Glasgow Rangers suffered yet another Champions League meltdown on Wednesday evening. Liverpool emerged from Ibrox with three points and a 7-1 victory that leaves the Ibrox side pointless at the bottom of Group A.

Much has been made about weaknesses in certain positions and the fact that Giovanni van Bronckhorst hasn’t significantly improved the starting XI, however, the problem appears to be more mentality based, especially in the elite of the Champions League.

The Light Blues missed out on a few targets in the summer transfer window, however, it was a player they were linked with back in January that might have improved the team…

Francis Amuzu would have been an excellent signing

Back in December last year, Rangers were linked with Amuzu ahead of the January transfer window, with Van Bronckhorst keen to bolster his squad.

Unfortunately, a move didn’t materialise as the Dutchman had to persist for the rest of the campaign with Scott Wright on the right wing, and with no real backup to the 25-year-old, many were played out of position.

Wright netted seven times in 37 matches last season, but aside from that, his input was marginal at best, receiving a SofaScore rating of 6.96.

Amuzu scored nine goals alone in the Jupiler Pro League for Anderlecht last season, chipping in with three assists to prove that he could shine at the highest level.

The 23-year-old, although primarily a midfielder, can operate on either wing, and this versatility would have been perfect for Van Bronckhorst last season.

Although born in Ghana, Amuzu represents Belgium at youth level, winning 14 caps for the U21 side, scoring twice.

After 18 matches in all competitions this season, the player has five goal contributions already, four more than Wright, and the decision to not bring him to Ibrox is looking like it's coming back to haunt the manager.

Amuzu was dubbed a “baller” by the NXGN Twitter account, which focuses on up-and-coming talent throughout the world of football, and it's clear that he will move on from Anderlecht.

It looks like the Ibrox side have missed their chance when it comes to bringing the 23-year-old to Glasgow, as bigger clubs will soon be sniffing around the player before long.
