Rangers new coach Pedro Caixinha sets sights on Ghana international Rashid Sumaila as first signing

Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha has already set his sights on Rashid Sumaila as his first summer signing after joining the Scottish side on a three year deal, Scottish newspapers have reported.

The Portuguese boss who has agreed terms to replace Mark Warburton at Rangers arrived in Glasgow on Saturday to watch his new side take on Celtic on Sunday.

He will watch his new team in action from the stands at Celtic Park after Al-Ghafara gave him permission to take the vacant post with the Scottish giants.

Scottish newspaper the Daily Record claim he is wasting no time in looking to bring fresh faces to Ibrox with defender Rashid Sumaila being earmarked as his first summer arrival.

Sumaila, 24, is currently on loan at Caixinha's former club Al-Ghafara from Kuwaiti Premier League champions Al Qadsia SC.

But the Ghana international - who is Caixinha's godson - will be available on a free transfer in the summer due to having just four months left on his current deal.
