Rangers transfer bulletin as Borna Barisic 'interest' resurfaces while Steven Gerrard offered Cameron Archer advice

It's already been a busy summer for Rangers boss Gio van Bronckhorst but the business doesn't look to be over yet with the league season just 24 hours away.

Ben Davies, Ridvan Yilmaz, Rabbi Matondo, Antonio Colak, Tom Lawrence, John Souttar and Malik Tillman have all arrived at Ibrox with the Dutchman setting his sights on the Scottish Premiership title before the opening day clash with Livingston. The Light Blues boss and sporting director Ross Wilson could also be looking to cut their cloth with Nikola Katic and Jack Simpson facing uncertain futures, but links touting Borna Barisic with a move away from Glasgow have also emerged.

The Croatian international impressed on Rangers route to the Europa League final last season as he recaptured his best form under Van Bronckhorst, and has been a key part of the pre-season plans. The 29-year-old faces a fight for a starting spot at left-back this season following the arrival of Turkey cap Ridvan Yilmaz from Besiktas, which has reportedly put Trabzonspor on red alert.

Reports earlier this summer had suggested that the Turkish champions held an "official meeting" with Rangers over a potential move away from the Scottish Premiership. Fotomac report that the club have put Barisic back on "the agenda" as the club ramp up their preparation for the Champions League.

In terms of arrivals, the chances of landing a loan move for Cameron Archer could be fading. The 19-year-old produced several eye-catching displays last season while with Preston and has impressed during pre-season with Aston Villa.

Deepdale boss Ryan Lowe had been looking to bring the England youth cap back to the English Championship this summer, and has held talks with Steven Gerrard over the prospect of a move.
