Danny Rohl now orders Rangers to make three January signings, priority revealed

Danny Ruhl has now personally ordered the Rangers board to make three new signings in the January transfer window, setting the manager’s top transfer priority.

Rohl has made a strong start in the Scottish Premiership, recording wins in his first two games in charge, meaning he already has more league wins to his name than Russell Martin, who has left the Gers in a terrible position.

Indeed, as a result of Martin’s poor start, the Teddy Bears have a lot of ground to make up if they are to seriously challenge for the league title, with Hearts currently leading the pace at the top, opening up a 14-point lead.

As bad as the former Southampton manager was, the players must also shoulder their share of blame, and the Heart & Hand Podcast recently singled out a number of first-team stars for harsh criticism.

Therefore, the new manager may feel the need to strengthen his squad this winter, and his top priority has now been revealed…

Ruhl orders the Rangers board to make three signings in January

According to a report by TEAMtalk, Rohl has now ordered the Rangers board to make three signings in the January transfer window, with the club’s hierarchy ready to back their manager.

At the top of the list is the new centre-back ‘Captain’, given Nasser Djija, Clinton Nsiala, Emmanuel Fernandes, John Souttar and Derek Cornelius remain doubts.

However, signing a new centre-back is not the only task on the agenda, with the 36-year-old making it clear that he wants to bring in an energetic midfielder and a prolific striker.

It is clear to see why strengthening the backline is so important, with the team looking shocking from a defensive point of view on multiple occasions this season, the most recent example being the display against SK Brann last month.

This result, in particular, will have highlighted the scale of the task on Ruhl’s shoulders, with James Tavernier left disgusted by the performance.

Having also conceded nine goals in the two legs against Club Brugge, the team must undoubtedly sign a new centre-back this winter, but a new striker will not go wrong either.

Tavenier is the only Rangers player to have scored more than two goals in the Scottish Premiership this season, despite being a right-back, highlighting the extent of the problems at both ends of the pitch.
