Rangers told they ‘have to accelerate’ exit as Ibrox issue becomes clear

Pundit Jonny McFarlane suggested that Rangers may need to accelerate a permanent transfer exit for defender Emmanuel Fernandez due to his age. Speaking on the Rangers Review Friday Morning Briefing, McFarlane noted that Fernandez turning 25 soon could limit his resale value in modern football, meaning the Scottish Premiership side should consider listening to offers before his market appeal diminishes.

However, Ibrox News writer Declan Carr argues that Rangers should retain the Nigerian international for as long as possible to stay competitive against Celtic. Fernandez has made 13 appearances under Derek McInnes this season after previously attracting interest from clubs including Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham, and Borussia Dortmund.
