Who is Rabbi Matondo? Rangers transfer target brings goals and thrills as he thrives after loan woe and mega fee

He’s good but can he do it on a cold, wet Wednesday night in Stoke? No, or any other night for that matter. But the first bit is all that matters to Rangers fans when it comes to Rabbi Matondo - he’s good.

The 21-year-old winger’s time at the Britannia Stadium didn’t go as well as either he or Potters boss Michael O’Neill would have liked. Matondo played just 11 games for Stoke City, scoring one goal in a draw with Nottingham Forest, and it’s fair to say that loan spell away from Schalke didn’t quite go to play for the Welsh international.

But it would be harsh to judge him just on that six-month stint. There is so much more for the Rangers fans to get excited about. Not least the loan spell that came after Stoke City last season at Belgian side Cercle Brugge where he proved a huge success under Austrian Dominik Thalhammer and they wanted to trigger a buy-out clause but couldn’t agree terms with the player.
