Warburton confirms how many central defenders he needs
Rangers’ manager Mark Warburton has today confirmed he needs
at least one other central defender in order to have an allocation of four for
the step up to Scotland’s top tier next season.
Having been dogged by defensive issues throughout the
season, not to mention a recent collapse of nine goals shipped in only three
matches, defensive security has been made a priority by the Magic Hat, with
Rangers’ boss conceding four are needed for next season.
“We’ve got three (defenders) this year, if we go up and all goes
well, maybe we need to have four for that position.”
This does not account for Dominic Ball’s potential departure
back to parent club Tottenham Hotspur, so if that comes to pass as opposed to
his loan being extended, Warburton strongly hints that he may be after another
two central defenders.
Evidently big strides are being made, but one thing is for
sure – none of them will be made by John Terry…
