Steven Gerrard’s unique Rangers cloud nine

With 21-year-old, 6’ 4” pacey striker Umar Sadiq who arrived in Glasgow late on Monday night to become Steven Gerrard’s ninth signing, he may not be the last – Stevie Ger has been immensely busy this transfer window – Ibrox Noise takes you through each signing in turn so far:

22-year-old, 6’ tall versatile midfielder Lassana Coulibaly signed a 1-year-loan-deal on Tuesday 10 July, to develop his game under Gerrard’s guidance and is his eighth new signing. After thinking the call from Rangers’ manager was a prank, the ex-Bastia man was eager to join once he knew it real.

Meanwhile 21-year-old, 6’ 4” Croatian centre half Nikola Katić cost £2m and was outstanding in his debut and scored a-long-ranged goal from 25-yards-out. Nikola and fellow signing Connor Goldson look like a top defensive partnership.

As for the former Brighton man, 25-year-old, 6’ 3” English centre half Goldson signed for £3million from EPL side Brighton, and looks to be a potentially fabulous addition to Stevie G’s Rangers revolution.

Moving onto 20-year-old, 6’ 1” attacking midfielder Ovie Ejaria is now ours for 12 months. The season-loan midfield maestro was born in London to Nigerian parents and can choose between playing for England or Nigeria when he is more experienced.

25-year-old, 5’ 11” right or left back Jon Flanagan can also play in a back three situation and looks to be another top class ex-Liverpool player who will blossom under Stevie G at Ibrox.

28-year-old, 5’ 10” winger Jamie Murphy was permanently signed from Brighton for around £600,000, after becoming a successful loan deal last season.

29-year-old, 5’ 10” midfielder Scott Arfield made a great start to his Rangers career. The Bosman signing scored twice and was awarded the MOTM against Bury on his Ibrox debut last Friday.

36-year-old, 6’ 1” goalkeeper Allan McGregor was brought back to the ‘Gers on a free transfer after a sensational Player of the Year season at Hull City last campaign.

All these players for around £6m in transfer fee outlay which is sensational business, and all down to the hard work of Mark Allen and Steven Gerrard.
