Rangers consider permanent deal for James Penrice after strong performances
Summary

Rangers are evaluating the option to sign James Penrice permanently from AEK Athens for a low six-figure fee. The defender joined on loan and made an immediate impact, scoring and assisting in his debut against St Mirren, as well as contributing to a 3-0 victory over Celtic. Penrice's performances are particularly crucial as Tuur Rommens is sidelined due to injury, leaving Rangers seeking reliable options at left-back. The club has until next summer to decide on the option, which allows for further assessment of Penrice's contributions.
