Opinion: Rangers Should Terminate Loan Deal Following Grant Hanley Update
Rangers Could Terminate Loan Deal Following Grant Hanley's January Transfer
Rangers have been dealing with a defensive shortage in recent weeks, with John Souttar and Leon Balogun both struggling with injuries.
As a result, summer signing Clinton Nsiala has started three matches in January, but the winter transfer window could provide an opportunity to address the issue.
While the Light Blues may not necessarily sign a new defender, they could explore internal options, especially following developments at Birmingham City.
Rangers Could Recall Ben Davies After Grant Hanley Transfer
On 17 January, Birmingham City confirmed the signing of Scotland international Grant Hanley on a permanent deal from Norwich City.
With Hanley stepping down to League One, he is likely guaranteed regular first-team football, which may change the dynamics for other players at the club.
This development could open the door for Rangers to recall Ben Davies from his loan spell at St Andrew’s.
The 29-year-old moved to Birmingham six months ago but has made just 12 league starts.
A return to Ibrox could offer Davies a greater chance of regular playing time while also providing Rangers with much-needed cover in defense.
The move could benefit all parties involved. Rangers would address their defensive depth issues, Birmingham would free up space in their squad, and Davies could find a fresh opportunity to reignite his career in the Scottish Premiership, even after a challenging start during his initial stint with the Gers.
