But he just seems to be a strong character.

“I’ve been observing him closely as to what I think his style and his management style has been like, and he’s got off to a reasonable start given, again, the turmoil that he’s walked into. But yes, I think we’ll see him going back and looking in fresh markets, overseas international markets and trying to bring in some young talent at that time.” Credit: IMAGORangers could lose young talent in JanuaryWhilst Rangers are looking at adding to their squad in January, the club could lose one of its best young talents.Bailey Rice is being pursued by Premier League clubs with his contract expiring at the end of the season, and talks over a new deal with Rangers having stalled.The 19-year-old became the youngest player to appear for the club in the Scottish Premiership in February 2023, and he has started one game for Rangers this season.
