After welcoming as many as eight recent faces and a brand new supervisor on high, to say that Rangers‘ 1-1 draw towards Dundee United wasn’t precisely a dream begin for Derek McInnes can be an understatement.
The Gers entered with loads of hope about their new period, however welcomed in a flat efficiency. It is left the 49ers again on the drafting board and again out there in an try and welcome an attacking star within the type of Daisuke Yokota.
The 26-year-old winger seems destined to reach from Hannover 96 and supply McInnes with yet one more attacking reinforcement. After a formidable marketing campaign within the 2. Bundesliga final day trip, there’s each likelihood that Yokota hits the bottom working.

After a blunt opening day, the addition of Yokota ought to enhance Rangers’ frontline. The winger was concerned in 9 objectives in Germany final season, however his greatest power was his means to beat his marker – finishing 2.8 dribbles per 90.
The Gers usually benefited from that trait when Mikey Moore was on mortgage from Tottenham Hotspur final season. The younger loanee accomplished 2.12 dribbles per 90 and changing him was at all times a process that wanted finishing this summer time.
It will likely be a new-look frontline with Yokota becoming a member of Shankland, however Rangers can be hoping that the Japanese attacker provides the ultimate piece to the puzzle for McInnes.
