Rangers and Steven Gerrard have been linked with a whole host of names from around the country – and around the globe in recent months as they look to defend their 55th Scottish league title – and add a 56th.
Fashion Sakala was an early recruit, as was Nnamdi Oboforh, on pre-contract deals before the season concluded and more signings have been anticipated this summer.
Here we look at some of the names who’ve been attached to Steven Gerrard’s side across various outlets and platforms thus far as the ‘silly season’ of speculation, in-the-know and transfer talk heats up.
Some alleged targets have already fallen by the way-side but one long-term rumour has already borne fruit this summer. Could there be another?
Will there be any more among this list pitching up at Ibrox before September and the signing season ends?
9. Kyle Joseph
Both sides of the Old Firm had been linked with Wigan's young Scottish striker since late 2020 - and other big names including Tottenham and Arsenal were listed too. But Rangers talk cooled in late spring before Joseph finally moved on from the Latics last month - he joined Championship side Swansea City. Photo: Jan Kruger
10. Jonson Clarke-Harris
Prolific goalscorer Jonson Clarke-Harris was apparently watched by Rangers last season, according to his club Peterborough United - but Barry Fry has warned it would have to take a "good offer" to prise the striker from Posh. Photo: Pete Norton
11. Roko Simic
Striker Roko Simic - son of Croatian international Dario - has been dubbed the 'next Erling Haaland' in his homeland and was linked to Rangers at the tail end of last season. Former Ibrox striker Nikica Jelavic (pictured) has given the forward the stamp of approval after they both worked together at Lokomotiva Zagreb. Photo: SNS Group Alan Harvey
12. Juan Alegria
The next Alfredo Morelos is how Juan Alegria has been dubbed given his nationality, position as a striker and route through football from Colombia to Finland just like the in-demand Rangers striker did. The 18-year-old FC Honka player has been linked with a move to Ibrox for months and emulating his Copa America countryman. Photo: RAUL ARBOLEDA
