Glasgow Rangers missed out on several transfer targets during the summer, which would have certainly bolstered Philippe Clement’s starting XI at Ibrox.
Albion Rrahmani was sought after during the opening few weeks of the window, but he opted to move to across Europe instead of sign for Rangers. Defender Jose Cordoba was also a player who looked like he was moving to Ibrox but then chose English shores instead.
Clement isn’t the only Rangers manager to miss out on vital transfer targets, or players who have sparkled after being linked with the Light Blues.
Michael Beale was chasing a striker back in 2023 who is now outscoring Erling Haaland…
When Rangers missed out on Viktor Gyokeres
Following a season in which the club failed to win a trophy, Beale was keen on strengthening during the summer transfer window to build a squad capable of challenging Celtic.
One player who was surprisingly linked was Coventry City centre-forward Viktor Gyokeres. The Swede had scored an impressive 21 goals in the Championship as the Sky Blues lost in the playoff final to Luton Town.
Football Insider claimed the Gers had enquired about the striker ahead of potentially making a move that summer, but nothing materialised as Sporting Club eventually signed him from the second tier side.
He has been a huge success in Portugal, outshining the likes of Haaland and Harry Kane due to his goalscoring exploits recently.
