Rangers' Driouech deal in jeopardy after medical issue
Rangers' Driouech deal in jeopardy after medical issue

Rangers' move for PSV star Couhaib Driouech is in danger of collapsing after the winger's medical uncovered an issue.

Ibrox chiefs had lined up a £7million deal for the Moroccan winger as they sought to fulfil boss Derek McInnes' demand for fresh attacking talent. The 24-year-old even travelled to Glasgow to take in Rangers' Europa League clash with Jagiellonia Bialystok last night.

Medical reveals injury concern

Record Sport understands that Driouech is currently carrying a slight injury. While the issue is not major, Rangers bosses are concerned it would keep him out for a key period of time. With McInnes desperate for someone who can make an impact now, the club are preparing to look elsewhere.

Fresh blow for McInnes

The news will come as another bitter blow for luckless McInnes and the frustrated Rangers fanbase. They have already seen their side crash out of the Europa League following a 3-2 aggregate defeat to the Poles, having fallen five points behind Celtic only two games into the new Premiership season.

To make matters worse, star striker Youssef Chermiti has been ruled out for the season while McInnes faces a defensive crisis following injuries to Ben Godfrey and Tuur Rommens. The arrival of former Hearts full-back James Penrice from AEK Athens today should help on that front, but the Driouech development is a headache McInnes can do without.
