Glasgow rangers Transfer business has been hit or miss over the past few years. Philippe ClementMichael Beale and Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

All three managers have signed their fair share of crap. Notable names include Ben Davies, Sam Lammers, James Sands and Kieran Dowell, who splashed out huge sums on transfer fees or wages to lure them to Ibrox.

Of course, there have been the odd success story since the last time the Light Blues Premier League Young players such as Mohamed Diomande, Hamza Igamane and Clinton Nsiala could all develop into stars for the Ibrox side in 2021 Bring huge profits.

Despite the incarnate nature of the club’s presence in the transfer market since 2021, things aren’t that bad compared to the period when Pedro Caixinha was at the helm…

Pedro Kesnia signed at Rangers

The Portuguese manager will go down as one of the worst managers in the club’s history, with a particularly poor record in the transfer market.

Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Jack will continue to be important players for the club under Steven Gerrard, but apart from those two, Kesinha has wasted a lot of cash.

In fact, Carlos Pena and Eduardo Herrera spent £2.2 million and £1.5 million This was a staggering sum at the time, especially considering that no progress was made in Europe and the club only stayed in the top flight for one year.

More money was spent on Norwich City midfielder Graham Dorrance, who also cost the Light Blues Approximately £1.5 millionBut the transfer was viewed by Caixin as a wise move.

The move quickly turned into a disaster.

Despite the hype his arrival sparked, it was further enhanced when he scored twice It didn’t take long for the Scot to pick up the injury in the league opener against Motherwell.

After five goals and two assists in his first ten domestic games, the midfielder suffered an ankle injury that ruled him out for the next six months and hampered his promising start to life at Rangers.

He made just three appearances in the 2018/19 season, with a knee injury causing him to spend most of the time on the treatment table. Despite Dorrance’s considerable expense, the move was apparently unsuccessful; Leave by mutual consent 2019.

Clement is keen to bolster his squad by bringing a number of players to Ibrox this month. Much depends on his available budget, which means something has to be done for those who might get nothing.

One player linked with a move to Rangers is Allan Campbell, who is on loan at Charlton Athletic in League One.

While the club needs some reinforcements, the addition of Campbell could lead to the Gers going the way of Dorrans, especially as he doesn’t appear to have the attributes to make a huge impact in the starting line-up.

Rangers linked with move for EFL midfielder

According to Football Insider earlier this week, The light blue team is one of the teams A move for Campbell, who has signed for Luton Town, is being considered.

Other Premier League clubs Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen have also shown interest in the midfielder, perhaps proving he should not be on the Gers’ radar.

His contract expires in the summer, meaning Clement will be able to agree a pre-contract move for the Scotsman or pay to sign him immediately this month, but his recent performances suggest a move should not be his priority. list.

Alan Campbell’s statistics during his time in England

The 26-year-old has left his mark at Motherwell, Played 160 times He played for the Steelers before moving to Luton Town in 2021.

He was highly praised during his tenure Scotland coach Graham Alexander”, he said: “I don’t want to sound like his father, but I love him very much and he is everything a professional football player should be.

“His dedication to the game, to the team, his commitment and effort, he should be a shining example to every professional player who sees him work, really.”

Campbell amid Luton’s promotion campaign for 2022/23 season Ranking bottom 85% Compared to his peers in the tournament, he ranks at the bottom of 62% in progressive passing rate (2.57), field goal percentage (0.86), and bottom 71% in pass success rate (72.7%). These statistics are worrying, especially if Clement shows interest in the midfielder.

It’s clear he doesn’t offer many chances going forward and his pass completion rate is low, meaning he won’t be ahead of the likes of Connor Barron, Nico Raskin or Mohamed Diomande people, Their average score is 87% or more in the country by this term.

Since August 2023, Campbell has only Played 28 times During the loan period, he missed 15 games due to injury.

Overall, bringing in the Scot should not be a priority for Clement, especially if he wants to spend his limited budget on quality, improving the starting XI or youngsters who can develop into quality players.

Campbell is neither and if the Gers do attack, it could be a repeat of the deal that brought Dorrance north of the border all those years ago.
