Loan swap with the Dons sees utility man arrive.

Quality not quantity has been the Ibrox mantra up until now this summer but that appears to have been broken by Rangers last signing of the transfer window.

By no stretch of the imagination could Ricky Foster be described as a quality player. However, as a squad player, he could have a role in getting Rangers over the line in certain games.

In the 90s, it’s easy to recall names like Laudrup, Gascoigne or Albertz ad helping Rangers clinch title after title. A utility player like Neil Murray, youth team recruits like McSwegan or Pressley and guys that knew what Rangers is all about like John Brown all played huge roles.

It’s the squad that wins the league and Foster is another name in that squad who has top flight experience.

As a player, we don’t think Foster is very good. Much like Celtic’s signing from last season’s Aberdeen defence, it indicates the downsizing for the big two.

It can also be looked at on another way though. Swapping Velicka on loan sees Rangers free up the wages of a player unlikely to see much game time and are now paying less money to a player that should see more action.

Foster will have better players around him which can often bring improvement in a player and maybe the challenge will see Foster reach a level of consistency he has never managed before.

If Foster is rubbish, Rangers haven’t lost much and can wash their hands of him in the summer. If Foster does a job, Rangers have won a watch.

It’s not a bad position to be in…
