The Ibrox side spent big during the days of David Murray and agreed a fee with a lethal striker before the move collapsed
Rangers fans’ patience is wearing thin with current first choice striker Cyriel Dessers – with the final straw for many who still have faith in him finally snapping after another below-par display against St Johnstone on Sunday.
But having had their fingers burnt when it came to splashing out on injury-prone players – the late defender Daniel Prodan to name just one – the Ibrox club were ultra-cautious when it came to signing big cheques. John Hartson famously failed a medial only to head across the other side of the city where he became a goalscoring hero for Celtic.
Tamudo went on to become a legend - and he played in Glasgow seven years later when his side lost the UEFA Cup final to Sevilla at Hampden in an all-Spanish affair - at the Barcelona-based club with almost 400 appearances over 13 years but it could have been cut short had he joined Rangers.
