What Rangers must now do after record Elijah Just transfer agreement elsewhere

Rangers will now need to look for alternatives for Motherwell attacker Elijah Just.

The Gers have been linked with a move for the New Zealand international this summer, but it seems like he's on his way down south.

With Derek McInnes desperate for additions on the wings, missing out on the 26-year-old will surely be disappointing.

Just would have arguably been the perfect signing at Ibrox after being nominated for the PFA Scotland Player of the Year award.

The versatile playmaker, who can play in multiple positions in the midfield and attack, scored seven goals and provided eight assists last season.

After Mikey Moore's departure, the Glaswegian outfit need to clearly add some creativity to their ranks, and their next step should be just that.

Who can Rangers target after Elijah Just transfer blow

Ibrox News exclusively spoke to Just's former New Zealand coach Declan Edge, who admitted the forward would be thinking long and hard about his next destination.

Swansea now look set to win the race for the talented attacker as he looks set to reunite with Stephen Welsh in Wales.

According to the Daily Record on 19 July, the Swans have decided to match Motherwell's asking price, who have been adamant about selling Just only if a record fee was tabled.

The Glaswegian outfit arguably need to move on and identify who they will bring in to strengthen their squad.

Vaclav Cerny's return to Ibrox this summer would make sense and that's who the Govan side should now go all out for.

How much Valclav Cerny could cost at Ibrox

Rangers had an opportunity to sign Cerny permanently last summer but decided against it.

After an impressive loan spell at the Gers, then-interim head coach Barry Ferguson wanted to see the Czech international return to Govan.

Speaking to the media when he was still the manager, the Scot said, "Cerny is a difference-maker and his work without the ball has been excellent. I would love to see him stay at the club."

Cerny could now cost £8.5million at Ibrox, but former Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah's possible move to Besiktas could help lower the ex-Wolfsburg attacker's valuation.

Fans in G51 are anticipating more business from the Govan side, with the squad still lacking in quality and depth in many areas.
