Rangers affirm transfer status in the midst of fresh connections to aircraft

Rangers have been linked with numerous players in the January transfer window, most of whom probably aren’t really targets of Philippe Clement, the latest name mentioned being Tashreeq Matthews.

The Rangers Review has given an update on the rumour and whether or not Tashreeq Matthews is a viable option for a move to Ibrox

Rangers clear up Tareeq Matthews transfer interest

Speculation that Michy Batshuayi was top of Clement’s shopping list has been rubbished already which is the first story that the club has seen fit to clarify.

The second has involved Tashreeq Matthews who, unfortunately, won’t be coming to Rangers.

The 23-year old winger scored 10 goals and created 11 assists in 30 appearances in the season just finished in Sweden, the sort of numbers that we want from our wide players.

The initial reports came from South Africa which makes you wonder how Rangers name got dropped into any conversation.

As we have seen with both Emmanuel Dennis and Steven Alzate though, not every transfer link comes from the club scouting or enquiring about a player’s availability.

At this time of year especially, managers, coaches and sporting directors phones will be burning with agents offering them players keen to move or get back playing.

Rangers are an attractive proposition.

Reasonably good payers compared to most clubs apart from the obvious ones, an incredible stadium and state of the art training ground as well as the prestige that comes with playing for a club competing for trophies and in the latter stages of the Europa League.

Another forward is sure to be near the top of end of Clement’s shopping list but it looks like Matthews isn’t one of those names.Rangers manager Philippe Clement will be hoping that the return of players like as Tom Lawrence would allow him to emulate the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson, who was an adept at getting his teams to peak at the perfect time.
