Gers deal has shades of Lewandowski, Clement will be keeping fingers crossed

Rangers faced Dumbarton in the early stages of Storm Isha,

with wind and rain lashing down in the foothills of the castle,

and some decent football was still played; however,

The Gers manager has been connected with a number of players this transfer window,

but only one has been added to his team and revealed to an eager Ibrox audience.

Mohamed Diomande could be next, but Chris Jack has disclosed that his move to Rangers has been delayed,

which will only add to Philippe Clement’s frustration.

Rangers sweat as Philippe Clement waits for the target.

The agreement to bring the Nordsjaelland midfielder to Scotland was hampered by

the fact that the Danish Superliga team is now in America.

According to Jack, the 22-year-old was supposed to arrive on Monday, but Storm Isha cancelled his visit.

Flights from Manchester to Dublin taking off only to be diverted to Belfast, Glasgow,

and finally landing in Paris and Bordeaux tell you everything you need to know about

how awful the weather has been pouring in from the Atlantic.

Rangers could have done without the delay, and it is only lucky that the transfer is all but sealed,

with the exception of a medical needing to be passed by the Ivorian – imagine if this had happened on deadline day.

It is not the first time something like this has occurred,

but happily, there are no reservations about the transfer being finalized just yet.

Robert Lewandowski’s abortive move to Blackburn Rovers due to the volcanic ash cloud event of 2010

has to be one of the most significant sliding doors moments in English football.

With 21 goals for Lech Poznan, the Polish superstar was one of Europe’s most sought-after players,

but planes being grounded and flights being cancelled forced Lewandowski and his agency to search elsewhere.

Borussia Dortmund won the race, Blackburn continued their downward trend, and the rest is history.

Hopefully, Rangers won’t experience the same fate.
