The level of competition in the race for the Scottish domestic silverwares failed to appeal the football fraternity as Celtic seemingly appeared to be miles ahead of their domestic competitors and clinched the Scottish Cup, League Cup and even went on to win the Scottish Premiership title without losing a single game.
The pressure to perform would be much more on the likes of Rangers who would need to go toe-to-toe with their arch rivals. To do the same, Pedro Caixinha has already started to pen down his revolutionary process which includes getting shrewd deals done to bolster his arsenal. The Gers have already lured a number of stars to the Ibrox Stadium but Caixinha is far from being satisfied with his armoury.
Rangers do not possess a huge financial muscle, so getting players for a free transfer would be an ideal situation for them. The Light Blues, more than anything else, need men who would wear their shirt with pride and someone like Haris Vuckic should be monitored closely by the former Al-Gharafa boss to beef up the quality as well as quantity of his midfield.
Despite having signed for Newcastle United way back in 2009, Vuckic failed to garner adequate opportunities with the Toons. His loan spells hardly made any impact on his career, apart from his move to Rangers back in the second half of the 2015-16 season when he mustered 9 goals and 4 assists in 22 league and cup games and was fondly cherished by the faithful of the Glasgow-based club.
Vuckic’s career never flew in the manner it was anticipated to and at this stroke of the hour, he finds himself in a crossroad with a burning zeal to prove his intrinsic value once again. The 24-year-old could ply his trade as the central attacking midfielder as well as a left winger and given his traits such as crisp movements on and off the ball, quick feet and a decent physicality, he could render Caixinha a huge favour in times to come if the deal materialises.
A reunion has the potential be a match made in heaven as Vuckic has been released by the Geordies lately and the versatile midfielder could be an ideal coup for Caixinha. Return of Emerson Hyndman and Jon Toral to their respective clubs implies that the former Slovenia international could be slotted in the no. 10 role to fill the void to enable the Teddy Bears in closing the gap between themselves and their arch rivals, Celtic.
