According to Chris Jack, Rangers made £1.58 million less on the transfers of Antonio Colak and Fashion Sakala than was previously announced.
The reputable Scottish football journalist was writing as part of the Rangers Review’s comprehensive insight into the Ibrox club’s summer transfer window.
And Chris Jack explains in it that the transfers of both Antonio Colak and Fashion Sakala are significantly lower than the figures that were floating around at the time.
According to earlier reports, Antonio Colak’s move to Serie B side Parma was valued roughly £2.85 million to the Ibrox club’s transfer coffers.
This would imply a profit of over £800,000 on the Croatian striker, with Rangers’ new number 9 struggling to replace Colak’s 18 goals.

According to The Sun, former Chelsea and Brighton manager Graham Potter has been selected as a potential Michael Beale replacement at Rangers.
The newspaper stated online (9 September) that the out-of-work manager could be considered for the Ibrox dugout, as pressure mounts on Beale following recent dismal results.
According to David Ornstein (7 September), the Englishman just turned down the Lyon post, with Laurent Blanc’s club languishing bottom of Ligue 1 with a single point, but he is still on Rangers’ radar.
Both Potter and Rangers are taking a risk with this transfer.
It would take a courageous man to take over Rangers from Beale at this point in the season. Beale’s high hopes for Champions League qualification and title challenge have already been dashed.
Potter, on the other hand, is attempting to relaunch his own career. According to Jamie O’Hara on talkSPORT in October, he lay the groundwork for the now-Europe-qualifying Brighton team, and he did a “unbelievable job” there. However, an unlucky stint as Todd Boehly’s first management appointment at Chelsea put the once-fashionable Potter out of work.
He does, however, have enough clout to land the Rangers post if one is offered to him. His recent rejection of Lyon, on the other hand, suggests he is not starving for employment and will only take on a project if he believes he can handle it.
While Lyon’s problems are far greater than Rangers’, the pressure and expectation may not be appealing to Potter, who may prefer a lower-pressure position.
For the time being.
