As Rangers scouts descended on Greece to watch Luis Palma, it was another player in Hwang In-beom who impressed.
Reports earlier in the week had claimed that the Gers were set to watch Aris winger Luis Palma in a clash with Olympiakos.
The Hondouran attacker was hooked in the clash in an eventual 2-2 draw and it didn’t give Rangers fans much of an insight into the player.
But at the same another player who has been linked to Rangers in Hwang In-beom impressed for the opposition team Olympiakos.

Rangers were linked with Hwang In-beom earlier in the campaign alongside Dimitrios Kourbelis and Fotis Ioannidis.
The midfielder netted the opening goal in the clash between Olympiakos and Aris, his fourth goal of a productive season.
Rangers fans might also recognise the 26-year-old from the World Cup, where he turned out for the South Korea national team, for whom he’s earned 43 caps.
If those earlier Rangers links to Hwang In-beom were legitimate, then the Olympiakos midfielder must’ve surely impressed those scouts on Luis Palma watch.
