RANGERS were close to signing the Russian league's top scorer Gamid Agalarov this summer before opting for Antonio Colak instead, his agent has revealed.
The Ibrox side splashed out £1.8 million to sign Croatian striker Colak from PAOK in July and he's gone on to become a huge hit at Rangers scoring 13 goals in 18 appearances in all competitions this term.
However, Russian agent Jamal Akaev has revealed how close Rangers came to signing 22-year-old goalscoring sensation Agalarov, who was called up by Russia last year before they were banned from international football by FIFA and UEFA following their invasion of Ukraine.
