Rangers have lured Jordan Jones and Glen Kamara to Ibrox.
Rangers have made headlines this weekend by striking deals for a whopping four new signings to bolster Steven Gerrard’s squad now and in the future.
The Gers firstly snapped up Kilmarnock winger Jordan Jones and Dundee midfielder Glen Kamara on pre-contract agreements, meaning they will arrive for free in the summer.
Veterans Jermain Defoe and Steven Davis then signed on loan from Southampton and Bourne respectively, joining to help Gerrard’s push for the Scottish Premiership title.
One of the most intriguing moves though is that of Jones, who has often shown his quality with Kilmarnock but maybe doesn’t have the sensational production numbers to back it up.
The Northern Ireland international is clearly a quality player though, and his imminent arrival will raise question marks about the future of two Rangers wingers.
The first is Eros Grezda, just months after he joined from Osijek. The Albanian was substituted at half time in the recent win over St Johnstone, and then completely left out of the squads to face Hibernian and Celtic.
Grezda may need to fear for his future already with Jones signed, as he is already behind Glenn Middleton in the pecking order, with Jones and the injured Jamie Murphy to come in the summer.
Jones’ arrival will also leave fans worrying about Liverpool loanee Ryan Kent, as he is only at Ibrox until the summer, and there has been little talk of a permanent move.
Kent dazzled against Celtic, but by signing another left-sided winger who is predominantly right-footed, it’s easy to understand why some think Jones is being signed because Kent won’t stay.
Either way, it’s hard to see Rangers carrying Jones, Grezda, Kent, Middleton, Murphy and Daniel Candeias next season, so one or possibly two could be making way, with Kent and Grezda the main candidates for different reasons.
