It hasn’t been a season worth relishing for Rangers by any means as they have seemingly appeared to be miles behind their arch rivals, Celtic. Managerial ramifications, sporadic run of form and the persistent invincible run of the Celts on the domestic soil has ensured that the Gers fail to mount a substantial challenge for the domestic silverwares and have miles to run before they go toe-to-toe with Brendan Rodgers’ troops.
Pedro Caixinha must have started to feel the heat of being the manager of a mammoth club like Rangers and would have to start the rebuilding process from the scratch once the curtains of the summer transfer window get lifted. The Portuguese isn’t unfamiliar with the loopholes existing in his ranks, which got severely exploited by the Hoops for a couple of times last month in the Old Firm derbies. Midfield would be one of the prime sectors of scrutiny and apparently, Graham Dorrans is targeted by Caixinha.
Dorrans has been a lifelong Gers fan and without any shadow of a doubt, it would be a dream move for the Glasgow-based man if he gets shipped to the Ibrox Stadium. The former Al-Gharafa boss is plotting to construct a core team for himself with players having a decent club as well as national level experience, which would enable him to get results in his stride in time to come. Norwich City are shaping up their wage structure after having failed to earn a promotion and are currently penning a large scale exodus, which implies that with the right price, the Light Blues can very well tempt the Canaries to strike him off his books.
Despite having struggled with muscle injury for a considerable period this campaign, Dorrans has registered 23 appearances to his name, scoring 6 goals and registering 1 assist in the process. With an excellent pass accuracy of 86.3%, the 30-year-old has made 0.9 key passes, 1.7 tackles, 1.9 interceptions, 1.5 clearances and 0.1 blocks per game on an average, which is some really compelling statistics for a midfielder.
The former West Bromwich Albion defensive midfielder would be a fine addition to the arsenal of the Teddy Bears owing to the fact that he shields the backline meticulously, has an exemplary passing range, lashes forward occasionally and never refrains from getting into tight areas, Moreover, he is quite energetic as well and the way he keeps toiling and covering distances would be very much welcomed at Rangers.
