Rangers £50m triple transfer is pie in the sky and here is brutal reality for fans

If we’re going by social media the numbers just keep going up and up.

By last night, the latest sale figure for Nicolas Raskin appeared to be sitting at £25 million.

For Hamza Igamane, you’re looking at around £15 million.

Want to buy Mohamed Diomande? Let’s call it £10 million.

This year, they weren’t even at the races as they allowed Celtic to gallop clear, clinch 4-in-a-row and a Double.

They let down their ex-gaffer, Philippe Clement, and when Barry Ferguson took interim charge - they turned up for Old Firm games or Europe but were posted missing against the rest.

So they’re not world beaters, by any stretch.

If you take the trio of Raskin, Diomande and Igamane - all three are assets to Rangers. That’s indisputable.

But as it stands, there have been no bids tabled for any of them.

Raskin is the pick of the bunch. And of course, his recent inclusion in the Belgium team will have added real value.

But a £25 million player? He hasn’t done enough to earn that price tag.

On his day, he’s a quality player. But has he dominated games for Rangers regularly?

It wasn’t that long ago, with
