Blackburn Rovers Defender Linked with Rangers Amid Interest

Blackburn Rovers' defender Ryan Alebiosu has been linked with Rangers amid interest from the Scottish club. The 24-year-old has been a shining light for the Championship side despite their poor run.

Why Rangers Must Bring Him As Tavernier's Successor

Rangers are undergoing a squad revamp under McInnes, who has replaced Danny Rohl as the new Ibrox chief. The Scotsman has been heavily backed, with six new names already roped in so far this window. They are closing in on a couple of other targets, as several summer exits highlight the need for reinforcements to restore parity across the pitch.

What Comes Next?

Rangers scouts were left frustrated on their scouting mission, with reported target Ryan Alebiosu missing Blackburn Rovers' recent pre-season fixture with a minor bug. The Light Blues were not alone in the hunt, as the Premier League outfit Brentford also sent representatives to keep close tabs on the right-back.

League Standing

Blackburn Rovers currently sit 20th in the Championship, 43 points behind leaders Coventry, with 42 goals scored and 56 conceded (-14 goal difference) this season.
