“Rangers in SHOCKING Race to Snag PL’s NEXT SUPERSTAR – He’s a Kent 2.0 Set to EXPLODE at Ibrox!”
Are Rangers on Track for a Champions League Return?
Rangers appear to be making real progress towards a Champions League comeback after an emphatic 3-0 victory over Viktoria Plzeň in the first leg of their third qualifying round.
New signing Djeidi Gassama scored twice and Cyriel Dessers added a penalty to give Russell Martin’s side a commanding advantage heading into the second leg in Plzeň.
Should they advance, a likely play-off clash against Club Brugge awaits, with the Belgian side edging Red Bull Salzburg 1-0 in their first leg.
Despite a busy August juggling European and Scottish Premiership fixtures, Rangers remain active in the transfer market.
They’ve already brought in nine new signings this summer, the latest being Finnish winger Oliver Antman from Go Ahead Eagles for £4 million. Antman impressed on debut against Plzeň, earning praise as a bargain acquisition.
Now, the Gers are eyeing a new goalkeeper. Previous attempts to sign Carl Rushworth and Aaron Ramsdale were unsuccessful, but attention has turned to Arsenal’s third-choice keeper Karl Hein.
According to reports, Rangers have entered the race to sign the 23-year-old Estonian, who is also attracting interest from Sevilla.
Hein, who joined Arsenal in 2018 from Nõmme United, has limited senior experience with the Gunners but boasts 39 caps for Estonia.
He enjoyed a breakout season on loan at Real Valladolid last year, making 32 appearances.
While the club finished last in La Liga, Hein’s performances stood out — ranking high for saves and crosses stopped despite heavy pressure.
Praised for his rapid development and mentality, Hein could follow in the footsteps of Ryan Kent — another successful Premier League loanee who became a key figure at Ibrox.
If Hein can replicate even a fraction of Kent’s impact, his arrival would be a smart move for Rangers as they look to bolster their European credentials.
