Rangers manager Philippe Clement and Director of Football Recruitment Nils Koppen have deemed the signing of Vaclav Cerny as ‘not enough’ and want more wingers for Clement’s preferred 4-2-3-1 formation, with Oscar Cortes, Rabbi Matondo, Ross McCausland and Scott Wright making up the rest.

It’s not deemed as anywhere near good enough, and has only two wingers the club properly rates as Rangers level, in Cerny and Cortes. If Cerny bombs, and we hope he doesn’t then it’s only one.

Enter Porto’s Gonçalo Borges, a 23-year-old Portugal U21 international winger worth around £5M under contract for another three seasons, who it’s been reported Rangers have taken major interest in, albeit French cracks Strasbourg may have stolen a march on negotiations with.

It’s been claimed Rangers have had a bid rejected, but there’s interest there, even if, again, the club still doesn’t seem interested in defenders, but we’ll have an update on the defence later today.

As for Borges, he’s a right winger, and Rangers have five of them on our books in Cerny, Cortes (he’s adaptable) McAusland, Wright and Matondo – we don’t actually have any proper LW, so we’re not sure why we seek a sixth RW.

But then, there’s interchangability we suppose so the footed nature matters… a bit less?

But it seems Rangers seek the attacker’s signature, even if he would be the 6th winger on that side – is he good enough?

We’ll report on that in due course but he already has 7 Champions League appearances and has won pretty much everything with Porto, even winning the Champions League youth league version with the kids.

So he has a clear pedigree.

Unlike the absolute rot that was Fabio Silva effectvely from the same club though, Borges has plenty of senior appearances with Portugal’s biggest side, amassing 50 already.

He is a player.

Whether he’s a player Rangers need or want, or will get, time will tell.
