Yet another injury for Rangers could see £4.5 million wasted | OneFootball

With Rangers manager Philippe Clement insisting that Colombian attacker Oscar Cortes can still have a great future at Rangers. It does call into question the wisdom of signing the lens forward.

Cortes once again finds himself injured and with Rangers’ agreement with the French team echoing very loudly in the background it does feel like £4.5 million wasted.

Don’t get us wrong, we actually like the Colombian a lot here on Ibrox noise and think he has a lot of ability. He showed early on major trickery pace and the ability to score.

And his start at Ibrox was very very good, but Clement mismanaged him terribly fielding him on Kilmarnock’s terrible pitch and he ended up long-term injured from that.

Clement then mismanaged him again by bringing him in from the cold against hearts at the start of the season and guess what. Yes, injured again.

Then Clement did it yet again, breaking him back in from the cold and now he has suffered yet another setback.

For some reason this manager is incapable of managing the Colombian correctly.

And if we question that wisdom,, then we must also question the wisdom to agree a £4.5 million permanent transfer this summer.

It is very much like Kemar Roofe – an extremely talented player who simply could not stay fit.

Add to this the bad judgement of Mohamed Diomande for also £4.5 million and that is effectively £9 million rangers do not have, wasted.

The decision-making at Ibrox is clearly very poor these days. We do not have £10 million to waste and yet here we are doing so.

For every Hamza and potentially Clinton, there is also a litany of Dowells & Matondos.

For every one thing the club manages to luck out and get right it manages to screw up another 10.

We do hope Cortes comes good, but he’s been with us for over a year and we’ve barely seen him.

We really hope that changes.
