Rangers Need Two Strikers for NPFL Title Defence and CAF Champions League — Ilechukwu

Rangers Need Two Strikers for NPFL Title Defence and CAF Champions League — Ilechukwu

Rangers International coach Fidelis Ilechukwu says the reigning NPFL champions need to sign two more strikers before the new season begins. Speaking after Rangers’ 1-0 pre-season win over Warri Wolves in Asaba, Ilechukwu said the club is still assessing several new players and is not yet fully prepared for its title defence. Rangers will also represent Nigeria in the 2026/27 CAF Champions League alongside Rivers United. Ilechukwu said the team’s first continental target is to break its recent preliminary-round setbacks and reach the group stage.

Which qualities should Rangers prioritise in the two strikers: proven NPFL finishing, Champions League experience, or players who can grow into the role?

A 1-0 pre-season win is encouraging, but the coach still assessing players shows Rangers know title defence needs more than one result.

Do you think adding two strikers alone will be enough for Rangers to manage both competitions?

Two new strikers may help, but recruitment alone will not guarantee another title if the team does not create enough clear chances.

Rangers should settle the striker signings early, then use the remaining pre-season matches to build understanding with the midfield and wide players.
