# Glasgow Rangers: Bogdan Mykhaylichenko reveals Rangers snub

**New Anderlecht signing Bogdan Mykhaylichenko has claimed that he turned down an offer from Glasgow Rangers before leaving Zorya Luhansk to move to Belgium.**

Mykhaylichenko [joined the Belgian outfit for €500,000](https://112.international/sport/football-ukraines-mykhailychenko-signs-with-rsc-anderlecht-53473.html) (£457,000) earlier during this transfer window, and he has already made a positive start to the new campaign after assisting [one](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bogdan-mykhaylichenko/profil/spieler/294730) goal in his first six league matches. He is also a Ukraine international, having appeared twice for his country.

The left-back was speaking about his decision to move to play under Vincent Kompany, and in doing so he spoke about the other offers he received. He [explained](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/bogdan-mykhaylichenko-claims-rangers-transfer-22759941):

*“There was quite a lot of interest in me this summer.*

*“Rangers made clear they were interested in me so that was an option and so were Werder Bremen, but Anderlecht were the most persistent.”*

This does to seem to be a bizarre move from Steven Gerrard and co. In all fairness, the interest may have been before they completed the signing of Calvin Bassey, but he was [signed at the start of June](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/52951554#:~:text=Defender%20Calvin%20Bassey%20has%20signed,back%20and%20in%20central%20defence.) – that would hardly have given the Gers enough time to make an inquiry about the [£1.35m-valued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bogdan-mykhaylichenko/marktwertverlauf/spieler/294730) 23-year-old – as per Transfermarkt.

He also did not complete his switch to Anderlecht until the end of July – almost two whole months after the Bassey deal. With Borna Barisic and the former Leicester City youngster available on the left side of the defence, it seems a move for Mykhaylichenko would have made very little sense.
