There have been a flurry of strikers to arrive at Glasgow Rangers<\/a> over the past 12 months or so, with the Ibrox side still waiting to find a real standout solution in that number nine berth.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The hope will be that new man Kevin Kelsy can prove up to the task, following his \u00a39m arrival<\/a>, while Lawrence Shankland had looked to have found his groove again prior to being struck down by injury.<\/p>\n

The Gers skipper has since missed out on a first taste of life under new Scotland boss Sebastien Pocognoli, the Belgian overseeing a 0-0 draw away in Slovenia in his first game in charge.<\/p>\n

That goalless may have had little in the way of Rangers involvement, although it did provide a chance to take a closer a look at one of the players to have slipped through the net in Glasgow – Robbie Ure.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n Why Rangers will regret losing Robbie Ure<\/strong>
\n <\/h2>\n

It is an intriguing squad in terms of ‘what might have been’ for the Gers, with Scotland’s midfield pairing having been two men previously on the books at the club, in the form of Billy Gilmour and Lewis Ferguson.<\/p>\n

Josh McPake, now at Hearts, was also on the bench, while the biggest intrigue from an Ibrox point of view was centred around Ure, the 22-year-old given the nod alongside the recalled Oli McBurnie up front.<\/p>\n

Currently on the books at LaLiga side, Sevilla, Ure is no doubt aiming to be Scotland’s leading striker for the long-term, having earned his move to Spain off the back of his blistering form in Sweden.<\/p>\n

In the first-half of 2026 alone, the young marksman scored 20 times in all competitions for former club Sirius, his total record standing at 31 goals in just 50 games in Scandinavia.<\/p>\n

Now an \u00a38m man operating in one of Europe’s top five leagues, it does beg the question as to how he failed to make the grade at Ibrox, restricted to three mere cameo appearances at first-team level, scoring just once.<\/p>\n

By his own admission, Ure felt he “wasn’t good enough” to play for the club at the time, deciding to move on at the end of his contract in 2023, heading instead to Anderlecht in Belgium.<\/p>\n

It’s a decision that has certainly paid off, with the Light Blues likely to have to watch one of their own flourish elsewhere for both club and country. He’s not the only one, either.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n Why Ure isn’t the only prolific striker to have left Rangers<\/strong>
\n <\/h2>\n

As Ure’s case has shown, sometimes it perhaps takes a change of scenery for a player to find their groove, with it only really when he ended up in Sweden that the towering striker really began to start firing.<\/p>\n
