Aasgaard’s 1.88m frame adds physicality, while his Championship experience ensures readiness for the Scottish Premiership’s intensity.
His signing would bolster the Ibrox outfit’s midfield creativity, support their European ambitions, and maintain his international prospects, making him a high-impact addition for the Ibrox outfit.
