Rangers’ close to fifth major signing of summer
Rangers manager Mark Warburton
has confirmed fully-fledged interest in trialist Andy Halliday, and the
imminent desire to get him signed up permanently.
Speaking after Rangers’
impressive 2-0 win over Ayr United at Murray Park,
in which Halliday got 60 minutes to win over his potential new boss, Warburton
admitted his intention to sign Halliday up as soon as possible:
“He (Halliday) did very well. He has trained
with us from the outset and I was very impressed with him. Hopefully we can
move that forward now.”
Winger Halliday has been at Murray Park
for some considerable time now, giving the manager plenty of time to mull him
over, and tonight’s statement confirms he has succeeded in impressing.
Assuming the offer is to his
liking, and all parties are satisfied, Halliday should become Warburton’s fifth
major first-team summer signing within a short space of time.
Another trialist, Wabara, did not
feature tonight, as he did not v Spurs, and that interest would appear dead in the
water now.
