Shock Rangers transfer exit claim made over summer signing amid major fear over 'bizarre' move
A former Rangers star has made the bold transfer claims.
Former midfielder Derek Ferguson has claimed Robin Propper could be in line for a shock exit from Rangers.
The defender only signed in the summer from FC Twente as Philippe Clement moved on from Connor Goldson and Ben Davies in central defence. Performances have been mixed, playing 14 times overall so far, which has prompted scrutiny over his signing.
Ex-Rangers player Derek Ferguson reckons conversations will be had between boss Clement and the defender over what comes next. Ferguson doesn’t quite see the logic behind signing a man who has come with the same criticisms as those before him.
Speaking to Ibrox News, he said: “He just doesn’t fit the bill. So it’s bizarre that [Clement] brought him in the first place. He was brought to play, I think he was brought in to be like a captain in there, a real leader.
“And now he finds himself on the bench, and he’s at an age where he needs to play so I don’t think he’ll want to warm the bench. There’ll be conversations between him and the manager behind the scenes. From my point of view at the moment it looks like one the manager’s got wrong big time.
“His lack of pace as well. You don’t want to slaughter him but he looks so slow and he plods about so if he goes up against most of the teams in our league, in the top six, he’ll get ripped apart.
“He looks as if he’s somebody that’s come back from a long lay off, from an injury. To me he looks timid. And they let Davies go, he’s away to Birmingham, and that was the criticism labelled at Davies, that he lacked the physicality, the power, but it’s like bringing in like for like.
“We let Goldson go because we think his legs have gone, so again it’s quite bizarre that we’ve brought Propper into the club. Clearly it doesn’t suit him, the style of play in Scotland.”
