Rangers need a game changer if they are to challenge Celtic. Could any of these trio give their careers a lift by moving to Ibrox?
Celtic’s Scott Sinclair scores their fifth goal with a penalty
Scott Sinclair has been a huge part of Celtic’s success this season, proving to be an absolute bargain after his summer move from Aston Villa.
The winger was on the football scrapheap after failing to impress at Aston Villa, and has given his career a huge boost by moving to Scotland.
He told The BBC this week that his success should see more players consider following him to Scotland.
Celtic are already in a strong position, and rivals Rangers should be looking to sign their own Scott Sinclair.
Here are three Premier League wingers whose careers have stalled who Rangers could look to restore…
Wayne Routledge

A former Swansea City teammate of Scott Sinclair, Wayne Routledge remains at the Swans.
Regarded as a sensation at Crystal Palace as a teenager, the winger has not quite hit the heights he was touted to.
The 32-year-old found stability at Swansea after a nomadic early career, but relegation could prompt him to move on. A switch to Scotland could see him flourish like Sinclair.
Ashley Young

This would certainly be an ambitious move, and would depend on Young being open to dropping his wages substantially.
Yet at Manchester United he has become a shadow of his former self, used as a left-back rather than the dynamic winger from his Aston Villa days.
Young needs his next move to allow him to get back to his creative best, and Rangers could offer him the platform to do so.
Bakary Sako
Crystal Palace’s Bakary Sako celebrates their third goal with Wilfried Zaha and team mates
Crystal Palace winger Bakary Sako was prolific in the Championship with Wolves but has found it more tough going in the Premier League.
The 29-year-old is in need of a fresh challenge and has not won over Palace boss Sam Allardyce. A move could be just what he needed.
