Rangers in “three-way battle” for English midfielder; reports

Rangers have competition from Cardiff and Sunday’s victims Sheffield Wednesday in Pedro Caixinha’s reported pursuit of the amusingly-named Wigan midfielder Max Power.

The creative midfield spark, said to be similar to Graham Dorrans with a hint of Jason Holt in style, is alleged to be seeking a departure from the ex English Championship side, now relegated to the ignominy of League One, and claims are being made that Rangers seek a further midfielder to complete their set.

Quite how credible this claim is given Rangers are blessed with the aforementioned Dorrans and Holt, Mexican Carlos Pena, the resurgent Josh Windass and Niko Kranjcar remains to be seen, but the speculated price for the 24 year old, who, incidentally has never represented his country at any level, is sub-£500k.

However given Rangers’ recent past with Wigan players, such as James Tavernier, Rob Kiernan and Martyn Waghorn, this is a move some fans are cautious about to say the least and a number wonder why their side has been linked with yet another midfielder.

In truth the lad’s general career is nothing to write home about, but if Pedro wants to make a move for him, you will hear about it here.
