Michael Beale assesses Rangers midfield and makes Jose Cifuentes call
The faces and the names in the Rangers midfield have changed. So have the roles and the responsibilities as Michael Beale has reworked his blueprint at Ibrox.
It would have been understandable if Beale had sought to gently ease the Ecuadorian into action as he settles into life in a new country and as part of a new side. That is not the case, though, and Cifuentes will be given his first start when Rangers host Livingston this afternoon. “I feel he’s a lot more settled this week. I thought he had a good cameo when he came on the other night so he will come in. He’s powerful and he can run forward from that area.
Cifuentes put pen-to-paper on a long-term deal at Ibrox after Rangers won the race for his signature and then finalised an arrangement with Los Angeles FC to sign the midfielder sooner rather than later. “It’s our home stadium and the pitch is a certain way. I’ve got no doubts he can settle in and be a strong player for us.“Jose was a really, really important signing. It was impressive the way we sat down with him and sold what we can do for him and he can do for us because there were a lot of people looking at him.”
