£6m defender set for Champions League debut and Rangers will surely be watching.
Rangers missed out on Scott McKenna, but they will undoubtedly see him in action for FC Copenhagen against Manchester City in the Champions League tonight.
Rangers fans had hoped to see a center back arrive in January, but that did not happen.
Philippe Clement and Nils Koppen concentrated on bringing in attacking players, including Fabio Silva, Mohamed Diomande, and Oscar Cortes.
Rangers may prioritize defensive acquisitions in the summer, with one Scotland international still on their radar.
Rangers must watch Scott McKenna in Champions League action tonight
In January, there were little rumors about center backs. However, Scott McKenna was connected with a move to Ibrox.
Rangers are reportedly interested in signing McKenna from Nottingham Forest, who paid roughly £6 million for him from Aberdeen in 2020.
McKenna’s contract with Forest expires this summer, and Rangers may have been looking for a deal to lure him back to Scotland.
Rangers missed out before the deadline when McKenna made a surprise move to Denmark, joining FC Copenhagen on loan until the summer.
McKenna just played for Copenhagen in the Atlantic Cup, but he’ll be thrown into the deep end tonight when Copenhagen takes on Manchester City in the Champions League.
The Scot will be tasked with dealing with Erling Haaland, and Rangers will be keeping an eye on how he performs in this crucial match.
McKenna is only on loan at Copenhagen and will be a free agent this summer when his Forest deal expires.
Rangers still have a chance to sign McKenna in the summer, and he fits the bill as a low-cost acquisition with Scottish experience and a natural left-footed defensive option.
Tonight will be a difficult challenge for McKenna, but Rangers must continue to keep tabs on him and consider a potential summer trade to make himConnor Goldson’s center-back partner.
