Despite an immense overhaul in the Summer, January was always going to be busy for Rangers.
A total of 15 players joined the club whilst 25 left (10 permanently, 15 on loan). That leaves a gap of 10 players in Gerrard’s squad – how thin it is has also been tested at times this year.
There’s a serious lack of quality depth in midfield and up top. There have also been question marks over our defence.
But with the January transfer window looming, three players are reported to be interesting the Ibrox giants.
A creative midfielder, a powerful striker and a towering centre half
Perhaps the most widely reported is a swoop for ex-Captain Steven Davis. The Belfast Telegraph have claimed it is a done deal. Even at 33 the midfielder is a step up from what Rangers have as a creative midfielder. I’d consider this a real coup for the club. If there is a title race, you can bet Davis will be one of the one’s leading the charge.
The next is Dominic Solanke. The Liverpool and England talent is a powerful, handful of a striker. He’s also been almost perpetually linked with Rangers since Gerrard took the job. TalkSport claimed the deal was done last month. The Sun have claimed today that the move is on after Rangers axed Umar Sadiq’s loan deal.
And finally, the latest to be linked is AEK Athens defender Vassilis Lambropoulos. According to Greek news outlet SDNA Rangers are set to snap up the powerful defender between January and the end of the season. He played a blinder against Celtic in the Champions League qualifiers. As well as that, Rangers have had scouts in Greece for a while.
Are these the three Gerrard wants in to complete his squad for this season? If not, where else do we need to improve?
