49ers sign Rothwell and Fernandez for Rangers in a permanent deal
The new owner 49ers company is busy bolstering its GERS teams before the Champions League qualifiers against the Panathinaikos later this month.
After the pre-contracted Lyall Cameron contract became official, Max Aaron was added to an in-season loan agreement from Bournemouth last week.
Now, the Rangers are moving to sign midfielder Joe Rothwell on a permanent contract from Bournemouth, whom he’s well known since his time at Southampton.
Shortly after Rothwell, defender Emmanuel Fernandez was announced as a Rangers player and signed a four-year deal with Peterborough United’s Ibrox. Speaking after signing, Fernandez admitted that he was “shocked” by Gers’ interest.
“I’m an honor. It’s a huge club with a great fanbase and I think I can kickstart my career and have a good journey here. When I heard about Rangers, I was shocked.
However, the 49ers and Rangers do not stop there. It also appears that another defender is set up to arrive soon.
