# Rangers: Fans don’t want Oli McBurnie

**Glasgow Rangers fans do not want to sign Oli McBurnie after the club were linked with a move for the Scotland striker.**

McBurnie, who currently plays for recently-relegated Sheffield United, is a well-known Rangers fan but has struggled for goals at Bramall Lane. 22 goals in 42 Championship games for Swansea City during the 2018/19 term ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/oliver-mcburnie/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/298477)) earned him a £20m move to the Blades ([BBC](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/49207182)), but he has managed just [seven](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/oliver-mcburnie/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/298477) strikes in 65 appearances for his current outfit.

With 17 caps for his country, the 24-year-old clearly has something to offer, but he has been unable to produce the goods on a regular basis recently. Still, that hasn’t stopped the Gers targetting him [according to The Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9626837/Rangers-pursue-15m-Sheffield-United-striker-Oli-McBurnie.html), even though Sheffield United are said to be looking for a fee of £15m – that would make him Rangers’ all-time record signing ([The Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ryan-kents-rangers-transfer-fee-19187111)).

The Gers fans, it seems, do not want to sign him this summer. They took to social media platform Twitter to share their thoughts.
