Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers let Martyn Waghorn and Joe Garner go last summer, but they have scored a combined 22 goals this season.
Mick McCarthy has claimed that former Glasgow Rangers pair Martyn Waghorn and Joe Garner are in contention to win the Ipswich Town Player of the Season award, which could highlight Pedro Caixinha’s error in letting the pair go.
Waghorn and Garner had hardly set the world alight at Rangers, but their form in the Championship suggests that Caixinha simply was not getting the best out of them at Ibrox.
Waghorn and Garner have scored a combined total of 22 goals since leaving Rangers.
And McCarthy said to Football on Five about the pair: He [Ipswich goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski] has got more competition for [Player of the Season] this year, with Garner and Waghorn scoring the goals.”
Rangers may argue that Alfredo Morelos has done an excellent job leading the line, without Garner and Waghorn in support.
But the Light Blues’ forward options would surely have been stronger if they had kept Garner and Waghorn.
The pair have significantly outscored Jason Cummings in English football, and Cummings has done a fine job since making a switch to Glasgow in January.
And Rangers must look at the pair’s form and wonder what might have been, if they had a manager in charge who could have got the best out of them at Ibrox.
