4 Rangers transfer contenders to be new striker RANKED as Benie Traore proves different to Sima, Dessers and Danilo

If one thing is for certain then it's Rangers are in the market for a new No.9.

Yes, the arrival of Sam Lammers has been welcomed, however, the Dutchman's game is forged as much on lay-offs and clever touches, as it is about finding the back of the net, as a modest goal contribution of six in four seasons attests to. Rangers boss Michael Beale has putting together his revamped squad with Jack Butland, Dujon Sterling and Kieran Dowell joining Lammers on board.

More will come, of course, Record Sport revealed back in March then Coventry City defender Jonathan Panzo was a target. But a proper finisher is being sought by the Englishman. Alfredo Morelos is gone but Rangers' all-time leading European goalscorer never netted 20 league goals in any of his six seasons in Glasgow. Beale's style, one which he had influence over as Steven Gerrard's key lieutenant, asks plenty from a No.9 and finding the net is one of them but not the only duty.
