Kenny Dalglish reckons Kemar Roofe could be like a new signing for Michael Beale as he continues his hunt for more Rangers firepower.
And the Scotland legend admitted the Light Blues must be ready to pounce on any “disruption” at his old club Celtic with the managerial change at Parkhead. Beale has signed Sam Lammers but is looking to bolster his attacking options as they close in on Cyriel Dessers and with Feyenoord star Danilo also still a target.
Dalglish, though, says Roofe could have a big part to play if he can finally overcome the injury issues that have plagued his Ibrox career. The 72-year-old, writing in his Sunday Post column, said: “The first Old Firm game of the season is at Ibrox on September 3 and it’s vital for Rangers to win that if they are to put a proper marker down. Rangers know that if they hand Celtic anything, the champions are unlikely not to take advantage.
