PSV winger Driouech at Ibrox before expected Rangers move
PSV Eindhoven winger Couhaib Driouech is at Ibrox to watch Rangers face Jagiellonia Bialystok pending a transfer to the Scottish Premiership club.
Rangers have abandoned talks to sign PSV winger Couhaib Driouech, citing the player's injury and the Dutch club's surprise at the decision. The 24-year-old Moroccan was in Glasgow to watch Rangers' 1-1 draw with Jagiellonia Bialystok, who advanced to the Europa League play-offs with a 3-2 aggregate win. Driouech will now return to his former club PSV Eindhoven while Rangers focus on securing new players who can immediately contribute to their campaign.
Rangers manager Derek McInnes had expressed interest in adding creative wingers to his squad, with Driouech scoring nine goals and providing eight assists last season. Although often used as a substitute, he has started only once in PSV's eight Champions League matches and sat on the bench 24 times in Eredivisie. Rangers manager McInnes, whose start at Ibrox has been disappointing, continues to search for new talent, having already signed nine players this summer and expecting to sign three to five more. Midfielder Mohamed Diomande has already been sold to Turkish side Corum.
