Journo exposes Rangers transfer problem as ‘big bucks’ message sent over new Ibrox star

Rangers defender Olwethu Makhanya has drawn attention following his performances under manager Derek McInnes, including a 1-0 win over Celtic. The club signed the South African defender from Philadelphia Union for £3 million, leading to discussions regarding his potential future transfer value.

Journalist Andy Newport noted that Rangers historically struggle to secure top-tier transfer bids, referencing a lack of offers for Nicolas Raskin despite his World Cup appearance. Newport argued that Rangers would maximize Makhanya's valuation by retaining him to win trophies first, citing past sales of Calvin Bassey, Nathan Patterson, and Joe Aribo.
