Rangers Star Hands In Transfer Request, Leaving Trophy Haul Dreams Behind
The drama in Scottish football continues as a playmaker from Rangers has officially submitted his transfer request, signaling his desire to leave Ibrox behind. This news comes after a tough defeat against Birmingham, and it’s clear the star is looking for a new challenge.
Just a few months ago, the 26-year-old had aspirations of matching Callum McGregor‘s impressive trophy collection at Celtic. McGregor has been hoisting silverware for years, while the Rangers star only has a single Viaplay Cup title to his name.
The rivalry between the two has been heated, especially after a fiery moment during the Old Firm match back in April. The post-match scuffle was a clear indication of the competitive spirit as both players exchanged some strong words on the pitch.
In the thick of the league title chase, the Rangers player expressed a bold ambition to surpass McGregor’s achievements. While reflecting on their rivalry, he emphasized his relentless desire to win, stating, “I want to win probably just as much as he (McGregor) does, probably a little bit more, to be honest.” However, McGregor seemed unfazed, maintaining focus on competing successfully throughout the season.
While McGregor has now celebrated 22 trophies in his career, the Rangers player is set to leave with just one medal. It appears that McGregor may ultimately have the last laugh over this rivalry, as the wantaway star looks for greener pastures away from the Light Blues.
