CHEAP and tearful – 游骑兵’ Europa Cup final XI was one of the bargain teams of the season.

Winger Ryan Kent’s £6.1million fee made up more than HALF the total £11.5m cost of Gers’ nearly men – with FIVE free transfers.

游骑兵’ most feted player, Aaron Ramsey, missed the decisive spot-kick in an agonising 5-4 shootout loss to Eintracht Frankfurt following a 1-1 画.

But the Wales midfielder, on loan from 尤文图斯, was just a late sub, as Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s bargain battlers matched the Germans.

Apart from ex-利物浦 winger Kent, Rangers paid seven-figure sums for just two of their starters.

Central defender Connor Goldsun cost £2.9m from 布赖顿.

And Croatia left-back Borna Barisic was a £2.1m arrival from Osijek.

Both 29, they each moved to Ibrox four years ago amid previous manager Steven Gerrard’s surge to Scottish Premiership glory.

But it was one of the fearless, fee-less recruits who perhaps impressed the pundits most last night.

莱斯特 academy product Calvin Bassey dazzled so brightly at the back that Scotland legend Ally McCoist reckons he’s good enough for ANYONE.

Ex-Rangers legend McCoist told talkSPORT: “What a performance.

“He was absolutely frightening – he’s walking in anywhere on that performance.”

Keeper Allan McGregor, 40 typified the Gers’ hunger to win their first European silverware since landing the European Cup Winners’ 杯子 50 几年前.

He returned to Ibrox from Hull on a free in 2018 after enjoying arguably his peak years with Rangers from 2001-2012.

Gers’ other free-transfer starters were all in midfield.

Ex-Charlton starlet Joe Aribo arrived three years ago, Scot Ryan Jack came from Aberdeen in 2017 and Liverpudlian John Lundstram joined from Sheffield United last summer.

It means the middle is a real cut-price zone for Rangers.

That’s because the fourth member of their central quartet, Finland’s Glen Kamara, cost only £47,000 from Dundee.

Right-back James Tavernier has been one of Rangers’ top performers in the past six years.

And they ‘stole’ him from Wigan for £212,00.

You can’t put a price on such skilled bargain-hunting.
