Rangers supporters can already see the problem this season. The club has loaded the squad with too many loans, and the results show on the pitch. It is obvious that players who know they are leaving next summer have no reason to dig in for the shirt. They are not invested in Rangers, and they will not fight for the badge when it matters. That is the harsh truth, and it has left the squad short of passion. The issue of loans is clear, and it damages the club every week, as was seen when Rangers secured another short term signing. Loan Rangers who don’t care about Ibrox.
When you sign a player on a temporary deal, you already accept he is not staying. He knows his future lies elsewhere, and he views Rangers as a stepping stone. That is exactly what fans see from names like Mikey Moore, Max Aarons, Nasser Djiga and Jayden Meghoma. They are here for one year, they are gone in a year, and that is it. They are not thinking about long term success, they are thinking about their parent clubs. The passion is not there, and supporters can feel it, even when Rangers chased another forward and still leaned on the loan market.
Rangers spent the biggest budget since the days of Dick Advocaat, yet so much of it went into wages for loan players. Instead of signing leaders who will give years of service, the board settled for quick fixes. You cannot build a winning squad on that basis. These players arrive, they take their game time, and then they leave without a second thought. That does not help the dressing room, and it does not help the long term plan either. The fans want players who commit. They want Rangers men who buy into the cause, not yet another Premier League youngster.
The bigger problem is that too many players like this end up in the same squad. When half the team is full of players with no attachment, it shows in the effort levels. There is no urgency, there is no passion, and there is no leadership on the park. Fans can see the difference when compared to Celtic, who sign players with resale value but also with contracts that bind them to the club. Rangers cannot afford to repeat the same mistakes. If you fill the squad with loans, you fill it with passengers, as we warned when examining Moore’s arrival. Loan Rangers who don’t care about Ibrox.
Rangers must end this failed approach. The board needs to bring in permanent signings who will bleed for the badge. Otherwise the cycle will repeat, the loans will play without passion, and the club will fall short once again.
