Rangers transfers: French midfielder, English winger, Austrian keeper, Colombian striker - possible Ibrox arrivals this summer

The summer transfer window officially opens in Scotland on Friday, June 10 and Rangers fans already know the identity of one player who will formally join their club that day.

Hearts defender John Souttar’s pre-contract agreement with the Ibrox club, agreed during the January window when Rangers were unwilling to meet the Gorgie side’s asking price to advance the deal, kick-started the changes Giovanni van Bronckhorst will make to his squad ahead of the 2022-23 season.

The Rangers manager has predicted a significant turnover in personnel as he looks to build on his first six months in the job which saw him lead his team to the Europa League final and secure his first piece of silverware with the Scottish Cup final win over Hearts last weekend.

The most pressing piece of business in the in-tray of Rangers sporting director Ross Wilson is the future of the club’s out of contract players. Goalkeeper Allan McGregor, central defenders Connor Goldson and Leon Balogun and midfielder Steven Davis all come to the end of their current deals next month.

Talks are ongoing with all four. McGregor is pondering whether to hang up his gloves at the age of 40; Goldson has been strongly linked with a return to English football; Balogun has intimated his desire to extend his stay; 37-year-old Davis will continue his playing career and has been linked with Scottish Premiership duo St Mirren and Motherwell.

Rangers are also braced for interest in some of their key players who remain under contract – most notably 22-year-old defender Calvin Bassey whose exceptional form in the second half of the season has attracted the interest of a host of English Premier League clubs.
