Barry Ferguson expresses his “no doubt” assessment of Rangers’ January transfer decision as a potential new striker arriving at Ibrox.

Barry Ferguson stated in a recent statement regarding the January transfer window at Ibrox that there is “no doubt” Rangers need to acquire at least one new forward.

Fabio Silva is the sole new player to join Philippe Clement’s squad at Ibrox this month; he is a forward from Portugal who is loaned to Wolves for the duration of the season.

Ferguson, however, has pushed Clement to begin “wheeling and dealing” as he has urged the Light Blues to add to their misfiring frontline before the end of the month, knowing that the window is becoming closer and closer.

On January 19, at 14:50, he appeared on The Go Radio Football Show and stated: “I still think they need another forward player, there’s no doubt about that.” Sima is obviously not playing for his country, and the management undoubtedly wants to bolster everyone on the field.

But when it comes to money, he’ll have to play a little sleight of hand. Sincerely, I believe he knows what he wants; the question is whether he’ll get it now or in the summer, but I have no doubt he’ll give it his all.

“I have no doubt that the Rangers board will make every effort to assist him in achieving that.”

Playing around

It was thought that Clement would finally be ready to make an impact on this Rangers team with a few high-caliber players to help the Gers advance and defeat Celtic going into the January transfer window at Ibrox.

But after 20 days, there has been very little business coming in; Silva is the only new employee, and there isn’t any sign that any more will be joining very soon.

It might make for an extremely uncomfortable second half of the season at Ibrox this year if Rangers don’t get things going and Clement doesn’t start scheming to make sure his team can keep up with Celtic.

As Ferguson said, let’s hope the Belgian and Clement keep giving it their all and the Gers can get at least one more striker over the finish line before the end of January.
