Rangers must learn lessons from this season. And I don’t just mean on the pitch where they’ve come up well short of what’s required.
I’m talking about off the park as well with regards to players’ contracts. Make no mistake, the situation they find themselves in with Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent can’t be repeated. Assets have been allowed to depreciate in value before being able to leave for free. As a club, Rangers can’t afford to let that happen again.
That’s why manager Michael Beale is planning talks with Borna Barisic and John Lundstram about their futures over the summer. Both players have just one year left on their deals. So in that scenario they either have to sign – or be sold. It’s that simple. if they’re not willing to commit the club have a sellable commodity on their hands. So big decisions have to be made. With Ridvan Yilmaz now in the building a lot of Rangers fans might think the Croat’s time is up at Ibrox.
