Winner confirmed in Rangers race to sign 'Exciting' international striker - report

Rangers and Celtic have both officially lost out to Middlesbrough in the race to sign striker Tommy Conway who left Bristol City.

According to the Daily Record (16 August), both Old Firm sides wanted to sign the Scotland international but Boro announced his signing.

The 22-year-old will now not be moving to Scotland this month and instead will play his football at the Riverside Stadium.

Rangers still to seal a new striker transfer before the deadline

Stephen McGinn raved over the “Exciting” Scotland international when he found out that Gers were considering a move for him.

However, now that he’s not moving to Ibrox, it’s time the club focus on alternatives.

Despite the setback with Conway opting for Middlesbrough, Gers must not waver in their pursuit of a new striker.

The urgency for the club to bolster their attacking options is palpable and Philippe Clement needs firepower in attack.

The competitive nature of the Scottish Premiership, coupled with Rangers’ ambitions in domestic and European competitions, necessitates a robust frontline.

Missing out on Conway should serve as a catalyst for intensified efforts in the transfer market.

A new striker would not only provide competition for places, pushing the current squad to perform at higher levels, but also ensure depth, crucial for managing the rigours of a season with multiple fronts.

In other Rangers news, a development has emerged as Gers aim to secure the transfer of a £6.8m-rated international striker.
