Daniel Candeias worth much more to Rangers than his market value

Daniel Candeias had struggled to settle down during his career, before securing a move to Rangers in 2017.
He looks at home at Ibrox, though, and lets hope he isn’t going anywhere soon.

The Portuguese is an integral part of the side, providing great width on the right flank.
More recently, though, he’s been offering a lot more in the final third.
Against Kilmarnock, in the Scottish Cup fifth round replay, he put on a masterclass in wide play.

Candeias racked up a hat-trick of assists, putting the first two goals in particular, on a plate for the Colombian.
It’s that kind of performance that makes his £900k Transfermarkt valuation look well off the mark.

Unlike for his teammate, James Tavernier, an eight figure fee is well out of the question.

On his day though, he’s some player.
It’s fair to say that having been given a run in the side, he’s performing at the peak of his powers at the minute.
Therefore, if another club were to come knocking in the summer, surely an offer of under £1 million, would be laughed off.
