Rangers supporters are brimming with confidence thanks to the influx of seven summer signings and a pre-season win over West Ham followed by a narrow defeat to Spurs.
But there’s still concern over two strikers who have yet to feature in pre-season with Alfredo Morelos and Kemar Roofe still sidelined by injury. Roofe has been the subject of loan interest from Sheffield Wednesday and Derby according to reports south of the border.
But Jimmy Mac, Glasgow, said: “ Rangers can’t consider loaning out Roofe after what happened last season. Both he and Morelos were out injured which meant we didn't have a striker for European and league games. Both the title and Europa League final could have had different outcomes if either or both were fit. Roofe scored 17 goals last season even though often out through injuries and those stats alone should be enough to convince Gio Van Bronckhorst that he has a vital role to play for the Gers this season.”
