Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha has already brought in a plethora of new faces to Ibrox.

When writing his regular column for the Daily Record, former Celtic star Chris Sutton discussed two of Rangers’ new signings Bruno Alves and Graham Dorrans, highlighting how they may be regretting moving to Ibrox this summer.

Pedro Caixinha completed the signing of Dorrans from Norwich City on Thursday, for a fee believed to be in the region of £1.3 million, following the capture of Alves five weeks earlier.

The Glasgow giants are still reeling following their woeful performance in the Europa League preliminary qualifiers earlier this week, which culminated in their early exit from the competition.

There are reasons for the Ibrox faithful to be positive, however, none more so than with some of the impressive acquisitions made by Caixinha this summer.

Sutton, though, explained that new signings Dorrans and Alves might just be questioning their decision to join Rangers already, when writing his regular column for the Daily Record:

“Bruno Alves is going to be a huge signing for Rangers. He wasn’t a part of that shambles on Tuesday night and neither was Graham Dorrans who has also come in as a decent signing. You wonder what the two of them now think they’ve let themselves in for. A player of Alves’ pedigree must be questioning whether he’s made the right move given all that’s been going on.”

It is obviously still early days in the Portuguese’s reign at Ibrox, but a lot of improvements will need to be made over the course of the next month before the Scottish Premiership season begins, if they are to have any hope of challenging Aberdeen for second place, let alone Celtic for the title.
