Rangers sent clear warning over replacing Connor Goldson

It would take Rangers “quite a bit of money” to replace defender Connor Goldson this summer, claims journalist Pete O’Rourke.

The 29-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season, meaning Rangers could very well find themselves searching for someone to succeed him in the next transfer window.

I know Ross [Wilson] is having regular conversations with all the players whose contracts are expiring in the summer and that’s something that will be addressed in the coming months.”

The above comes as a positive update, with Goldson being such an important player for Rangers over the last couple of seasons.

The £7.2m-rated centre-back has already played 40 times for the Gers this term, while he was ever-present in the club’s 2020/21 title-winning campaign.

Ultimately, Goldson is a player who manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst will not want to lose.

Fortunately for Rangers, unlike Goldson, the Nigeria international will still be under contract in the summer, with his current
