Rangers’ gamble on Nasser Djiga is already proving an expensive one, with the defender’s move to Ibrox costing the club millions without delivering the expected impact. Signed to add solidity at the back, Djiga has struggled to find form, leaving fans and pundits questioning the wisdom of the deal.
The financial outlay on the Burkina Faso international is a concern for Rangers, especially at a time when every penny matters in their pursuit of domestic dominance and European progression. His lack of consistency has raised doubts about whether he can adapt to the demands of Scottish football.
This is where Wolves sporting director Kevin Thelwell comes in. Having overseen Djiga’s career at Molineux, Thelwell could be the one to end Rangers’ headache by taking the player back to England. A move back to Wolves would free up Rangers’ wage bill and allow Philippe Clement to reinvest in areas of greater need.
For now, the pressure is on Djiga to prove his worth. But unless he finds form quickly, the Ibrox hierarchy may be forced to consider cutting their losses – with Thelwell and Wolves the most obvious escape route.
