“David Edgar Drops BOMBSHELL Verdict on Rangers’ SHOCKING Double Signing of Right-Back and Left-Back This Summer – You Won’t Believe His Take!”
Rangers Poised for Summer Spending Spree as 49ers' Takeover Nears Completion
While the appointment of a new permanent manager is yet to be confirmed, this summer is shaping up to be one of significant change for Rangers.
Sporting director Kevin Thelwell has already joined the club, and additional arrivals are anticipated in the coming weeks.
One of the most pressing concerns lies in the full-back positions.
David Edgar has weighed in on the matter, asserting that signing full-backs should be the top priority for the club this summer.
According to Edgar, Rangers must strengthen both the right and left sides of their defence, as shortcomings in these areas have been exposed throughout the season.
James Tavernier has featured heavily at right-back, but his defensive weaknesses have repeatedly been targeted.
Meanwhile, Ridvan Yilmaz has occasionally filled in but struggled due to being played out of position and ongoing injury problems.
His inconsistent availability has raised doubts about his reliability.
Edgar expressed his thoughts on X, stating, “To be honest, I think we need two new full-backs at right- and left-back this summer.”
The situation becomes even more urgent when considering the broader context of the squad.
Neraysho Kasanwirjo, brought in on loan for his versatility, missed the majority of the 2024–25 campaign with a severe knee injury and is unlikely to be retained.
Jefte’s inconsistent performances have also failed to establish him as a dependable option on the left.
On the right, Dujon Sterling has been sidelined with a long-term injury, further depleting the club’s options.
Tavernier, though influential in attack, has shown defensive frailties that have contributed to the team’s vulnerability, particularly against counter-attacks.
With Tavernier aging and Sterling’s return uncertain, Rangers lack both depth and dependable quality in key defensive areas.
Reinforcements are essential if the team is to compete effectively in both the Scottish Premiership and European competitions.
Bringing in new full-backs would not only provide much-needed stability and competition but also allow the incoming manager the flexibility to implement a more resilient tactical structure—vital for challenging for trophies and avoiding another injury-hit season.
