Rangers Sporting Director Kevin Thelwell has opened up about the club's recruitment strategy.

He spoke with the Fan Advisory Board during a meeting on Wednesday.

Thelwell opened up on the acquisitions of striking duo Youssef Chermiti and Bojan Miovski, although he outlined that not all recruitment considerations could be made public.

Rangers spent £8million on Chermiti, with the deal potentially rising to £10m with add-ons.

He made his debut last weekend in a 2-0 defeat to Heart of Midlothian, with Miovski failing to score in his first two appearances for the club.

"KT [Kevin Thelwell] acknowledged the questions but explained that not all recruitment considerations could be made public," meeting minutes read.

"They outlined the rationale behind some recent signings. For example, Miovski was seen as a sensible acquisition given his prior success, age profile, and leadership qualities, while Chermiti represented a higher risk-reward signing with the potential to deliver both on the pitch and in future transfer value.

"The strategy is to balance players capable of contributing immediately with younger talents who could grow into the role and generate long-term value for the club, which could be reinvested back into strengthening the squad in the future."
