Rangers appear to have firmly chosen next season’s main striker, and it isn’t Cyriel Dessers, Lawrence Shankland or Bojan Miovski, but in fact is an all eggs in one basket of Rapid Bucharest’s Albion Rrahmani who the club made a €6M bid for at the recent summit in Mexico Ibrox Noise reported about.

As we discussed, Director of Football Recruitment Nils Koppen was there to touch base with agents, club representatives and any players who might have shown up, and a big project was Neil Lennon’s Rapid Buchartest, and the Kosovo hitman Rrahmani.

It is understood Koppen did indeed meet his agents, and has outbid rival suitors Sparta Prague by 100%, going double on their reported €3M bid for the international striker.

Rapid finished 6th last season, in a very, very weak league, but Rrahmani’s form was sizzling in fairness, 24 goals and assists in 30.

With Scotland crumbling badly in the co-efficient (we’ll have more on that later) leagues like Romania are not as badly worse than ours as they were, but the division is still 29th in Europe and a complete backwater by comparison.

But Rrahmani has performed brilliantly well even at the admittedly very low standard and if Rangers can get him for the £5M we’ve bid it might not be the worst.

But Romania is a very poor standard, sorry – it’s about League 2 level in England if it’s lucky, and there’s a reason players try to escape leagues like that to get to a higher level.

So hopefully if this bid is accepted and we sign the Kosovo striker, he works out – his international record is poor – 6 caps, no goals or assists.

Do we need better than this?

Well he’s only 23, hopefully there’s much more to come from him at a better level, and that he can cope with the pressures of Rangers.

But it’s a risky signing, just like so many that we make are.
