Rangers fans here in the Tavern are feeling relieved after seeing their side win at the weekend, as Graeme Murty can breathe a huge sigh of relief.
Indeed, the Bluenoses returned to winning ways at the weekend as they inflicted a 2-1 defeat on Hearts at Ibrox, with many of our local residents hoping that this is a sign of things to come. Although, they do still face stiff competition for a European spot as Aberdeen and Hibernian are still both in with a chance.
Interestingly, Rangers are believed to be closing in on a summer transfer window move for Scott Arfield, but this doesn’t seem to be a sensible move for the Gers with there being plenty of better players out there. So, the Bluenoses should look to a couple of other potential Premier League bargains instead, having seen how successful the January transfer window has proven to be.
Nevertheless, Rangers should look to target these TWO Premier League bargains instead of Scott Arfield…
Kyle Bartley
There’s no doubt that Kyle Bartley is a quality defender that can provide a wealth of experience, but he’s become heavily out of favour at Swansea City in the current campaign.
Indeed, Rangers have experienced a lot of defensive issues in the current campaign and the Englishman may just be the cure, as a solid central defender that could come on leaps and bounds in the Scottish Premiership.
Therefore, the Bluenoses should look to make a move for the 26-year-old in the summer transfer window, as he could be available for a small sum having featured in only 11 games this season.
Marc Pugh
Marc Pugh is an experienced customer that never fails to deliver consistently good performances in the Premier League, but he’s struggled to break into Bournemouth’s starting lineup this season as a summer transfer window exit looks likely.
Indeed, the Englishman has spent most of his time on the substitutes’ bench as other players are often given the nod ahead of him, but there’s no doubt that he can still take on his man and find the back of the net.
Therefore, Rangers should look to bring the 31-year-old to Ibrox in the summer transfer window, as his contract is set to expire in June, so he could be available on a free transfer.
