Rangers target Kevin van Veen to jet into Scotland

Rangers target Kevin van Veen is on his way back to Scotland to be there for the birth of his child and be with his wife, Groningen have confirmed.

The Dutchman spent two years in Scotland with Motherwell and his family is still understood to be living there.

In a recent interview with the Scottish Sun, the 32-year-old even confirmed that his agent told him that Gers want to sign him.

Van Veen’s return to Scotland amid parental leave from Groningen presents a potential boost for Rangers on multiple fronts as he’s a proven striker with prior experience in Scottish football during his time at Motherwell.

His familiarity with the league and understanding of its dynamics could provide a seamless transition, ensuring a quicker adaptation to Rangers’ style of play.

Moreover, the fact that the Dutchman has already attracted interest from Rangers indicates that there’s mutual recognition of his talent and what he could bring to the team.

With the striker expressing a potential exit from Groningen in January, Gers might seize the opportunity to capitalise on his availability.

His goal-scoring abilities and physical presence could offer additional depth to the squad, especially considering the demanding nature of domestic and European competitions.

The timing aligns well for Rangers, as they could potentially acquire a striker with experience and a point to prove, further strengthening their attacking options for the remainder of the season.
