Eros Grezda will not be joining up with Rangers for their pre-season training camp in Portugal, according to The Daily Record.
What’s the story?
The Rangers winger has had a difficult time since making the move from NK Osijek to Ibrox last summer.
With injury and fitness issues blighting his season, he didn’t get the first-team action needed to impress and justify his £2m transfer fee.
Most recently he’s had problems at international level too, walking out of the Albanian squad that was to face Iceland and Moldova at the start of June.
Now the winger’s agent has confirmed he won’t be part of Rangers’ preparations for upcoming European qualifiers.
The fans in the video below had some very strong words for Michael Platini who was detained over alleged corruption this week…
As quoted by The Daily Record, Ives Cakarun said:
“He is still with Rangers but at the moment because he was with the national squad and there was some problems last week he will not be in the squad.
We’ve spoken to the club and at the moment he is still part of Rangers. Let’s see what happens in the window but at the moment there is no news.”
The paper say that he is now edging closer towards an Ibrox exit, with the club willing to listen to offers for the 24-year-old.
Should Rangers get rid?
Grezda made just seven starts last season, which is a poor return considering he was one of the few players that arrived for a transfer fee last summer.
When he did play he rarely impressed too, never really having the cutting edge required to punish opposition defenders on the right flank.
A definitive decision now needs to be made on his future. If he can’t even take part in pre-season training then it’s time to call it quits and get him out the door as soon as possible.
Rangers can’t afford to have unsettled players on their books, both from a financial perspective and a squad harmony one.
All their squad need to be pulling in the same direction if they are to close the gap on Celtic and right now, it doesn’t seem like Grezda is interested in doing that.
