Rangers may finally be getting rid of deeply unwanted player | OneFootball

Rangers have finally found a potential escape route for Kieran Dowell, with Hull City ready to offer the midfielder a new start in the Championship. It looks like the end of the line at Ibrox for Dowell, who has struggled since joining and now faces the exit door for good. The player has been told he has no future under Danny Rohl, and this latest move could be the fresh beginning he needs.

Failed promise and wasted potential

When Rangers signed Dowell from Norwich, there was genuine hope that his experience in English football would bring composure and control to midfield. Instead, fans have watched a player who never looked settled. Injuries, inconsistency and a lack of confidence ruined any chance of momentum. Supporters never saw the creative spark expected from a player once tipped for Premier League potential.

Danny Rohl gave him chances in training, but Dowell never convinced. His passing lacked sharpness and his pace faded as matches went on. The manager made his stance clear by leaving him out of the matchday squads entirely. Dowell’s time has run out, and even the player seems to know it.

Hull City’s interest makes perfect sense. The Championship suits Dowell’s style better, and he still has enough talent to rebuild his career. A move south would allow him to reset away from the intense scrutiny of Ibrox. Hull need depth and creativity in midfield, and Dowell could fill that gap if he rediscovers belief in himself.

Hull ready to strike

This deal is expected to be permanent, which suits everyone. Rangers can clear his wages and free up space for players who actually fit Rohl’s system. Hull gain a technically capable midfielder who has shown flashes of quality in the past. Dowell gets the chance to play regular football again, something that has eluded him for far too long.

A clean break for all parties

Rangers supporters will not mourn this exit. Dowell arrived with quiet expectations but never delivered. His departure symbolises another failed chapter from Rangers’ recent recruitment, where too many recruits fell short of the required standard.

Danny Rohl has no room for passengers and is now reshaping the squad with players he trusts. Letting Dowell move on is part of that process. Rangers move forward with renewed focus while the player heads back to a league that once valued him. It is best for everyone involved.
