4 Rangers transfer near misses as World XI box office quartet finally get their Ibrox day

The clocks went forward as the players rolled back the years at Ibrox and for the Rangers fans it was also a chance to see what might have been.

A trio of players on display sported the black of the visiting World XI but if things had turned out differently during their careers then they might well have pulled on the light blue of Rangers having all been linked with a move to Govan at some point over the last two decades - including Robbie Fowler who was in the away dug-out.

Some of the players on display looked like they could still do a job now for Michael Beale’s men with Jack Wilshere showing flashes of the brilliance that saw him shoot to prominence with Arsenal and England in his early days. But Robin van Persie was the star of the show with a couple of goals in the 4-3 victory for the global greats. Here, Record Sport looks at four players who could have pitched up at Ibrox.
