Kenny Miller urges Rangers to sign striker, centre-back before closure of transfer window
Kenny Miller believes that Rangers should look to sign a striker and a centre-back before the end of the ongoing transfer window.
The Gers have been very active this summer where they’ve made as many as seven first-team signings already.
However, Miller, while talking to Sky Sports as quoted by Football Scotland, suggested that Rangers must look to add at least two more players before the end of the window.
“It might depend on what kind of business gets done the other way,” he said. “There’s a lot of reports surrounding Alfredo Morelos, obviously.
“Ryan Kent is even getting linked with a move. Glen Kamara has been subject of a bit of interest over the last few weeks as well.
“If everybody was to stay, I still think the Champions League gives you the ability to go and strengthen the squad and give it a healthier look to fire on four fronts.
“For me, a striker potentially, depending on Alfredo and Kemar Roofe’s fitness. Even a centre-back needs to maybe be looked at.
“James Sands has done well over the last few looks and he’s played his part in getting the team through to the Champions League in the early stage of the season.
“I think Connor Goldson moving forward needs a more stable partner, someone who that is their position. I know James Sands can play right-back, centre-mid and he does play centre-back for his national team, but maybe another centre-back.”
Good beginning
Rangers entered the season hoping to better what they did in the previous campaign where they finished as the runners up in the Europa League after losing to Eintracht Frankfurt and also won the Scottish Cup.
Just few weeks into the new season, the fans would’ve been feeling that their side have already improved on what they did in the previous campaign as this year, the Gers will be playing in Europe’s elite club competition — UEFA Champions League — after beating the likes of Union SG and PSV Eindhoven in the qualification round.
Playing in a competition as tough as the Champions League require squad depth as a lot of teams are found wanting when few of their important players get injured or are suspended and that’s exactly what highlighted by Miller.
Therefore, it is important that Giovanni van Bronckhorst will look into this and try to bring in a few more bodies before the end of the transfer window to ensure that there will be no hick ups going forward.
