Rangers are in the Scottish Premiership title race along with Hearts and Celtic

Rangers have an option to buy Wolfsburg loanee Andreas Skov Olsen this summer for £8million. In this latest update regarding his future, journalist Pete O’Rourke has told Football Insider that a potential future deal could be in doubt. He linked up with the Glasgow giants during the January transfer window.

The Gers won 1-0 away at St Mirren over the weekend to boost their title hopes. Left-back Tuur Rommens got their winner against the Buddies in Paisley. They are sat in 3rd place in the Scottish Premiership behind Hearts and Celtic.

Rangers latest regarding Andreas Skov Olsen future

Rangers have a big decision to make about Skov Olsen’s situation. Reporter O’Rourke has said, as per a report by Football Insider: “He came with a lot of fanfare following his January arrival. He was a big signing for Rangers when they got him on loan from Wolfsburg with an option to buy for around £8 million.

“It’s a big fee for Rangers to pay for him if they do want to make that move a permanent deal. He has struggled, there is no getting away from that, with one goal and two assists in eight appearances.

“Obviously if Rangers want to sign him, ideally, they’re to qualify for the Champions League next season. They’ll have more money to spend on players.”

O’Rourke added: “If Skov Olsen helps them achieve that goal of qualifying for the Champions League, then there might be more willingness to try and make that deal permanent. He’s under contract at Wolfsburg until 2029, so they will be demanding that high fee.

“Rangers right now will be hoping that he can get back to form and enjoy a strong end to the season and then come the end of the season then they’ll make a decision on what they want to do with him.”

Rangers struggles for Andreas Skov Olsen

Rangers landed Olsen to boost their attacking department. He gives them more competition and depth at the top end of the pitch. The winger, who is from Denmark, has made 40 caps for his country to date.

Olsen, 26, started his career at FC Nordsjælland and broke into their first-team as a youngster. He then embarked on spells at Bologna and Club Brugge in Italy and Belgium respectively. Wolfsburg then came calling in January last year and he has since made 24 appearances in Germany, finding the net on three occasions.

He has struggled to make an impact with the Gers yet though and hasn’t managed to settle in the way he would have hoped to. The forward has played seven times in the league so far. He has chipped in with one goal and two assists.
