in talks over James Penrice swap deal as UEFA concern on horizon at Ibrox"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Rangers back in for James Penrice transfer as UEFA concern on horizon at Ibrox<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rangers will make another attempt to sign AEK Athens left-back James Penrice in the upcoming transfer window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to The Herald on 11 May, the Gers are ready to pursue the Scottish defender\u2019s signature in the summer to reinforce their backline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The news outlet reports that with Jayden Meghoma on his way back to Brentford, the Light Blues want to sign the former Hearts ace to provide competition for Tuur Rommens next season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s also the issue of keeping in mind that the Glaswegian outfit need a minimum of eight homegrown players trained at the club and association level to name a full 25-man squad for UEFA club competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Penrice would certainly be a decent addition at Ibrox, but it remains to be seen whether he\u2019s willing to leave Greece for a return to Scotland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udea8 RANGERS TRANSFER UPDATE \ud83d\udea8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest breaking news on signings, departures, and Danny R\u00f6hl\u2019s primary targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>James Penrice transfer to Rangers may suit all parties<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rangers wanted to sign Penrice in the winter transfer window before eventually getting a deal over the line for Rommens with Westerlo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AEK apparently rejected an offer from the Gers in January, but they haven\u2019t given up on his arrival in Govan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Statistics\tJames Penrice<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Appearances\t19<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starts\t15<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Big chances created\t2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accurate crosses per

(44%)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Penrice\u2019s league record this season, as per Sofascore<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The left-back, who will turn 28 in December, hasn\u2019t been the first name on the team sheet for the Greek side, who have secured the league title this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Penrice has started just 15 games in the A1 Ethniki Katigoria, Greece\u2019s top flight, and both the club and the player may want to part ways at the end of the campaign after just one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Danny Rohl should be all over Ibrox transfer business<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Danny Rohl\u2019s future at Rangers seems uncertain right now after a tough few weeks have seen them crash out of the William Hill Premiership title race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With two games to go in the league, the Gers are guaranteed to finish third in the table, which will see them enter the qualifying stages of the Europa League or Conference League, depending on the outcome of the Scottish Cup final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the German manager remains in charge of the Govan side going into next season, he should demand a greater say in the recruitment process at Ibrox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 37-year-old head coach\u2019s job could possibly be on the line at the Light Blues and he needs to regain some faith from a section of the fanbase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rangers back in for James Penrice
