Rangers presented transfer open goal as administration experts hired by crisis club
Rangers will need to add to their squad in several key areas during the upcoming January transfer window.
The Gers have made a terrible start in the Premiership, and will need to drastically upgrade the options that are available to them if they are to have any chance of salvaging their season.
Rangers captain James Tavernier slammed his team’s performance in Thursday’s embarrassing 3-0 defeat to Brann in the Europa League, which highlighted the frailties within the group yet again.
Danny Rohl and Kevin Thelwell simply have to get the winter window right if they are to begin to turn the ship around, and things may be about to get significantly easier for them when it comes to one particular target.
Sheffield Wednesday administration hands Rangers open goal for Pierce Charles
Rangers were linked with a move for Pierce Charles during the summer transfer window, but ultimately failed to meet Sheffield Wednesday’s valuation of the talented young goalkeeper.
The Govan outfit saw a bid of over £1million knocked back by the Owls, who valued their starlet at a fee of around £4m at the time.
However, the situation could now be about to change drastically following the latest sorry development at Hillsborough.
The English Championship side have filed for administration, according to Alan Nixon via his Patreon account, with controversial owner Dejphon Chansiri understood to have been tempted into action after HMRC readied a winding-up order on Thursday.
Begbies Traynor are the party that will be helping the South Yorkshire outfit with their finances, with the firm having previously worked with Wigan Athletic and Blackpool in the past.
The latest development regarding Wednesday’s situation looks set to play straight into Rangers’ hands regarding their interest in Charles.
If they still want to bring him to Ibrox in January, they will surely have an open goal to seal a cut-price deal, as the administrators will be desperate to act on saleable assets in order to keep the club afloat.
Sal Bibbo the driving force behind Pierce Charles pursuit
Rangers’ interest in Charles was believed to have stemmed from Sal Bibbo, who worked alongside the youngster at Sheffield Wednesday.
The Rangers goalkeeping coach has been kept in his role during the transition from Russell Martin’s reign to Rohl’s, and he knows exactly what the youngster is capable of from their time together previously.
Thelwell is also keen on the Northern Ireland international, who forced himself into the team ahead of the highly-rated James Beadle in the latter stages of the 2024025.
Charles would be an excellent signing for Rangers in the future, and they have now been handed the perfect opportunity to get a deal done.
