Ridvan Yilmaz to Rangers 'announced soon' as Gio van Bronckhorst makes last transfer admission

Giovanni van Bronckhorst admits he expects Ridvan Yilmaz to be announced as a Rangers player soon, and that his arrival could be the last of the transfer window.

The Gers have been in talks over the Turkish international left back in recent days and he was filmed saying an emotional farewell to his Besiktas teammates ahead of making the move to Ibrox.

Fashion Sakala has also been linked with moves to France, but he seems set on sticking around.

And Van Bronckhorst said: “It's well stated in the press about him. I won't lie, we hope we add a new player in the coming days, and we finish with the window if no-one goes. The player coming in is young and hopefully a player we can develop the same way as Calvin (Bassey) who is a good example, and Nathan Patterson (too).”

The England captain was in ruthless form as he turned the pre-season friendly around for Tottenham in front of a packed Ibrox crowd. Antonio Colak had put Rangers in front as the Croat netted his
