“For what Rangers paid for him, I would have expected more…” —Raging Kris Boyd indirectly calls 26-year old Rangers star a ‘WASTE of Money’ and Not Good Enough to play for the club, calls for him to be SOLD immediately as he has no future at Ibrox

Andrew Cavenagh and the 49ers are prepared to get started immediately, once their first full-time Rangers manager is in place.

After several weeks of discussions, Russell Martin appears to be heading to Ibrox, and there’s a significant amount of work to tackle before the campaign kicks off.

While fans inside Ibrox anticipate which fresh names could be arriving in Glasgow, the new ownership will also be eager to move on fringe players.

Kris Boyd believes Nedim Bajrami falls into that bracket.

Boyd outlines Bajrami frustration

Since arriving at Ibrox last summer, Bajrami has featured in 28 Scottish Premiership matches this term.

However, the majority of his outings were as a substitute, with the midfielder struggling to cement a regular starting role.

A limited impact in the attacking third has further fuelled frustration among the Ibrox faithful, particularly after the club invested a notable sum to bring him in.

Although he showed glimpses of better form in the Europa League, few in Glasgow are convinced he has done enough to be considered a key figure in the squad going forward.

This summer, he’s already been linked with an exit from Rangers, and Boyd has encouraged the Govan side to let him go.

Speaking on the Go Ballistic Podcast (2 June), he said: “I just look at Bajrami and for what Rangers paid for him, I would have expected more.

“Two goals and one assist in the Premiership this year. It’s not enough for someone who cost £3.5million.

“And I get they’ll be people out there saying, but he didn’t start every game. There’s a reason why he didn’t start every game. You get an opportunity every single day in training to change the manager’s opinion, to change the thoughts and force your way into that team.”

Rangers must move Bajrami on:

Although Rangers invested in him last summer, they should now be willing to accept the setback and sell him in this window.

The 26-year-old has failed to impress at Ibrox, delivering underwhelming displays, and Martin will likely want to proceed only with players who have made their mark.

A fresh chapter is about to begin in Glasgow, and the 49ers appear ready to provide their new coach with the backing required to restore Rangers’ stature.

In Bajrami’s scenario, he probably won’t be part of those future plans.

With clubs already expressing interest in the Rangers midfielder, it’s an opportunity presented to the Light Blues without major obstacles—one they should seize.

Letting him go would bring in some money and clear a spot in the team for someone capable of providing the necessary impact on the field.
