Dan Plumley has insisted that Rangers have taken advantage of the Brazilian transfer window still being open to sign off on an exit for Jose Cifuentes

With successful business being done at Ibrox, the football finance specialist acknowledged that there is no reason why Rangers shouldn’t take advantage of the chance.

Cifuentes is scheduled to undergo a medical examination in the coming days and join Cruzeiro on a one-year loan with a buyout option. The window for him to join is open until March 7.

He said exclusively to Ibrox News, “Why not take that opportunity if you have it?”

“You can examine this by looking at this specific example involving Rangers and the Brazilian market, as well as the Saudi market and how the European market functions marginally differently from the Scottish and Premier League windows.

“Why not take advantage of that opportunity if it is presented to you?”Obviously, it has to work out well for everyone involved, but it creates a chance that other clubs don’t have, so if you can take advantage of it and make a profit that way, it’s smart business to be able to do that when necessary.”

Philippe Clement arrives at Ibrox happy.
Philippe Clement undoubtedly made Cifuentes’ departure easier by spending most of his money on Mohamed Diomande following an effective February window at Ibrox.

People might have been scratching their heads when the window slammed shut in February with no movement, but Rangers have exploited other nations to get rid of some dead wood.

Once more, Rangers’ business decisions put them ahead of the competition.
