Radek Cerny 

Last season Rangers were crying out for some realistic competition for Lee Camp. Camp is a massive fans favourite but there was always the feeling that no matter what he did, you knew he was playing next week as there simply wasn’t an alternative. Cerny turned out twenty times for Spurs last season and kept Paul Robinson out of the side. Whether he is better than what we have only time will tell but I think he will start the season but end up splitting the game time with Camp. Big Part. 

Peter Ramage 

Ramage would probably consider himself a centre back by trade and has every chance of playing there when some part of Fitz Hall goes ping after three games. He lacks a bit of pace at full back but certainly showed in the pre season games that he isn’t afraid to get up and support his winger. I think I probably prefer Connolly as a player but with his injury Ramage has a chance to stake his claim and he is certainly going to be involved a hell of a lot. Big Part. 

Kaspars Gorkss 

The transfer of Gorkss turned into a longer running soap opera than Knots Landing and after all that I think there would be a few people choking on their £1.80 bottles of Coke if he wasn’t involved at all times. Like Ramage he doesn’t look the quickest but is a reader of the game and can use the ball calmly. He is also a threat at set pieces with the right delivery and it will certainly be Gorkss and Hall until the latter goes ping. Big Part. 

Matteo Alberti 

The young Italian winger certainly seems to be a talented lad. A real old fashioned wide man, he wants to get it down, run at players and deliver into the box. The issue he is going to have though is that once the likes of Buzsaky and Ephraim are fit and Rowlands returns from injury he is going to be well down the pecking order. He is likely to be behind old warhorse Ainsworth in the early reckoning so this may be a frustrating first season for Matteo. Bit Part. 

Emmanuel Jorge Ledesma 

This kid can play, make no bones about it. Whether he can play amongst the hurly burly of a Championship midfield is a question that only time will be able to answer. He has shown he has an eye for a pass, is comfortable in possession and doesn’t mind a pop at goal. You do wonder though where he is going to fit in amongst the likes of Rowlands, Buzsaky, Parejo, Cook et al when all are fit and available. He may feature early on and make a real impression but I think he will drop out when people come back. Bit Part. 

Dani Parejo 

If rumours are to be believed this young Spaniard is something else and you can’t see how he won’t play. Real Madrid aren’t going to loan him out and be happy with him sat on his backside every week so his signing may even necessitate a change to a one up front system. Like Ledesma it will be interesting to see how he copes with people wanting to kick him up in the air all day long! By all accounts he is a superb passer and deadly from set pieces so he could prove a real fans favourite. Big Part. 

Lee Cook 

If Cook is anything like the player he was before a knee injury wrecked last season for him then Rangers fans will be absolutely delighted, not to mention Dexter Blackstock! In his last spell he turned from a winger that could drift in and out of games and frustrate the crowd into a menace down the left flank who constantly delivered quality for the front men. Quality left wingers are hard to find and Cook most certainly falls into that category. Big Part. 

Samuel Di Carmine 

The thing that struck me about Di Carmine in pre season was the way he held the ball up and brought others into play. Should Rangers decide to switch to a lone striker then he looks more than capable of filling that role. He is no slouch across the turf despite being a pretty big fella. I don’t think he will be involved an awful lot as the season begins but when injuries start to kick in it could be his chance to shine. Bit Part.
