Rangers & Algeria Star Bougherra For Sale?

Firstly the club was up for sale, then the players, and now it appears none of the above are available. Make your minds up will you Rangers!

Backline stoppers Madjid Bougherra and super-kid Danny Wilson have been targets for the circling vultures as Rangers still struggle with debt but Cheif Executive Martin Bain has stated that neither will be leaving the club.

Bougherra’ s stock has risen after impressive showings at the World Cup

for Algeria

and the player has been linked with moves to Arsenal

as well as a £5m switch to German Bundesliga

outfit Hamburg

18 year -old super-kid Wilson who was seen as a future club captain knocked back a three-year contract extension with the Ibrox

club.

He now look set to see out the final year of his deal after Liverpool

cooled their interest in the young defender following the sacking of manager Rafa Benitez

.

The Merseyside club had a £2m bid for the PFA Young Player of the Year who burst into Walter Smith’s first team last season rejected and were believed to have upped that to £3m. Stuttgart

are also said to be keeping tabs on the young defender.

Should Wilson move on under freedom of contract next season Rangers would still be eligible for a compensation fee for his development but it would be a fraction of the fee Rangers could have got from his sale this summer.

Competition will be fierce for places in Rangers defence next season with the return of Andy Webster from loan to Dundee United

and ‘Gers skipper David Weir agreeing a new one-year contract.
