Rangers may have got lucky escape with £4.7m striker after four goals in 21

What would have been an early beginning for Westerlo was ruled out due to the Croatian’s involvement. Furthermore, Matija Frigan

had let two excellent opportunities slip by by the time he was substituted late in the game; his goal total after 21 Jupiler League games

was still a pitiful four. At full time, a disgruntled Frigan told Gazet van Antwerpen, “We are blinded by the harsh reality of football,”

attempting to make sense of a game that ended in the visitors’ favor despite Charleroi managing just one shot on goal and seven fewer

than their unfortunate hosts.

Rangers considered Matija Frigan

This season, Westerlo hasn’t had much trouble scoring goals.

They are by far the highest scorers in the lower part of Belgium’s first division with forty. Despite the remarkable performance of their

Chelsea-affiliated star Kevin Denkey, Westerlo has also managed to surpass third-place Cercle Brugge.

Even though Frigan’s comeback is more impressive than it first appears when you factor in his XG (WhoScored), the £4.7 million club

record fee Westerlo paid for the former HNK Rijeka striker is looking more expensive with every miss when you consider that he has

only managed four from 25 attempts on goal.Rangers were heavily linked with the Croatia under-21 international last summer before

betting big on Danilo and Cyriel Dessers. With seven goals in nine games before Saturday’s clash with Motherwell, Dessers has

bounced back from a miserable start to life at Ibrox. Arguably the most improved player of the Philippe Clement era.
