Ibrox transfer guru goes speed dating for January belters

Ross Wilson is attending a Speed Dating session in Berlin to bring in new faces for January.

The self styled transfer guru spent the best part of £12m on Ridvan Yilmaz, Rabbi Matondo and Ben Davies during the last transfer window while serial crock John Souttar has the security of a five year contract.

Ibrox fans are starting to realise that there is virtually no substance to the former Falkirk star spotter but Wilson has to retain the image and profile of being a big hitter around the transfer table.

Picking up on his Berlin jolly, the Daily Record reports:

Record Sport understands an Ibrox representative checked into TransferRoom’s Berlin convention with meetings with other European clubs set for both Monday and Tuesday. Sporting director Ross Wilson is a long-time backer of the transfer trading market and has previously attended.

TransferRoom – labelled the speed dating of football – sees decision-makers from the world’s biggest clubs meet in person for multiple 15-minute meetings to discuss incomings and outgoings.

And Rangers’ plans appear unmoved despite mounting speculation over their manager’s future. A clutch of Scottish Premiership clubs are heading to the German capital to talk moves with interested parties. Aberdeen, Dundee United, Motherwell and Hibs are also scheduled to be in attendance.

With van Bronckhorst to be paid off it is likely that January transfer funds will be very limited for whoever is in charge.
