Nedim Bajrami’s Rangers career has gotten off to a slow start, with the Albanian international failing to establish himself as a regular starter at Ibrox. Despite joining the club last summer for a £3 million fee from Sassuolo, Bajrami has struggled to make an impact, managing only three goal involvements in 18 appearances this season.
Former Rangers striker Kris Boyd has been critical of Bajrami, describing his time in Glasgow as a “huge disappointment.” Boyd believes Bajrami is now playing for his future at Rangers and could get a chance to prove himself in the upcoming league match against Aberdeen. With Rangers preparing for the Europa League quarter-final second leg against Athletic Bilbao, Boyd expects interim manager Barry Ferguson to take no chances with players carrying niggles, potentially opening the door for Bajrami to make a rare start.
If Bajrami doesn’t elevate his performances, Rangers may consider selling him in the summer transfer window. The club is under financial pressure, and the 49ers Enterprises project demands a squad overhaul. Retaining an underperforming player like Bajrami could waste resources that could be better spent on stronger signings.
Bajrami’s contract runs until 2027, making his future at Ibrox uncertain. If he fails to prove his worth, selling him could fund Rangers’ rebuilding efforts, aligning with the manager’s vision to create a competitive team for domestic and European challenges. The upcoming matches will be crucial in determining Bajrami’s fate at Rangers.
