Rangers firepower has me licking my lips and Morelos and Kent staying would be the icing on the cake - Barry Ferguson

Just a week ago I was starting to wonder what Rangers were up to in this transfer window. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t ready to press the panic button or anything like that, but I was beginning to scratch my head a little bit, trying to figure out why no real business was getting done.

So I have to say I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the flurry of activity which has seen three new players in the door in the space of just a few days. We won’t know for sure until we see them performing in the flesh but, from the outside looking in, there’s a lot to be excited about in the arrivals of Antonio Colak, Tom Lawrence and Rabbi Matondo.

Put it this way, if I was Giovanni van Bronckhorst I’d be licking my lips right now just thinking about the firepower and all the attacking options which are piling up inside my dressing room ahead of the new campaign. And I still expect him to add another one or two before the market shuts down at the end of next month.

By then we’ll also know what the future holds for Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent and although the general feeling is that both of them will move on, I’m not sure that’s going to happen. I honestly think Morelos will sign a new contract and I wouldn’t be surprised if Kent did the same over the next couple of weeks, even though he’ll still have aspirations of playing in the Premier League.

And if I’m right, then Van Bronckhorst is going to have a real job on his hands just trying to pick a front three from all the attackers he’ll have in his armoury. Think about it for a second. Kent, Morelos, Colak, Lawrence, Matondo as well as the likes of Kemar Roofe, Fashion Sakala and Scott Wright? And that’s before Ianis Hagi gets back to full fitness around September time.

That’s
