Despite the fact that snaps were taken of Umar Sadiq in training yesterday, nothing can be read into his appearance. The big striker looked delighted as he trained alongside his fellow Rangers team-mates. The Hummel Training Centre certainly looked a happy place this week, with many stars looking happy and determined to make their mark.…
It’s over for Sadiq. A real disappointment because there was hype there. Doesn’t have the same comedy value of a Sebo or Ostenstad because going by Gerrard’s comments it’s down to application.
Which striker do we get in instead come Jan? Solanke? Shankland?
Solanke is definitely worth asking the question of now. I said a few months ago that a deal with him was probably dead given the fact Klopp viewed him as part of his plans. Liverpool’s acceleration this season combined with the fact Solanke hasn’t appeared at all for them could give Rangers the chance to go back in for him.
The likes of Oliver McBurnie and Shankland, for me, won’t be good enough for a title push. Got to imagine Gerrard is looking for someone to come in and push Morelos. Lafferty should be a bit concerned for me.
