Rangers’ worst start to a league season for 35 years has evidenced the clear need for more squad surgery, despite an already hectic summer at Ibrox.
There’s already been a huge turnover in players after the squad was bolstered by several new signings, with new head coach Russell Martin recruiting Joe Rothwell, Lyall Cameron, Max Aarons, Thelo Aasgaard, Nasser Djiga, Emmanuel Fernandez, Djeidi Gassama, Mikey Moore and Oliver Antman, while Leon Balogun, Ianis Hagi, Tom Lawrence and Robin Pröpper have all departed for pastures new.
More work is expected in the transfer window though, with Rangers boss Martin admitting: “We’ll definitely keep looking for that and maybe an experienced body would help the guys in big moments. If you can find the right one, in that sense, great.”
Here, we take a look at 14 players who could leave Rangers this summer - and four who are expected to stay.
5. Ben Davies - COULD LEAVE
Excellent on loan to Birmingham City last season, the English centre-back has not been involved at all upon his return to Rangers. Clearly not in Russell Martin's plan, so could depart by the end of the window. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
6. Findlay Curtis - SHOULD STAY
The teenager has had a bright start to the season, impressing in the 2-0 win against Panathinaikos. It isn't beyond the realms of possibility that he depart on loan for regular minutes, but looks like he could play an important role for Rangers this season. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
7. Ridvan Yilmaz - COULD LEAVE
Has not been involved in any of Rangers' competitive matches this season, and is heavily linked with a return to Turkey. Expected to leave before the window shuts. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
