The Rangers transfer domino effect as signing push could hinge on 3 key issues

Early days, of course, but it's been a quiet start to the transfer window at Rangers.

John Souttar has arrived from Hearts after agreeing a pre-contract back in January and retaining Connor Goldson on a long-term deal can't be underestimated in its significance.

But Giovanni van Bronckhorst will be keen to make further additions in his first summer window since replacing Steven Gerrard and the sooner the better, with crucial Champions League qualifiers coming up before the end of the summer.

As club legend Brian Laudrup pointed out this week, however, Rangers do face a more "complicated" window than rivals Celtic with players already in-house facing decisions on their futures.

And until those calls are made, with Alfredo Morelos and Allan McGregor among them, what Rangers will need this summer won't become completely clear to van Bronckhorst and sporting director Ross Wilson.

Here, Record Sport Online picks out three areas to resolve that could send the transfer dominoes tumbling.

There's little doubt Rangers fans are keen to see further striking options added to Van Bronckhorst's squad but exactly what is required could hinge on Alfredo Morelos.

The Colombian's future comes under scrutiny every transfer window and he's been linked with a list of clubs as long as Ibrox Stadium's marble staircase over the years.

It feels inevitable that speculation will restart sooner rather than later as he enters the final year of his contract - unless an agreement over an extension can be reached soon. That will involve sounding out Morelos' intentions, as they are no doubt already doing.

But where the 25-year-old sees his future will then tell the club whether they are looking for a new main man in attack or a squad option.
