(Photo by Oliver Hardt\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Despite featuring regularly early in the campaign, the winger has lately lost his spot due to form and fitness reasons. With the World Cup playoffs knocking on the door, he must secure minutes to stake a claim in Brian Riemer\u2019s plans. Rangers are ready to pay a significant loan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/sport\/football\/football-transfer-news\/andreas-skov-olsen-rangers-transfer-36534670\">fee<\/a> to secure his services for the remainder of the season, as the board backs Danny Rohl, who has turned things around, overcoming the nightmare under Russell Martin.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why Olsen\u2019s Arrival Would Strengthen Rangers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Light Blues bolstered their flanks by snapping up Djeidi Gassama, Mikey Moore and Oliver Antman. They also have Findlay Curtis, Nedim Bajrami, Rabbi Matondo and Danilo to challenge and cover the first-team regulars. Yet the productivity from the wide areas has been below par, with Bajrami, Matondo and Danilo being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/sport\/football\/football-transfer-news\/rangers-put-danilo-5-more-36486553\">transfer-listed<\/a>, as they do not belong to Rohl\u2019s long-term plans.<\/p>\n<p>Gassama has impressed with his flair and finesse, but his finishing and decision-making remain a concern. Antman, currently out injured, has not found the net in 20 appearances. Moore, on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, has only scored three goals and laid on twice in 26 outings across competitions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/category\/leagues\/scottish-league\/rangers\/\">Rangers<\/a> miss the services of Vaclav Cerny, who made 27 goal contributions in 52 outings last season while on loan from Wolfsburg, and it remains to be seen whether Olsen follows the footsteps of his predecessor. Primarily left-footed, the Danish attacker prefers to operate from the right as an inverted winger, and his pace, dribbling, and creative spark could boost their chances of conquering the league, knocking off Celtic and Hearts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If a recent transfer update from Sky Sports\u2019 German correspondent Florian Plettenberg is believed to be true, Rangers are closing in on Andreas Skov Olsen, the Wolfsburg attacking ace, who is keen on a fresh challenge after a lack of opportunities in the Bundesliga. \ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udd35 EXCL | Glasgow Rangers have opened talks with VfL Wolfsburg [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12953,"featured_media":21030,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21029","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpinitiate.com\/echo-test\/demo76e71539\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21029","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpinitiate.com\/echo-test\/demo76e71539\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpinitiate.com\/echo-test\/demo76e71539\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpinitiate.com\/echo-test\/demo76e71539\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12953"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpinitiate.com\/echo-test\/demo76e71539\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21029"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wpinitiate.com\/echo-test\/demo76e71539\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21029\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpinitiate.com\/echo-test\/demo76e71539\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21030"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpinitiate.com\/echo-test\/demo76e71539\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21029"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpinitiate.com\/echo-test\/demo76e71539\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21029"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpinitiate.com\/echo-test\/demo76e71539\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21029"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
