Dortmund display raises Ibrox trio’s stock

-

WITH the final year of their contracts about to kick in, Ryan Kent, Joe Aribo and Alfredo Morelos couldn’t have chosen a better platform on which to showcase their best selves than Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund.

All three were excellent in that fantastic, mind-blowing 4-2 Rangers win over BVB on Thursday. Kent, in particular, looks like a man reborn.

Former Bayern Munich midfielder Owen Hargreaves is right to say that teams in England and Germany will now be considerin­g him. Same goes for Aribo and maybe even Morelos, too.

Listen, Rangers should welcome it. All three are probably at the right time to move on. Rangers desperatel­y need to get their playertrad­ing model sorted. Finish the job against

Dortmund on Thursday and everyone will surely be in a strong negotiatin­g position.

If these guys can finish the season strongly and get big moves for big fees, everybody wins. It is nothing to be scared of. Selling your leading players and sourcing replacemen­ts doesn’t have to be the end of the world if you are set up properly behind the scenes.

Just ask Bodo/Glimt.
