ONE TOUCH INSIGHT
Rangers have made two signings that feel less like upgrades and more like panic buys. Kelsy and Bouanani arrive with promise but little proof they can thrive in the Premiership’s intensity, especially with the squad already thin in attack. This isn’t ambition — it’s damage limitation after a summer of missed targets.
The real issue is timing and fit. Bouanani’s loan from Stuttgart suggests Rangers couldn’t secure a permanent winger, while Kelsy’s move from MLS raises questions about his readiness for Scottish football’s physical demands. Neither player has shown they can consistently impact games at this level, and relying on them to fix a struggling attack is risky.
Rangers must now prove these signings work fast — or admit they misjudged the market. The concrete thing to watch is whether Bouanani starts against Aberdeen next weekend and if Kelsy gets minutes off the bench in that same game.
