With their army of readers braced for Calvin Bassey playing for Juventus next season the Daily Record has delivered a timely Ibrox feel good yarn.Â
‘Rangers’, the club that went into liquidation in 2012, are 18/1 favourites to sign free agent Gareth Bale.Â
That is the news going through the Record sports desk as the grim reality of no guaranteed Champions League football begins to sink in.Â
Add in losses of £23.5m in the 20/21 season and paying off Sports Direct and it is easy to see the need to send out warm feel-good news to Ibrox fans.Â
The 24 hours of joy that greeted the signing of Aaron Ramsey was followed by misery culminating with a missed penalty on Seville, surely they couldn’t repeat that masterstroke as Bale looks for some limited game time ahead of the World Cup Finals in November.Â
