Kris Boyd believes Nedim Bajrami is showing signs that he could be at the centre of revitalising Rangers after a poor start to the season.
The Albanian was signed for £3.4m on transfer deadline day from Sassuolo in a move that probably surprised most Rangers fans on the night.And Bajrami seems to be living up to his price tag with some impressive performances of late for Philippe Clement’s side.
Boyd is in the same school of thought and thinks amid a gloomy start to the season for Rangers, Bajrami is proving to be a glimmer of hope.
And the former Ibrox striker, writing in his weekly column for The Scottish Sun, went as far as saying the 25-year-old reminds him of tricky winger Ryan Kent who used to torment defences in the Scottish Premiership.Boyd wrote: “Nedim Bajrami specialises in early starts. He broke the Euros record in June when he scored for Albania against Italy in just 23 seconds.
“And on Thursday night he fired Rangers into the lead in Malmo after 56 seconds. He’s quickly finding a place in the hearts of Gers fans — at a time when they were desperate for a spark of fresh hope.
“Make no mistake, Bajrami walked into a sea of negativity when he signed from Sassuolo on transfer deadline day. Rangers were out of Ibrox and also dumped out of the Champions League.
