Sure is. But don’t come to Rangers and expect a game in your usual position.
Playing an attacking fullback at wingback is hardly unusual.
He has actually played left wing for the Greek club he was playing for.

No Cantwell.
No Cantwell.
Has he gone?
Yes.
I like him, but I don't think he fits with what Clement wants.

Is Jefte not a left back? Don't recognise some of the names you mention though...who is Poveda for example?
Jefte is an attacking left back.
Poveda is a winger just released by Leeds. I quite like him.
We're not linked with him - neither with Riedewald - but I quite like them as players, and they've been released.

Here's my first team:
Cortes - Danilo - Poveda
Jefte - Diomande - Alzate - Sterling
Riedewald - McKenna - H. Souttar
Butland
Second string:
Kabadayi - Dessers - McCausland
Yilmaz - Raskin - Barron - Devine
Galdames - Balogun - J. Souttar
Kelly
Championees!

From a Schalke-Fan re Yusuf Kabadayi ...
Everything from wild to extremely strong. Certainly a player with pace, but was sometimes too playful for me and often not a factor in games. Improved towards the end of the season. The purchase option of 1 million was not exercised, and the player was dismissed, so definitely no return to S04.
This matches the stats: quick, likes to take on his man, but doesn't contribute much in the buildup with very few passes.
I quite like the profile. I think that we could teach/coach the buildup stuff.

We're being linked with Steven Alzate again.

Specifically 4 goals, no assists and 'too expensive for the 3rd biggest club in Germany'.
Those two numbers don't really tell you much.
I believe they are in a really bad state financially?

Didn't Schalke have another shocking season, fighting relegation into the 3rd tier for much of the year? If he's as good as Tillman I'll be very happy, but his numbers aren't wonderful despite playing for a big club at a low level.
Which numbers specifically caught your eye?

[Al-Riyadiya] Steven Gerrard has reportedly stepped up his plans to take James Tavernier and Connor Goldson to Saudi Arabia. Al-Ettifaq are now said to be preparing their offer for the duo.

It was like us in the Scottish Cup final: there for the taking, but couldn't get over the line.

Welcome aboard the sweeper keeper hype train.
can’t remember the exact thread but said the same a couple of weeks back.
I've been saying it for years.

I know Butland is an excellent shot-stopper and he has been terrific, but his style doesn't quite suit what we need, which is a sweeper-keeper.
I wouldn't be unhappy if he was sold.

RANGERS can confirm Chief Executive Officer, James Bisgrove, will leave the club having accepted a new football role in the Middle East.

Hear me out: Kieran Tierney?
Perfect for the vacated treatment table role.

I dont buy it, by him playing slightly further forward means he would have taken some guilt edged changes he passed up while he was here, like the one V them at Ibrox?
I think there is more to it than that, the mentality to play for Rangers isn't there nor is the physical robustness.
He looked lost in the first game v Killie, he got a couple of dunts from the opponents then disappeared from the game.
It may well be that he doesn't have the mental fortitude to play for Rangers.
The facts are that he didn't have many good goalscoring chances with us - even that open goal (I can't remember who it was against?) was a difficult chance because the ball was too far in front of him before he could get to it. His chances were mostly long range.
His xG was only 4 (he scored 2) in the league.
Todd Cantwell, in a similar position has an xG of 5 from double the games.
Dessers, played as the #9, has a full-season xG of 19 (he scored 16).
Now we've seen him do well for Utrecht as a #9: 10 goals from an xG of 9.
I'm not saying he's the messiah, like Josh Windass, merely that he'd have a better return if he was played as a striker, rather than a #10 or on the wing.
