Two Caixinha signings on verge of exits

January’s transfer window has certainly got going in earnest with only three days gone and a host of switches underway.

The three definite returning players of Michael O’Halloran, Joe Dodoo and Andy Halliday are reportedly already back at Ibrox, while reports persist regarding Harry Forrester’s possible return too, and Rangers have confirmed the loan signing of QPR’s midfielder Sean Goss.

Meanwhile two of Pedro Caixinha’s biggest disasters are on their way out, both apparently as loans.

Carlos Pena looks certain to join Azul Cruz and reunite with ex-manager Pedro Caixinha. Frankly the two of them are welcome to each other, while even worse flop Aaron Nemane is off to the Dutch second division and Go Ahead Eagles.

It may mark the window where Rangers tried to shift away as much of the dead wood Caixinha (and frankly Mark Allen) brought in last summer, while making sweeping changes the other way too.

Unfortunately, for Rangers fans, the signing of Goss has not exactly been greeted with huge enthusiasm by the support at large, with questions over how useful a player deemed insufficient for QPR can possibly be for Rangers.

Curiously enough, the same questions were asked about a Cardiff ‘reject’ too and Declan John has ended up one of our best players.

This really is an important window for Allen – if fans judged him by Nemane, it was not exactly flattering – he will be hoping for much better from this window.
