Rangers are likely to bring an influx of new talent to Ibrox in the summer.
English Championship side Queens Park Rangers are set to release winger Jamie Mackie on a free transfer at the end of his contract this summer – surely he would be the perfect summer signing for Rangers?
QPR confirmed on their official website that the 32-year-old will leave the London-based side in a handful of months after failing to earn a new deal under manager Ian Holloway.
A nine-time Scotland international, Mackie boasts power, strength and aerial prowess that is rare in a player with such good footwork. He also offers versatility, as he can almost play everywhere or anywhere in the final third.
The Gers’ finances are certainly questionable and signing players on free transfers or indeed as a nominal fee will be at the forefront of whoever is in charge come the summer at Ibrox.
Mackie fits the bill, as he will be a free agent by the time the summer transfer window comes around. His hard-working style of player and determined persona would make Rangers foolish if they were to overlook the attacker.
Landing Mackie on a free transfer in the summer would come as a major coup, and the former Reading and Nottingham Forest star could be just the player Rangers need to close the gap between themselves and Celtic.
