“Rangers STUNNED: Forgotten Player’s Jaw-Dropping 24-Hour Feat Forces INSTANT Mega-Deal!”
Neraysho Kasanwirjo Makes Surprise Return for Rangers After Lengthy Injury Layoff
Dutch defender Kasanwirjo showed early promise after joining Rangers on a season-long loan from Feyenoord last summer.
However, his momentum was abruptly halted just two months into his stay in Glasgow due to a serious knee injury in November.
The setback sidelined him for a significant period, much to the frustration of both the player and the club.
His lengthy absence even prompted Rangers to secure a loan move for Rafael Fernandes from Lille to fill the void, seemingly putting an end to Kasanwirjo’s season and potentially his time at Ibrox.
In a surprising twist, the 23-year-old has made an unexpected return to the pitch.
Having become somewhat of a forgotten figure in Govan, Kasanwirjo was a surprise inclusion in the starting XI for Rangers B in the Glasgow Cup final against Celtic at Firhill on Tuesday, 29 April.
Manager Stevie Smith opted to use the Dutchman’s experience in the high-stakes clash with their Old Firm rivals.
Barry Ferguson was also in attendance, witnessing Kasanwirjo’s first competitive appearance in nearly six months.
The right-back didn’t disappoint. He marked his return by opening the scoring in the 33rd minute, reacting quickly to a loose ball in the box before calmly slotting it into the bottom-left corner with a composed right-footed finish.
His goal was Rangers’ only one in regulation time, as the match finished 1-1 and went to penalties.
Rangers B eventually triumphed in the shootout, securing the cup, and Kasanwirjo’s performance has now reignited interest in his future at the club.
His timely return may give him a chance to feature under Ferguson in the remaining fixtures of the season.
Moreover, his form could play a part in discussions about a permanent move to Ibrox.
With Rangers currently undergoing a potential takeover led by a US consortium headed by Andrew Cavenagh, there are decisions to be made.
Despite the changes at the boardroom level, the future of players like Kasanwirjo remains a pressing matter.
Rangers hold an option to buy the Feyenoord loanee for just over £1.5 million.
Given his talent and now a successful return to action, activating that clause would come as no surprise.
