Go for it Gerrard – Rangers should sign this out of favour Watford ace to sort out their left-back woes
Why Rangers must make a move for Marvin Zeegelaar in January
Rangers have done brilliantly well under new manager Steven Gerrard so far this season. The Gers now find themselves at the top of the Scottish Premiership table and all credits to Gerrard for transforming the club.
The Ibrox-based club signed a whopping 15 players in the summer transfer window to challenge arch-rivals Celtic for the title. And as far as the signings are concerned, most of the new faces have performed well. However, there are still certain areas that need improvement and the left-back is the primary position Gerrard should think of strengthening in January.
Rangers signed Borna Barisic from Croatian club Osijek earlier this summer but after a bright start to life in the Scottish Premiership, the left-back has been marred with injury problems. A calf injury has kept the Croatia international out for the past two months that has seen Gerrard use Jon Flanagan at left-back.
Marvin Zeegelaar
Jon Flanagan, one of the summer signings, is primarily a right full-back but is currently playing out of position. The former Liverpool man has struggled at left-back but Gerrard has been forced to play him in that position following Barisic’s injury problems. Truth be told, Flanagan was brought in to provide cover to James Tavernier, who has been excellent under Gerrard’s stewardship this season.
Therefore, going for a left back in January would make complete sense for Rangers and Gerrard should target Watford’s Marvin Zeegelaar. He is yet to play for Watford this season and remains completely out of favour under Javi Gracia. At left-back, Gracia has preferred the likes of Jose Holebas and Adam Masina ahead of Marvin Zeegelaar this term.
With Holebas and Masina around, there seems to be no way for Zeegelaar to get playing time this season. The Dutch defender should push for a move away in the upcoming transfer window given that he has been frozen out of the squad.
Rangers should try luring Zeegelaar away from Vicarage Road in the New Year. The 28-year-old would be a quality addition and can also be deployed in an advanced role on the left. He would offer healthy competition for Barisic, while also adding depth to the squad. Zeegelaar’s pace and power coupled with his physical attributes make him tailor-made for the Scottish Premiership.

Rangers should aim to make a long run in the Europa League and challenge Celtic for the title. To do so successfully, the Gers need to sign a defensively strong left-back who can also help the attack. And to that end, Zeegelaar is an ideal option.

Report: Celtic dealt blow in pursuit of 19-year-old Serie A ace
Celtic dealt major blow in pursuit of Bologna star Aaron Hickey
According to La Nazione (h/t Daily Record), Fiorentina have intensified negotiations with fellow Serie A club Bologna for the signing of Celtic target Aaron Hickey, dealing a blow to the Hoops.
Hickey started out at the academy of Scottish club Heart of Midlothian FC and briefly spent time at Celtic as well before returning to Hearts, where he graduated to the first-team and went on to make 34 senior appearances.
The young left-back, who scored and assisted one goal apiece for his boyhood club, was snapped up by Serie A side Bologna in the summer of last year. Hickey did not feature regularly for the Serie A outfit due to injury problems. Indeed, the 19-year-old featured in just 12 games throughout the 2020/21 season.
But his stock remains high as ever, as Celtic are intent on bringing him back to Scotland this summer. The Hoops, embarking on a new journey under new manager Ange Postecoglou, are looking to bolster their defensive department.
Having decided not to sign Diego Laxalt permanently, Celtic have just Boli Bolingoli and Greg Taylor as options at left-back, with the former unsure of a future after returning from loan. So, signing someone like Hickey, who can make the spot his own for the coming years, would have been a good move.
However, Fiorentina seem to have thrown a spanner in the works for Celtic as the Serie A side have upped their efforts to land the youngster from Bologna. Indeed, it is reported that La Viola have intensified negotiations over a move, although they will have to offer at least €5m to stand a chance of signing the teenager.

Bologna are in no hurry to sell Hickey and will wait for the highest bid as they look to maximise their profits. It is now up to Celtic to step up in their pursuit of the 19-year-old or risk missing out on him.

Transfer News: Rangers star Glen Kamara wanted by Everton
According to transfer news from Eurosport (h/t Glasgow Live), Premier League club Everton have entered the race to sign Glen Kamara from Scottish champions Rangers this summer.
Kamara started out his youth football in his homeland, Finland, before switching to England in 2011 when he signed for the Southend United academy. A year later, he was snapped up by Premier League giants Arsenal, where he rose through the youth ranks but couldn’t break into the first-team.
After loan spells away at Southend United and Colchester United, Kamara left Arsenal permanently in the summer of 2017, signing for Scottish club Dundee FC. The 25-year-old Finnish midfielder rose to prominence with the club and was picked up by Steven Gerrard’s Rangers in the winter transfer window of 2019.
During his two-and-a-half-year stay at the Ibrox Stadium, Kamara has developed into one of the best midfielders on show in the Scottish Premiership. The Finland star played an integral role in the Gers’ title victory last season as he racked up over 50 appearances in all competitions, scoring and assisting a couple of goals apiece. (h/t Transfermarkt)
However, Kamara’s time at the Ibrox Stadium could be drawing towards a close, with Everton joining a number of other clubs in pursuit of the ex-Arsenal youngster. Indeed, the likes of Watford and Brentford have already shown an interest in the 25-year-old while an unnamed Russian club is also keen, with the Toffees also joining the bandwagon.

Given how important Kamara has been for Rangers in his time at the club, his potential departure would come as a blow. However, with his contract expiring in two years and with so many teams interested, this also represents the Gers best chance of making good money from his sale, which they can reinvest in the squad.
With a transfer fee of £15m being mentioned, the Light Blues could stand to make a massive profit, having signed him for a measly £50k in 2019.
