Relegated Premier League team releases £20 million striker who ‘hopes’ to play for Rangers.

This summer, the Rangers have made headlines for their pursuit of new players.

Despite the club’s well-documented struggles in front of goal last season, the Gers are yet to acquire a new frontman.

Kemar Roofe leaves Rangers with a handshake, while Danilo recovers from a knee injury.

Cyriel Dessers, the club’s top goalscorer last season, has been linked with a move to Greece.

With uncertainty about Brighton loanee Abdallah Sima’s future, Govan is experiencing a lack of scoring opportunities.

The latest release from a relegated Premier League team will likely surprise Rangers fans.

The Scotland international striker, 28, also alienated some members of the Tartan Army by publicly supporting Glasgow’s blue side.

Despite costing Sheffield United £20 million to sign him from Swansea in 2019, the striker’s performance has been inconsistent over the past few seasons.

McBurnie is out of the Scotland squad after scoring six Premier League goals last season, which were insufficient to keep Sheffield United in the top tier.

The Blades have announced Oliver McBurnie’s resignation after a five-year stay at Bramall Lane, during which he scored 29 goals in 159 games.

McBurnie follows John Egan, Ben Osborn, and Daniel Jebbison in departing Sheffield United at the end of their contracts.

£20 million striker ‘hopes’ to play for Rangers.

Rangers are now suffering from a severe lack of goals, as previously stated.

The new season is quickly approaching, and Moroccan striker Hamza Igamane is expected to join the team, although his participation in the Olympics is uncertain.

Other names mentioned include Albion Rrahmani, however Rangers are currently short on players and want reinforcements.

Step forth, Oliver McBurnie.

A few months back, the Scotland international hitman stated on the Stomping Ground podcast that he aspires to play for the “special” Rangers.

“Rangers is a special club,” stated McBurnie.

“Have you ever visited the Old Firm?” I’ve been to a lot of Old Firms, and I’ve never seen a game like this, either playing or watching.

“Most people who have ever visited them will say the same.

“Growing up, I was a huge Rangers fan, and this is something I’ve always wanted to do. It’s all about timing.

“I hope to play for the Rangers at the end of my career.” I hope I get to experience that side of things.

“If not, I don’t. But I hope that by the end of my career, I will be able to say that I have played in an Old Firm.

Although we are unsure about the Sheffield United striker, Philippe Clement has expressed interest in gaining experience at Ibrox.

This follows a wave of deals that have centred on young players with high ceilings.

Oliver McBurnie may not be the most glamorous option, but what about a technically sound, lanky striker who supports the Bears, similar to Kyle Lafferty? We can be convinced.

It’s a move that would also irritate the appropriate individuals north of the border.
