Rangers FC is currently experiencing a revitalizing phase under new manager Danny Rohl. Despite a challenging 3-0 defeat against Brann in the Europa League, the team showcased a remarkable turnaround in league performance. They triumphed over Kilmarnock with a score of 3-1 and secured a narrow 1-0 victory against Hibernian.
Rangers Adjust Plans for Danilo Transfer
Following the departure of Russell Martin, several players previously sidelined are now finding renewed opportunities at Ibrox. Among them is Danilo, a 26-year-old striker who faced heavy criticism earlier in the season. After being excluded from the squad, Danilo has recently regained form under Rohl’s management after scoring two goals in two consecutive matches.
Danilo’s Resurgence
- Scored against Kilmarnock.
- Netted the winning goal against Hibernian.
This resurgence has shifted the club’s perspective on Danilo. Initially considered for a January exit, Rohl now views him as a crucial squad member. A recent podcast revealed that Rohl has no intention of allowing Danilo to leave, emphasizing the player’s value based on his recent performances.
Future Transfer Plans
While Danilo’s standing seems secure, Rangers are adjusting their broader transfer strategy. The club’s January spending capabilities are forecasted to be limited, mainly due to extensive investments made during the previous summer to align with Martin’s vision.
- Rangers plan to focus on three key areas for recruitment:
- A new striker
- A left-back
- A central midfielder
Implications for Team Structure
Interestingly, the club’s approach towards player acquisitions may change depending on the future of Nicolas Raskin. Although interest from major European clubs persists, Rangers have stated that Raskin is not for sale.
Rohl’s management style has provided a fresh slate for players previously out of favor, enabling them to showcase their talents. As the season progresses, Danilo aims to solidify his place in the team and continue contributing to Rangers’ success.
