Rangers transfer window rated as 14 signings assessed of Derek McInnes Ibrox revolution

It’s been a hectic summer transfer window for Rangers with multiple new additions amid a squad overhaul.

A grand total of 14 new players have joined the Derek McInnes Ibrox revolution but after a shaky start to the season on the domestic and European front, few have been able to hit the ground running. Deadline day attacking additions Kevin Kelsy and Badredine Bouanani rounded up what has been a busy few months in Govan. Here, we assess the impact made so far by those who have took to the grass, along with the potential of their newest arrivals.

Lawrence Shankland - 6/10

An underwhelming start to life at Ibrox for the newly-appointed club captain raised alarm bells. But his brace in their most recent league win against Falkirk proved just how important his goals can be. With Kelsy coming in, his minutes won’t be as guaranteed, but nonetheless signing the striker from last season’s title challengers Hearts on a free was a no-brainer.

Ross McCrorie - 4/10

A player the manager admires but hasn’t quite adjusted yet to life at Ibrox. However, a well-worked assist against the Bairns may do his confidence the world of good.

Ben Godfrey - 5/10

Looks solid enough but his injury record is worrying. Substituted off against Dundee United in their opener with a hamstring issue and has only recently returned to the squad.

Ivor Pandur - 7/10

Two clean sheets in nine isn’t great reading for a Rangers goalkeeper - but in context the £6.5m has gotten them out of jail several times already. He’s also notably not afraid to come off his line and take pressure off the defence.

Dan Neil - 4/10

Former Sunderland captain come with a reputation but hasn’t hit the ground running. A player who perhaps needs more time to adapt to the Scottish game

Cammy Devlin - 4/10

Such a key player for Hearts last season in his role of putting out fires, but in actual fact he caused one with his red card against Jablonec.

Vanja Dragojevic - 6/10

Promising. The young leader - who previously captained Partizan Belgrade - has a lot of energy in the midfield and his screamer against St Mirren in the League Cup proves he also knows where the goal is.

Olwethu Makhanya - 6/10

South African defender looks solid enough and isn’t afraid to venture forward. At 22, he’s still got a lot to learn, but he has ingredients to be a top centre half.

Daisuke Yokota - 5/10

Chaotic. The Japanese winger already has a tendency to run himself into the ground but with his dynamic dribbling ability and low centre of gravity even getting 45 minutes out of him could be useful.

James Penrice - 7/10

A goal and an assist on his debut against St Mirren got the fans excited. The Scotsman has kicked on from there and in turn has put dependable full back Tuur Rommens’ position in the starting XI at risk when he returns from injury.

Kosta Nedeljkovic - 4/10

One start and one own goal - but judging him solely on that would be more than harsh. Having featured in the Premier League for Aston Villa, he’s came from a high level.

Kim Min-su - 7/10

Rangers were crying out for a creative attacking-minded midfielder and look to have found it in the Korean. He’s looked lively in his first two games and consider himself unlucky not be off the mark.

Kevin Kelsy - 6/10

At £9.5m, he hasn’t been signed to sit on the bench. While we don’t know too much about him just yet, his prolific record in the MLS and Champions League experience will stand him in good stead.

Badredine Bouanani - 5/10

An Algerian internationalist - who scored against Rangers for Nice in the Europa League two years ago. A late window loan addition always has a touch of panic about it.
