A member of the Ibrox hierarchy has given Philippe Clement the name of the Manchester United veteran.
To try to alleviate their current defence issue, the Rangers board has proposed Jonny Evans as a potential transfer option.
Following the injuries to John Souttar, Neraysho Kasanwirjo, Leon Balogun, James Tavernier, and now Dujon Sterling, Philippe Clement has had to make due. The middle of the backline is now a top priority for January, and the Belgian has very few possibilities. According to Record Sport, one name that was recommended to the manager by a club official is Evans, a defender for Manchester United. However, given that he already has Balogun in the squad as an older head, it is believed that Clement is putting off the notion due to the Northern Ireland legend’s advanced age and prefers a younger player.
Fans of the Gers will recognise another moniker that has been suggested. Although injuries hindered Nikola Katic’s tenure at Govan, former Ibrox favourite and agent Craig Moore, who is well-versed in what is needed, believes the Croat is the kind of player Clement should be pursuing.
“An intriguing one. He told Go Radio, “[Nikola] Katic is a central defender that I believe Rangers need and a player that has crossed our desks in the last days.” “A former player for the Rangers.
“He was obviously very, very solid at the club, but he ended up in Croatia and all that stuff to get fit after suffering an ACL injury. Regardless of how Rangers fans would react to a player like Katic, I believe it is critical that whoever Rangers decide to sign as a central defence start right away.
“A three- or four-month time transition does not exist. Now is the time. Now you must deliver. He would undoubtedly meet that description as a player.
According to rumours from the continent, Ryan Porteous is not pleased at Vicarage Road, raising questions about his future at Watford. The Scotland player has been linked, and Moore can see some advantages even though he wasn’t the most well-liked member of the Light Blues supporters while he was at Hibs.
“He is an expert in the domestic game,” he continued. if he’s not at Watford playing. Look, I definitely want to take those players into consideration. Down south, if they aren’t receiving game time. It’s not an awful choice. Up here, we’re sure he’d be all right.
“He won’t encounter anything that he doesn’t know about. He has witnessed and felt it. I’m sure they’re naturally left-handed and fairly physically strong. I’m very certain the Rangers will consider him as one of a few choices.
