18 months ?  Wes out the door then ?

 

Not the position I hoped we would have a signing for....

When you read the "Rangers can today confirm the signing of...", then read the end of the sentence:

One of the strangest signings we’ve ever made. It’ll be a great trivia question in a few years time.

Oh good, we will be able to field a defence of five goalkeepers.  Presume, Wes and/or Jak must be going.

This guy is a number 3 to allow McCrorie to go on loan. He is not a replacement for Wes.

If as is now known to be the case why did we not just bring back Alnwyck instead of adding to the wage bill,the guy never let us down when called on to play in the first team?.

Bringing Alnwick back from loan would add far more to the wage bill. This guy will be on pennies compared to take Alnwick's wage back on just to be number 3.

I can only imagine this is a signing that is viewed as short term back up, with lad having potential to have sell-on value.   Like flipping a house.

Even then I think I would still prefer to see our existing young keepers get exposure as backup if needed.
