Rangers have expanded their search and cast their net wider in this summer transfer window, according to Chris Jack.

The Rangers Review journalist reported on 6 June that along with Ecuador and Colombia, the club are also looking at options in the Far East.

Nils Koppen is leading the charge for the Ibrox outfit with a data-drive approach to new signings.

Jack wrote: "Rangers are expanding their search and casting the net wider. Markets of interest now include the likes of Ecuador and Colombia, as well as leagues in the Far East and others outside the big five in Europe.

"A track record at PSV Eindhoven was crucial to Koppen emerging as the prime candidate from a list of around ten names and he is at the forefront of a data-driven approach to recruitment."

Nils Koppen must unearth gems for Rangers

Koppen's data-driven approach can be a strategic advantage for the club.

By exploring leagues in Ecuador, Colombia and the Far East, Gers can tap into markets that are often overlooked by the bigger European clubs.

This approach allows them to identify and sign talented players who might not be on the radar of the top leagues, potentially at a lower cost.

Moreover, a data-driven approach to recruitment can help the club make more informed decisions about potential signings.

By analysing a player's performance data, Rangers can better assess their fit within the team and their potential to contribute to the club's success.
