Will Ibrahim Adel exit Pyramids FC amid Rangers transfer rumours?

Both Oscar Cortes and Vaclav Cerny have arrived to add a bit of cutting edge to the Light Blues’ ranks from out wide and the latter especially has been a total revelation from his first game in a Rangers shirt.
With Scott Wright reportedly nearing the Ibrox exit door [Football Scotland, 28 August] and speculation still surrounding Rabbi Matondo’s long-term future in Glasgow, there will be space in Clement’s squad for Adel to slot into the fold.
The 23-year-old showed in the Olympics that he has the ability to perform in a European league. While teh step up to the Premiership would be a major jump, it is one that other players have managed to make in the past.
