Kris Boyd has predicted several “big” signings to arrive at this window after Rangers threatened to cut the gap last term.
Ange Postecolgou lost his last Old Firm encounter at Ibrox before moving to Tottenham Hotspur. There was little at stake with the title already wrapped up before Rangers cruised to a 3-0 win, but Boyd reckons there were signs before then that Michael Beale was starting to get to grips with the champions.
But now Brendan Rodgers is back and Boyd expects the Hoops to push the boat out and bring in quality to try to leave Rangers in their rearview mirror once again. Jota is on the brink of a £25million move to Al-Ittihad, and a chunk of that colossal fee will likely be ploughed into Rodgers’ transfer budget, already thought to be around £30m. And that’s a daunting prospect for those of a blue persuasion after the progress they looked like making.
