Robin Propper rejects Ibrox exit as he vows to ‘stay on and fight’

Robin Propper has stalled on his expected return to FC Twente following a disastrous season at Ibrox.

The defender had a release clause in his Twente deal, only one club was interested, offered £2.5m plus a massive leap in wages to the defender who had never played in a single European tie or at any international level.

Propper stepped into the boots of Connor Goldson but looked badly equipped to cope with the basics of Scottish football from the moment he scored an OG in his debut against Motherwell.

Halfway through his two year contract Propper knows that he is wanted again by Twente but is playing the game for an Ibrox pay off rather than walk away from a season of big money.

Discussing the situation, Twente’s Sporting Director Jan Streuer told The Sun:

We have to wait and see with him. Robin wants to hear from his club on what they’re going to do.

I understand that there are new owners, a new technical director, a new manager and new coaches.

They always have new ideas and they also bring their own players with them.

The question is what all this means for Robin but he’s welcome back here.

Last summer five first team players at Ibrox, including Goldson used similar tactics to get out of the Clement Revolution. Total fees of £810,000 were raised.

Kev Thelwell faces the same situation with players knowing that they won’t get their wages matched elsewhere while agents know that the Ibrox club are desperate to cut costs.
