Aaron Ramsey to Rangers: Statement signing, changing underwhelmed fans, a move with risks attached though

The emergence of Aaron Ramsey as a potential deadline day capture for Rangers has undertstandably prompted huge excitement among supporters of the Ibrox club.

If many of them were previously feeling a little underwhelmed by the business carried out by the Scottish champions during the January transfer window, the prospect of a player of Ramsey’s unquestionably high calibre arriving to bolster their title defence for the remaining four months of the season dramatically alters that mood.

It is a hugely ambitious move by Rangers, a statement of intent as they look to hold off Celtic’s challenge and win a Premiership crown which could be worth in excess of £30 million this season with the likelihood of a guaranteed place in the group stage of the Champions League.

But it’s also one which is not without a degree of uncertainty, given Ramsey’s struggles at Juventus this season. He has not started a game for the Serie A giants since the opening day of the campaign when he played the first hour of their 2-2 draw at Udinese.
