Rangers’ summer rebuild could probably have done with going on another couple of weeks.
The Ibrox squad has been revamped under the stewardship of Philippe Clement, Nils Koppen and John Bennett this summer but there remains big questions around the work that’s been done.Several of the club’s most experienced players have moved on, whilst those youthful figures who’ve come in haven’t done enough to convince Rangers supporters of their credentials to date.
The pressure is rising, the scrutiny too, and Rangers manager Clement will soon feel the wrath if he cannot salvage some good feeling from a season careering towards a cliff edge.
But in the final hours of the summer window, with many on the jury already delivering their verdict, could the Ibrox leadership’s salvation have come in the shape of a £3.4m Albanian?Rangers fans haven’t had much to cheer about in the last few weeks but excitement over the addition of Nedim Bajrami is certainly building.
The attacking midfielder has been impressing on international duties with Albanian media lauding Bajrami following the nation’s 2-1 win ‘away’ to Ukraine in the Czech Republic.
Now, it’s been the turn of Albania’s Brazilian coach Sylvinho to hail the ‘outstanding’ Nedim and according to the former Arsenal and Barcelona left-back, the Gers have a ‘big talent’ on their hands.
