Kevin Thelwell might now sign the multimillion striker that Clement wanted at Rangers.

Rangers are planning to be busy this summer, with Kevin Thelwell directing the recruitment push.

Russell Martin, the new manager, requires the support of 49ers Enterprises and Andrew Cavenagh to restructure the roster.

In a challenging year led by Philippe Clement and later interim manager Barry Ferguson, the present collection of players ended 17 points behind archrivals Celtic.

They must make major improvements if they are to avoid the same fate in the race for the Scottish Premiership title in the coming season.

Rangers consider Frigan move as price tag surfaces.

Westerlo striker Matija Frigan is garnering interest from the Govan outfit as they prepare for a hectic summer.

Mark Hendry (9 June) said that Frigan is on the Gers’ three-man striker shortlist and would cost roughly £8.4 million.

It adds that the Light Blues have been interested in the Croatian forward since Clement was in command.

Thelwell’s signing of Frigan would be a masterstroke.

This season, the Gers struggled with a lack of firepower.

Cyriel Dessers and Hamza Igamane, for example, had strong performances at times but were inconsistent.

The Nigerian was frequently guilty of squandering golden opportunities, but the Moroccan failed to establish himself on Ferguson in the latter parts of the campaign.

Frigan would help alleviate those concerns; he scored 15 goals in 39 games in the Belgian Pro League, and the Gers had already scouted a diamond from that league in Nico Raskin, who might be sold for a large profit this summer.

The Bears must be strategic in their recruitment if they are to catch Brendan Rodgers‘ side, and Thelwell signing a promising striker from Europe may be a brilliant way to get ahead of the game.

If the Govan outfit can outbid Hamburg and an unknown La Liga team for his services, it will be a strong start to their business ahead of a key summer for Martin and Co as they strive to repair the damage done by the previous government.
