Wilson eyeing Rangers swoop for "complete" £8.5m gem, he's Alfredo Morelos 2.0 - opinion

Rangers have now confirmed the sale of Ibrox flop Cedric Itten this week as he has been axed from the club after a disappointing season in Glasgow.

The Glasgow giants forward averaged a SofaScore rating of 7.32 in the Premiership in 2021/22. He managed 11
