Rangers-Related News: Player Recommendations, Transfer Demands, Referee Review, and Licensing Decisions

Borna Barisic has reportedly put forward NK Osijek midfielder Marko Soldo, aged 28, as a potential signing for his former team, Rangers, according to Mail+. Rangers are expected to seek a substantial transfer fee if they were to permit the departure of 21-year-old Moroccan striker Hamza Igamane in January, especially given Everton’s interest and his recent integration into the Ibrox first team, as reported by TeamTalk. Willie Collum, the Scottish FA’s head of referees, is anticipated to officially address allegations that Rangers were incorrectly refused a penalty during their Scottish League Cup final loss to Celtic on Sunday. This will occur when the governing body’s regular VAR Review is broadcast on its YouTube channel on Thursday, according to the Herald (subscription). Furthermore, Glasgow City Council has expressed no reservations regarding the temporary alcohol licence issued to Rangers ahead of Celtic’s Scottish Premiership match on 2 January. This stance comes despite the disturbances observed in the city over the weekend related to the League Cup final between the two clubs at Hampden, as reported by the Herald (subscription).
