current approach is to bring in younger players who can contribute to the first team now and who will only get better in the future, which could result in the club paying large transfer fees for them.
