SHOCKING RANGERS BOMBSHELL: SECRET TALKS TO SNATCH 25-Y/O DEFENSIVE TITAN IN 2026 – THIS COULD SHATTER THE SPL FOREVER!

Rangers’ 2-0 defeat to Roma in the Europa League on Thursday night highlighted the urgent need for reinforcements at Ibrox.

The performance exposed glaring weaknesses across the team, with John Souttar among those heavily criticised for a disappointing defensive display against the Italian giants.

Up front, the situation appears just as troubling. Strikers Youssef Chermiti and Bojan Miovski both squandered key opportunities, further underlining Rangers’ lack of a reliable goalscorer.

The attacking woes, combined with defensive instability, have left manager Danny Rohl with plenty to ponder ahead of the January transfer window.

One area that could see change is in central defence, with reports suggesting that Genk defender Mujaid Sadick has emerged as a potential replacement for Nasser Djiga, a summer signing who has struggled to impress.

Djiga was again below par against Roma, and notably, Rangers’ best performance under Rohl — a 3-1 win over Kilmarnock in October — was the only game in which the Burkina Faso international did not feature.

Mujaid Sadick profile:

Age: 25

Nationality: Spanish

Club: Genk

Appearances: 135

Height: 6ft 0in

Foot: Right

Experience: Champions League and Europa League

Sadick is known for his physicality, composure in possession, and ability to build play from the back.

Typically operating on the right side of a back four, he would likely need to adapt slightly to fit Rohl’s preferred five-at-the-back setup.

Interestingly, Sadick has already played at Ibrox this season, helping Genk keep a clean sheet in a 1-0 win in September — a performance that may have caught the attention of Rangers scouts.

According to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Rangers have held long-term interest in the Spaniard and have made previous enquiries.

Tavolieri now believes the Scottish side are preparing a formal approach, possibly as early as the January transfer window.

Given Rangers’ current form and defensive issues, a move for Sadick appears increasingly likely — one that could see him arrive in Glasgow to take Djiga’s place in Rohl’s evolving backline.
