Rangers chairman Andrew Cavenagh expects up to five more signings before the transfer window closes, admitting that results are not where he’d like them to be, according to a meeting with shareholders at an open forum in Glasgow. The club has already added nine new faces this summer, but sits on just one league point after two games under new manager Derek McInnes. The initial leg of the Europa League third qualifying round tie against Jagiellonia Bialystok last week has also contributed to the club’s struggles. Cavenagh stated that business so far has been ‘clunky’ but they are working hard to bring success, highlighting a desire to bolster the squad. He specifically mentioned that there is a possibility of at least three to five players coming in, with a potential for one or two to go out. McInnes was frustrated following the rejection of Chermiti, an injury sustained after Rangers refused a bid for striker. The Rangers host Jagiellonia in the second leg on Thursday, with either Larne or Iberia Tbilisi awaiting the winners in the play-offs. Cavenagh added that the club needs to finish second and potentially worse, and that they are not going to sulk about it, but that they’re optimistic now that the year has passed. The club is seeking clarification from the SFA regarding the VAR call that led to a Hibernian penalty in Sunday’s 2-1 defeat. He emphasized the need for a strategy for improving VAR officiating and the need for improvement overall, adding that the SFA needs to ask ‘what is the strategy for improvement?’ The club’s website offers a comprehensive overview of all news, analysis, and fan perspectives regarding Rangers.
