Rangers make approach to sign Josh Doig as £5m+ transfer update emerges from Verona
Rangers have made an approach to sign defender Josh Doig from Hellas Verona, according to the Daily Record.
The newspaper reported on its website on Monday (1 January) that the Gers are eyeing the former Hibernian man as a potential solution to solve their left-back problems.
It added that the Serie A side are open to cashing in on the 21-year-old Scotsman, but it remains to be seen whether the Light Blues will meet their £5.5million valuation.
Fits the bill
It’s been widely documented that Philippe Clement isn’t too happy with his options at left-back and that he is looking to strengthen in that area of the pitch in January.
It doesn’t come as too much of a surprise, either, as Borna Barisic’s deal is due to run out at the end of the campaign and Ridvan Yilmaz has largely failed to impress.
The perfect option would be to bring in a young player who knows the league and has plenty of potential to prove – and Doig is someone who fits that description well.
The Scotsman has 53 SPFL appearances under his belt following his time in Edinburgh, while he’s also played 32 times in Serie A since signing for Verona in 2022.
Whether or not the Gers will be willing to pay his £5.5million valuation is anyone’s guess, but he is certainly the type of player they should be looking to sign during this transfer window.
In other Rangers news, one player is surely finished at Ibrox after a signing has already been confirmed.
