Often the trickiest part of negotiating a sane path through any transfer window is resisting the temptation to jump to conclusions.
It wasn’t much more than a week ago after all that some Rangers fans were becoming all angsty over their club’s apparent lack of activity in the early days of the market. And yet here we all are, in the second week of July, watching Giovanni van Bronckhorst suddenly throw the kitchen sink at what is his first proper recruitment drive as Ibrox boss.
The imaginative, cut price captures of Antonio Colak and Tom Lawrence have lit a fire under the Dutchman’s summer and now it seems likely that van Bronckhorst and director of football Ross Wilson are only just getting started. If French playmaker Angelo Fulgini and Welsh wing man Rabbi Matondo also arrive at Auchenhowie over the course of the next few days then the Dutchman - and his head of hiring and firing - will have significantly strengthened the club’s attacking armoury ahead of the new campaign.
