Michael Beale reveals Rangers transfer near miss as target 'didn't fit' after face to face meeting

Michael Beale revealed he met with one player about signing for Rangers - but snubbed him because he just "didn't fit."

The Ibrox boss has been busy so far with Cyriel Dessers the latest of six summer arrivals and his eighth signing in total after landing Todd Cantwell and Nicolas Raskin in January. He's not finished there either with talks over Jose Cifuentes advancing while a new centre-back could also be in the works amid links with Auston Trusty, Charlie Cresswell and long-term target Jonathan Panzo.

But while Rangers have moved fast, Beale revealed it hasn't all been plain-sailing. He admits he met with one player over joining but made the decision not to take it further as he just wasn't a good fit. Discussing his sigings so far, Beale said: “There was only one player I met who I felt was not a good fit. He was a very good player but not a good fit. You get in a room, and you get a feeling.
