Due to immigration problems, Rangers’ new recruit had to leave the UK quickly – Clement.
Rangers manager Philippe Clement stated that his new acquisition Robin Propper was unable to start the match against Dynamo Kiev due to visa concerns. Prior to the game, Clement stated that Propper had less time to get ready with his new teammates because he had to leave the UK quickly to pick up his visa so that paperwork could be handled.
Propper was not “fresh” enough to participate in the Champions League third-round qualifier against Dynamo, but he was nonetheless listed as one of the four new arrivals on the Gers bench. The Rangers Review cited Clement as saying that it was a difficult choice to start without Robin Propper, primarily because he wasn’t fresh at the time. “People are unaware that there is a lot of paperwork to be done when a player arrives in the UK.
“He wasn’t even fresh enough to start today because he had to travel outside the nation to return and get his visa.” Robin Propper has not yet made his eagerly awaited Rangers debut. A club in the Scottish Premiership rarely gets the chance to sign the captain of a team that placed third in the Eredivisie the previous season, but the Gers accomplished just that on August 1st when they signed Propper.
Considering that Connor Goldson, a highly skilled veteran defender, is leaving Ibrox, six-foot-three Propper’s addition might be a big improvement.
Though the 30-year-old hasn’t played in the first two games of the new season since signing, fans are eager to see him in a Light Blues uniform as soon as possible.
The Ibrox supporters are clamoring for Propper, or at least something different, especially after Ben Davies seemed lost during the Gers’ 0-0 stalemate with Hearts on the Premiership’s opening day. Propper can rapidly become familiar with Clement’s squad and playing style now that his visa concerns should be resolved. Once he secures a spot on the team, don’t expect him to relinquish it easily.
