Rangers manager Danny Rohl revealed he has a clear picture of what is missing from his squad after a goalless home draw with Falkirk, as we approach the opening of the January transfer window.
Rohl sends a message to his squad after dropping points against Falkirk
Rohl saw his impressive start to life at Ibrox come to an end in his fifth Premiership game in charge on Sunday. Scott Bain made an excellent one-handed stop from Djeidi Gassama on a Rangers counter-attack midway through the second half, but the Falkirk goalkeeper was largely untested outside of that.
The Bairns had some chances of their own and were more than worth their second point of the season against the Light Blues.
Rohl agreed with a comment in his post-match media conference that his squad needed help in January.
“The group we have at the moment, it’s my job and my responsibility to bring the best out of them,” he said.
“You see too many ups and downs. With some players you feel they are making the step, and in the next game they take a step back. We are not consistently on the highest point again and again.
“We have too much of a roller coaster. The job when I arrived was about finding a way to win games. This is the first draw. We are disappointed with this performance but for me it’s now week six or seven.”
In a clear warning to his current crop of players, the 36-year-old held back nothing as his side fell seven points behind Celtic, suggesting he will upgrade on certain members of his squad in the transfer window.
“I have a clear picture of what we are missing at the moment.”
Who Rangers could sign in January
The first step to Rangers’ business ahead of the new year will of course be finding replacements for Patrick Stewart and Kevin Thelwellwith a recent report suggesting the Gers could turn to Chief Financial Officer James Taylor in the CEO role.
In terms of targets on the pitch, it is clear more quality is needed in midfield and in attacking areas, and those at Ibrox have reportedly already entered discussions for winger Galymzhan Kenzhebek.
The 22 year-old is reportedly also wanted by Dundee United, Aberdeen and a whole host of clubs on the continent, being praised for his direct style of play and instincts in front of goal.
David Watson is the other name on everyone’s lips, with the 20-year-old midfielder out of contract at Kilmarnock next summer and sure to attract interest from a whole host of sides in January.
