Rangers’ strongest lineup following deadline day: Raskin starts, £91,000-per-week trio is fired
Although Rangers haven’t had the ideal start to the season under Russell Martin, the team has had a very busy summer transfer window. A new era in Glasgow’s blue half has begun as the Ibrox club splashed the cash and negotiated loan agreements to recruit 13 new players for their new boss, while 14 players have left since the end of the last campaign.
Martin needs to swiftly determine his best starting lineup now that the window has closed and the team is committed until at least January. After evaluating the team, GIVEMESPORT believes that, in order to maximise their chances of success, they should line up as follows when everyone is healthy. Rangers’ defence has been in ruins for some time, but this summer has seen significant alterations in the back line. The primary distinction is that, although both senior left-back possibilities, Ridvan Yilmaz and Jefte, were permitted to depart, Martin added three new central defenders.
James Tavernier, the captain, can slip in on the right to offer excellent experience and talent, while Max Aarons, who was brought in on loan from Bournemouth, can play on both sides of defence. Nasser Djiga, a loanee, is perhaps the best choice to accompany John Souttar, who has become a leader in the squad in central defence, ahead of Derek Cornelius and Emmanuel Fernandez, two other recent additions. Dujon Sterling, a £22,000-per-week earner and long-term injury absence, will also compete for a spot in the back line.
There is no denying that Jack Butland is the team’s top goalie and ought to start in goal over Liam Kelly, even though he had a rough season and was benched. The future of midfielder Nicolas Raskin, who was left out of the squad to play Celtic before the international break and appears to have had a falling out with the management, was the main topic of discussion in the closing days of the transfer window.
However, the Belgium international stayed on the team on deadline day and will undoubtedly return to the team, as his status as the team’s top central midfielder is undeniable. Mohamed Diomande, an Ivory Coast international, should be his partner because of his enthusiasm, perseverance, and skill with the ball, which should assist Rangers win games. Summertime signing Rangers should consider becoming more offensive-minded, thus Joe Rothwell and fellow midfielders Lyall Cameron and Conor Barron are probably going to be vying for their spots as well.
Martin felt that improving the offence was crucial, and he wasn’t disappointed. It goes without saying that none of the seven new forwards who joined the team this summer can start. After a stellar season in which he shown his ability to score and create goals, Thelo Aasgaard, who signed from Luton, should assume the role of number 10 in the team. Fans of our wide Rangers will enjoy Djeiti Gassama and Oliver Antman as their alternatives because they want to see speed, talent, and a goal threat. Loanee Mikey Moore is prepared to give them fierce competition. Nedim Bajrami, a £3.4 million acquisition, is unlikely to be included in the team.
Perhaps the most anticipated position in Scotland for a new recruit is Rangers’ number nine. Cyriel Dessers has been replaced by Bojan Miovski as the team’s new starting striker. New players Youssef Chermiti and Danilo, who together make £69,000 a week, will help him, but when everyone is well, the Macedonian is unquestionably the best choice.
