Rangers transfer scouting: Berke Ozer assessed as long-term goalkeeper answer

Should Giovanni van Bronckhorst consider a move for Berke Ozer?

ALLAN McGregor’s Rangers future is now settled after the 40-year-old signed a new one year contract ahead of the new season. Robby McCrorie meanwhile is reportedly keen to leave and will be out of contract next summer. So, of the three goalkeepers who turned out for Rangers in the 21/22 season, just one has a sealed long-term future, that being Jon McLaughlin, who recently extended his stay at Rangers for two years. This means that it's almost certain that at some point in the near future, the club will be dipping into the market for a new keeper.

Vladan Kovacevic was linked a few weeks back. He would be a fantastic signing. I touted him as a McGregor replacement for the Rangers Review as early as December 2021. The most recent murmurs concern 22-year-old Turkish goalkeeper Berke Ozer, who has just become a free agent after failing to extend terms at Fenerbahce. Anderlecht has also been touted as a potential destination, so let’s examine whether these rumours are something to be excited about or a nugget of news that is best ignored.
