£6m defender set for Champions League debut and Rangers will surely be watching for summer move

Rangers will undoubtedly watch Scott McKenna in action tonight when FC Copenhagen takes on Manchester City in the Champions

League, even though they were unable to get him.

The arrival of a center back was something Rangers supporters had been anticipating for, but it never happened.

By bringing in Fabio Silva, Oscar Cortes, and Mohamed Diomande, Philippe Clement and Nils Koppen instead concentrated on

bolstering their attacking lineup.

One Scotland international should still be kept in mind even though Rangers may concentrate on defensive acquisitions in the summer.

Rangers must watch Scott McKenna in Champions League action tonight

In January, there weren’t even many rumors about center backs, although Scott McKenna was mentioned in connection with a move to Ibrox.

According to reports, Rangers was in the running to recruit McKenna from Nottingham Forest,

who acquired him from Aberdeen in 2020 for about £6 million.

This summer marks McKenna’s Forest contract expiration, and Rangers may have been considering a steal to entice McKenna back to Scotland.

However, McKenna made an unexpected transfer to Denmark, joining FC Copenhagen on loan until the summer, meaning Rangers missed out before the deadline.

McKenna just played for Copenhagen in the Atlantic Cup, but tonight when Copenhagen takes on Manchester City in the Champions

League, he will be in the thick of things.

Erling Haaland will be the man the Scot must handle, and we expect Rangers to be keeping

an eye on him throughout this pivotal match.

McKenna is just on loan at Copenhagen; when his Forest contracts expire this summer, he will still be available as a free agent.

In the summer, Rangers still have the opportunity to sign McKenna, who fits the bill as a cheap addition with Scottish football

experience and a left-footed defensive option by nature.

Although McKenna has a difficult assignment before of him tonight, the Rangers must continue to monitor him and consider bringing

him in for a summer transfer to partner with Connor Goldson at center defense.
