The Ibrox side spent big during the days of David Murray and agreed a fee with a lethal striker before the move collapsed
Rangers fans’ patience is wearing thin with current first choice striker Cyriel Dessers – with the final straw for many who still have faith in him finally snapping after another below-par display against St Johnstone on Sunday.
And how the light blue legions could do with a frontman in his prime they once came close to signing for the kind of cash that they can only dream about just now. During the lavish spending days of Sir David Murray’s tenure when Dick Advocaat was in charge, Rangers were on the brink of signing Spaniard Raul Tamudo.
Tamudo went on to become a legend – and he played in Glasgow seven years later when his side lost the UEFA Cup final to Sevilla at Hampden in an all-Spanish affair – at the Barcelona-based club with almost 400 appearances over 13 years but it could have been cut short had he joined Rangers.
Rangers went on to sign Tore Andre Flo for £12m which remains a Scottish football record but the Norwegian flopped before moving to Sunderland.
