History shows that Rangers' rebuilds don't work - the Ibrox club need Celtic to botch their summer recruitment drive.

Filip Sebo is given a warm welcome by two Rangers supporters when he arrives at Glasgow Airport to sign for the Ibrox club in 2006Was it when his new-look team drew three of their opening five Premiership games in the 2006/07 season? Was it when his side lost 2-0 toat Parkhead in September to fall seven points behind their city rivals? Or was it when he stripped Barry Ferguson of the captaincy in January and told the midfielder he would never play for him...

His predecessor Alex McLeish could have warned him. His reign had unravelled after he had been forced, due to financial issues, to sign non-entities like Olivier Bernard, Jose-Karl Pierre-Fanfan, Julien Rodriguez and Filippo Maniero the previous year. It was little surprise when he departed after a wretched, trophyless campaign.when extensive surgery is required.

One prominent blogger this week demanded Borna Barisic, Jose Cifuentes, Ben Davies, Dessers, Kieran Dowell, Connor Goldson, Ianis Hagi, Ryan Jack, Sam Lammers, Tom Lawrence, John Lundstram, Jon McLaughlin, James Tavernier, Kemar Roofe and Ridvan Yilmaz be shown the exit door.

Rangers were superb in the Premiership in the 2020/21 season. They went undefeated and deservedly finished 25 points clear of their nearest challengers as a result. Still, their cause was aided considerably by Albian Ajeti, Vasilis Barkas, Shane Duffy and Diego Laxalt all bombing on the other side of the River Clyde. They need the Scottish champions to implode once again.
