Couhaib Driouech to Rangers transfer hijacked by Celta Vigo as PSV exit fast tracked The Light Blues saw an offer turfed out by the Dutch giants earlier this week Celta Vigo are confident of beating Rangers to the signing of Couhaib Driouech. The Light Blues had an opening bid for the PSV Eindhoven attacker turned down earlier this week. The La Liga outfit are also at the table. Celta Vigo are set to make a counter offer. Dutch sources believe a deal can be closed quickly for the 24-year-old. PSV is already hunting for his replacement and is looking to sign a player in from Austria. Eindhoven officials also know that Driouech would favour a move to Spain over Scotland. The Moroccan under-23 cap hasn’t closed the door on Rangers, but La Liga would be his preference. Rangers boss Derek McInnes, speaking after his side’s Europa League defeat to Jagiellona Bialystok, admitted his side were still in the market for several targets. Frosinone winger Fares Ghedjemis has been a target for both Rangers and Celtic. Coventry City’s Jahnoah Markelo is another who has been on the Ibrox radar. McInnes said: “We’re currently looking at several wide players. “These talks and conversations are on-going. “I don’t really want to be too specific on any one player but a few reports recently have been accurate and we’re keen to just bring the best we can. “Obviously the owner, Andrew Cavenagh has been really supportive. “We want to try and be as ambitious as we can. “In certain areas of the pitch we want to make sure we try and bring as good a quality as we can. “We just need to see how this all lands for us with several targets.” Get more Daily Record exclusives by signing up for free to Google’s preferred sources.
