Hansa Rostock chiefs take drastic measure after ‘shock’ Ryan Naderi exit to Rangers
Hansa Rostock manager Daniel Brinkmann wasn’t expecting Rangers to sign Ryan Naderi in the final hours of the winter transfer window.
At first, all the 40-year-old head coach could express was “shock”, with the 3. Liga club losing one of their most important players on deadline day.
The saga to sign Naderi took many twists and turns at Ibrox, but in the end, the Gers agreed to pay £5.2million to sign the striker immediately.
As Danny Rohl got three points against Kilmarnock in the 5-1 win on 4 February, the German centre-forward showed what he can bring to the team after coming on as a second-half substitute.
The 22-year-old’s Sofascore stats at Hansa Rostock are a glimpse into what the Glaswegian outfit’s fans can expect.
Ryan Naderi sale to Rangers explained to Hansa Rostock first team
Hansa Rostock’s sporting director Amir Shapourzadeh, CEO Ronal Maul and two representatives of the supervisory board held a personal talk with the first team after selling Naderi, according to Ostsee Zeitung.
The news outlet reports on 6 February that the 3. Liga’s hierarchy explained the decision of parting ways with the striker to the dressing room, which arguably feels a bit drastic.
Naderi will surely be a pivotal addition to Rohl’s squad, and the centre-forward may be the final piece of the puzzle for the former Sheffield Wednesday boss in G51 to compete for the William Hill Premiership title.
As things stand, the Light Blues are just three points behind league leaders Hearts, and the second half of the season undoubtedly will be exciting for fans at Ibrox.
The other winter signings — Tochi Chukwuani, Tuur Rommens and Andreas Skov Olsen — have also shown exceptional quality so far.
The Glaswegian outfit’s supporters will hope they now have enough to end the season with silverware after an abysmal start to the season under Russell Martin, but only time will tell how Naderi will fare in Scotland.
Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises at risk of Ibrox ridicule
Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises’ start at Ibrox didn’t get off to the best of starts, with the appointment of Martin and Kevin Thelwell failing miserably.
Despite a significant summer investment at Rangers under the new ownership, the squad was arguably worse off than last season.
The US consortium risked ridicule at the Light Blues had they failed in their recruitment strategyduring the winter window, but things seem to be working out under Rohl.
It looks like the Glaswegian outfit are building a foundation to succeed, and it remains to be seen whether they will reap their rewards at the end of the campaign.
