David Edgar reacts as Juninho Bacuna set for Rangers exit
David Edgar has shared his reaction on Twitter after it was confirmed that Juninho Bacuna is set to leave Rangers this month.
According to reports from the Daily Record, Championship outfit Birmingham City are on the verge of securing his signing on a permanent deal.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst is open to allowing him to return to the Championship this month.
Bacuna, who joined Rangers from Huddersfield in August, has struggled for regular game time, and writing on the Heart and Hand Podcast’s official Twitter account, the club’s official media partner suggested that he won’t be missed.
Edgar wrote (26 January): “Can’t say I’d be disappointed if Bacuna leaves. Hasn’t worked out.”
Lack of depth?
Steven Gerrard signed Bacuna but the move didn’t work out for him.
He featured in the 4-0 win over Stirling Albion in the Scottish Cup clash (21 January) but overall has struggled to make an impact.
He netted his only goal for the club in a win over Ross Country back in November.
While it’s true that he hasn’t made enough contribution, clearly losing him now would mean the Gers are lacking in depth.
Ianis Hagi is now out for the rest of the season following his operation on his knee.
There is a feeling Alex Lowry will take his place, but it’s not fair to put too much pressure on the young kid.
Although the likes of Ryan Jack and Scott Arfield have returned from injuries, Rangers do need first-team quality players.
The transfer window has been uninspiring for the Gers so far as they only managed to sign James Sands on loan from New York City.
In other Rangers news, this Eastern European ace may emerge as a target for the Gers in the last few days of the window.
