Dave King has been outspoken in the last few days about the quality of Rangers’ work in the transfer market.
In fact, the ex-Rangers chairman went as far to say the club has ‘wasted’ the limited resources they had amassed in the battle for Scottish Premiership supremacy with Celtic.Since Steven Gerrard guided the Gers to 55 in 2021, the club has let slip its brief grip on the domestic league title with Celtic once again marching off ahead.
The signings that Rangers have made have proven expensive failures with few from the last three seasons leaving a lasting and effective impression.
But could one of the club’s most substantial outlays of the period now be back on track to finally repay the Ibrox side’s investment?When Rangers signed Tom Lawrence in the summer of 2022, the move was labelled something of a coup.
John Bennett claimed Rangers had successfully lured Lawrence to Govan at the end of his Derby Counry contract despite substantial interest from across the Premier League.
In fact, the recruitment of Lawrence was viewed as the purchase of a Premier League quality footballer in his prime who could immediately affect games.
