From what transpired last season in the Scottish domestic competitions, it is not hard to deduce that Rangers were miles behind their arch rivals, Celtic, in terms of quality as well as productivity. The Gers had to content themselves with a 3rd place finish in the Scottish Premiership, while the Celts went on to clinch the domestic treble. In fact, Rangers failed to even impose any sort of a galvanising competition to Brendan Rodgers’ men and that is thoroughly unacceptable from a side like them.
Pedro Caixinha must have started to feel the heat already and in his process of constructing a formidable side for himself in order to ensure that they go toe-to-toe with the Bhoys, he has kept himself busy ever since the last campaign drew curtains.
Caixinha has already signed notable players like Bruno Alves, Fabio Cardoso and Daniel Candeias and is in no hurry to complete his transfer activities, but would be inclined to do it quickly to ensure his troops get the time to gel together. Apparently, Bet Victor has marked the Light Blues as a potential destination for the Portuguese Euro winner Nani.
Nani plied his trade with La Liga outfit, Valencia, and despite the fact that the Bats could manoeuvre merely a 12th place finish, he thrived well. The Portuguese international banged 5 goals and carved 7 assists to his name in 25 appearances in the Spanish top flight and no wonder why he is still so highly rated in the books of football fraternity.
Although the contract confining him to the Mestalla Stadium expires in two years time, he might be looking for new adventures and thus, a move to the Ibrox Stadium is believed to be one of his options as the Teddy Bears are still a big club in the continent.
Nani is a prolific winger whose pace, movements with and without the ball and trickery make him an appealing prospect. The 30-year-old is technically sound, dribbles well, likes to cut inside and shoot from distance and is a shrewd option to make the most of the set-pieces.
Besides, he passes the ball really well up front and has the spark which any top quality side would love to have in their ranks. At this stroke of the hour, the Gers are in a dire need of a proven veteran and serial winner, who could shake them out of their apathy and inject a winning mentality in the squad and Nani perfectly fits the bill.
