Kieran Dowell and Ben Davies transfer ‘in limbo’ after Rangers development
Kieran Dowell and Ben Davies will have to wait to understand their future at Rangers due to one condition at Ibrox.
The 27-year-old midfielder and the 29-year-old centre-back will return to the Gers after their loan deals with Birmingham City expire.
Dowell and Davies could return to the League One champions in the upcoming transfer window, but that decision will need to wait due to certain developments at the Light Blues.
The two Englishmen still have one year left on their contracts at the Glaswegian outfit, but their fates could potentially be decided soon.
Rangers to make decision on Dowell and Davies transfer after new manager appointment
Dowell and Davies’ futures can be decided once the Gers appoint a new permanent manager, according to Birmingham Live.
The news outlet reports (10 May) that the managerial situation at the Light Blues must be cleared up before any action is taken regarding the attacking midfielder and defender.
| Player | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| Dowell | 23 | 5 | 5 |
| Davies | 44 | 1 | 1 |
It’s been claimed that Birmingham want to sign the 29-year-old centre-back on a permanent transfer, having played a pivotal role in their success after joining on loan last summer.
As for Dowell, after failing to get regular minutes at the Bears this season, he joined the Blues temporarily in the winter transfer window, but it remains to be seen what the future holds for him.
49ers Enterprises must build balanced squad for next manager at Ibrox
49ers Enterprises and Andrew Cavenagh’s takeover at the Gers is 90 per cent complete, according to Dave King, and it seems like only a matter of time before they arrive.
The US consortium have tasked Gretar Steinsson with hiring a new manager at Ibrox, and it’ll be interesting to see who takes charge after Barry Ferguson.
While there is some talk among supporters to stick with the interim head coach for another season, that feels out of the question due to the Light Blues’ poor domestic record under him.
Rangers should appoint someone capable of bringing the best out of the players and capable of competing with Celtic in the Scottish Premiership.
The Hoops have now won four Scottish Premiership titles in a row, showcasing their dominance over the years.
Not only will a new head coach determine the players who are surplus to requirements at Ibrox, they’ll also be important in determining the profile of players the Bears sign next summer.
Fans expect the prospective new owners to bring financial stability at the Glaswegian outfit, which will undoubtedly be essential in the long run.
