Rangers are interested in signing the Blackpool starlet Tony Weston. As per Football Insider, the Ibrox outfit have already opened talks to sign the player. It will be interesting to see if they can agree on a deal with his club. The 16-year-old is highly talented and he has already played for Blackpool’s first team.

Weston cannot sign a professional deal with Blackpool until September, when he turns 17. Rangers will be hoping to lure him to Scotland before that as it would cost less.

Report: Rangers want former PL forward, Gerrard keen on Belgian winger as well

Rangers are interested in improving their attacking options this summer. As per reports (via Daily Record), they have identified Saido Berahino and Manuel Benson as targets. The Ibrox outfit have Alfredo Morelos as their star striker but the Colombian has been linked with a move away from the club this summer. To be fair to Morelos, he has proven himself time and again in Scotland and a player of his ability needs to make a step up now. He is good enough to play for a better team and it will be interesting to see if he gets a move in the coming months. Perhaps Berahino and Benson would be his replacements. It remains to be seen how the summer unfolds for Rangers. They will be hoping to keep their stars and bring in new players so that they can challenge Celtic for the title next season. Be...

Popular pundit urges Rangers to ‘get the deal done quickly’ for technically gifted ace

Noel Whelan has urged Rangers to complete the signing of Ianis Hagi soon. The midfielder was on loan at the club and he managed to impress for Steven Gerrard’s side. The Ibrox outfit have an option to sign the player permanently this summer as well. It is expected that the Scottish giants will take up that option and keep Hagi at the club. Whelan believes that there is uncertainty surrounding the player’s future right now and Rangers must act quickly so that Hagi can his future sorted out and concentrate on his football. “I do not think Stevie would have brought him in to start with if he did not think he could improve the side,” he told Football Insider. “A very technical player and the sort of player that Gerrard wants at Rangers. “It is important that they get the deal done quickly so h...

Report: West Ham keeping tabs on 27-yr-old, but face competition from Leeds United

Rangers ace Connor Goldson has been linked with a move to West Ham and Leeds this summer. As per Football Insider, both clubs are keeping tabs on the 27-year-old and they could make a move to sign the player in the coming weeks. David Moyes needs to improve his back four this summer and it is no surprise that he is looking at defenders. However, Goldson would be an underwhelming signing for the fans. He is good enough for Rangers but he is yet to show that he can succeed at the top level. West Ham should be looking at better players with their resources. Meanwhile, Leeds need a defensive signing as well if they fail to sign Ben White permanently. Goldson would be a decent addition for the Championship outfit but White is the better player. Bielsa must do everything in his power to sign Whi...

Report: Gerrard wants 29-yr-old ace, Rangers set to make their move this week

Rangers are looking to bring in a keeper this summer and they have identified Vaclav Hladky as a target. As per the Sunday Post, Ibrox boss Steven Gerrard wants the 29-year-old signed from St Mirren and Rangers will make a move for the player this week. Rangers currently have Allan McGregor as their number one keeper but he is 38 years old. The Rangers no.1 will need replacing soon and Hladky would be ideal. He has done well for St Mirren and he seems ready to join a bigger club. In the short term, he could be the backup for McGregor and push him for a first team place. Eventually, he will take over as the starter if he manages to impress. Rangers must improve their squad depth in order to push Celtic for the title next season and signings like Hladky could prove handy. It will be interest...

Chris Sutton’s four-word reaction as Lennon makes sack claim about his Rangers counterpart

Celtic manager Neil Lennon believes that he would have been sacked had he gone two seasons without a trophy like his Rangers counterpart Steven Gerrard. The Hoops boss led his side to nine-in-a-row last week and is increasingly confident of helping them to 10 consecutive Scottish Premiership titles at the end of next season. Gerrard will look to stop Celtic next term, but has so far failed to prove that he has what it takes to having gone two campaigns without a silverware. Given the pressure and standard set at both Glasgow clubs, only two managers in Old Firm history have escaped getting sacked after going two full seasons without winning nothing. The Rangers boss is set for his third season at Ibrox, and he isn’t at the risk of getting sacked ahead of 2020-21. Lennon reckons that wouldn...

‘Getting a little bit embarrassing’: Celtic legend aims dig at ‘lucky’ Rangers

Glasgow Rangers finished second in the 2019-20 SPFL behind Celtic after the season was canceled due to the ongoing global health crisis. The Ibrox club were 13 points behind Celtic at the top when football in Scotland was stopped. Rangers felt aggrieved as Celtic were decided champions despite so many games left to be played. However, according to former Celtic striker and club legend Chris Sutton, the Light Blues could’ve been more than 20 points behind if all 38 games were played. As a result, Celtic have now won the Scottish Premiership nine times in a row. Sutton feels that it was getting embarrassing for the Gers as the gap between the clubs could’ve grown. “The best team won, winning 26 out of 30 games is absolutely phenomenal. The gap was so big,” said Sutton. “When you look at...

‘Better than the Arsenal Invincibles’ – Chris Sutton makes huge Celtic claim as Robbie Savage disagrees

Celtic won the 2019-20 Scottish Premiership title earlier this week after the SPFL decided the final standings of the campaign based on average points-per-game. The Hoops sealed their ninth consecutive league title in style having gone 13 points clear at the top of the table with eight games left, and former striker and BBC pundit Chris Sutton believes the remarkable feat is better than the Arsenal Invincibles season of 2003-04 and Leicester City winning the English Premier League title in 2015-16. The Celtic legend reckons Neil Lennon’s men’s achievement is only up there with the Lisbon Lions’ reign between 1965-66 and 1973-74 as the two biggest feats ever in British football. Robbie Savage doesn’t agree with Sutton, though, claiming winning nine-in-a-row in the Scottish top-flight is equ...
