Kris Boyd destroys Nedim Bajrami as Rangers exit claim made
Rangers secured the services of Nedim Bajrami last summer for a £3million fee from Sassuolo.
However, the Albanian failed to hit the ground running at Ibrox and has not established himself as a first-team regular yet.
Kris Boyd has been critical of the 26-year-old for him being underwhelming throughout the 2024/25 campaign.
Boyd issues Ibrox exit verdict on Bajrami
Before the second leg against Athletic Bilbao, Gers take on Aberdeen in the league.
Boyd expects Barry Ferguson not to risk players that are carrying niggles as he would want to be spoiled for choice on Thursday.
This means that Bajrami could get a chance to make a rare start for Rangers and prove his worth.
The former Gers striker believes that the Albania international is fighting for his future at Ibrox.

He has branded his time in Glasgow so far as a “huge disappointment” and is hoping to see more from him.
Boyd told the Sun: “But Fergie, with Bilbao on the horizon, will understandably take no chances on anyone carrying any niggles.
“That could open the door for the likes of Nedim Bajrami, who let’s not forget cost Gers over £3million last summer.
“The Albanian attacker has been a huge disappointment and is now playing for his future.”
Rangers may decide to part ways with Bajrami in the summer
Bajrami’s future at Ibrox hangs in the balance, and if he doesn’t elevate his performances in the coming weeks, the new manager may justifiably opt to cash in on him during the summer transfer window.
Signed in the summer, the 26-year-old Albanian attacking midfielder arrived with high expectations but has struggled to make an impact, managing only three goal involvements in 18 appearances this season.
His lack of consistency and minimal defensive contributions have frustrated fans and raised doubts about his fit in the squad.
With Rangers under financial pressure and the 49ers Enterprises project demanding a squad overhaul, retaining an underperforming player risks wasting resources.
If Bajrami fails to prove his worth, especially with his contract running until 2027, selling him could fund stronger signings, aligning with the manager’s vision to rebuild a competitive team for domestic and European challenges.
