Ibrox hierarchy given ‘unbelievable’ transfer demand in new Rangers verdict
Rangers are yet to confirm any new signings for Danny Rohl in the winter transfer window.
Celtic have sacked Wilfried Nancy and have already made moves to bolster their squad in January.
Rohl has multiple transfer targets at Ibrox, but it remains to be seen how long it will take the Gers to get some of their deals over the line.
The German manager has slowly helped the Glaswegian outfit claw their way closer to the top of the William Hill Premiership, currently sitting level on points with their Old Firm rivals and six points behind league leaders Hearts.
Rangers January signings to define season for Danny Rohl
Andy Halliday believes the Gers will have to have an “unbelievable” transfer window to win the league title.
The Motherwell ace, who played at Ibrox between 2015 and 2020, feels the Light Blues need multiple first-team signings to compete with Hearts.
Additions in the defence, midfield and attack are seemingly necessary for Rohl to end the season on a high note.
Speaking on Open Goal on 5 January, Halliday said, “Rangers need to have an unbelievable January transfer window for me to win the league. They need to sign three to four starters.”
The Scotsman added, “This is why, from Rangers’ point of view, you hope that it’s not a case of the board thinking, ‘Rohl has come in, he’s doing really well with these players. Maybe we don’t need as many players.’ They do. Rangers need three to four starters, minimum. Centre-half, left-back, central-midfielder, winger and striker. They need starters in every one of those positions.”
Cavenagh can show his intent at Ibrox soon with some big-money arrivals, and fans in G51 will surely be keeping a close eye on the business that could potentially be done in the coming weeks.
Thelo Aasgaard dilemma emerges at Ibrox
Thelo Aasgaard has been decent in recent weeks for Rohl, but the Norway international had a game to forget at Parkhead.
Rangers were poor in the first half against Celtic, but a second-half comeback saw them win 3-1, reigniting hopes of winning the league title this season.
Most of Kevin Thelwell’s signings have shown inconsistency at the Light Blues, and the hierarchy in G51 now have to decide who’s good enough to stay and succeed under Rohl.
Aasgaard has been hit and miss during his stint at Ibrox, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Glaswegian outfit cut their losses on the midfielder in the foreseeable future.
