Rangers have all but concluded this seasons stadia and team activity, maybe one or two last minute additions, but the core of the team is in place and an almighty 18k stadium upgrade has been completed, bringing the Ibrox capacity up to a whopping 150k, only 4 teams in Elite have stadiums at this capacity and Rangers are proud to be one !
It has taken a good few seasons to get the stadium up to max and I have sacrificed bringing in big name players for short term success, now we can concentrate on our team and getting it right on the park, last season was a nightmare and probably the most humiliating league campaign ever, a wee cup run papered over the cracks.
3 experienced players have been brought in for a bit of stability, 28 rated Diego has signed a two year contract and will be a key player in the heart of the Rangers midfield, also veteran Italian defender Cannavaro who is 27 rated has signed a contact that will see him finish his career at Ibrox, 26 rated midfielder Yaya Toure also made the move to Ibrox and will have a big say on any success Rangers have over the coming 4 or 5 seasons.
Rangers also secured a major signing in capturing the hugely coveted Hemoth , I have chased this player for 2 or 3 seasons now and must admit it's a sensational signing for the club, the deal costing us a record £50m, passing the former record of £40m spent on Frank De Boer, this move allowed Van De Vaart the chance to move to Osasuna for first team football.
Rangers still have a very youthful squad and have added some great experience and also managed to bring in one of the best young midfielders in the game, also we have four or 5 exciting youngsters on our books, the time for talking on the pitch is now
Here's to a great season lads.
