Breaking News:Rangers ace allowed to leave with Tavernier and Goldson
Whilst many hoped that Rangers would use the summer window to strengthen Philippe Clement’s squad ahead of next season, it now looks like the Scottish Premiership runners-up will have to sell players before they can bring in fresh faces.
Rangers braced for a number of summer exits
The latest news out of Ibrox surrounds the future of some of Rangers’ biggest stars. The early passages of the window saw a number of players depart the club with both John Lundstram and Borna Barisic joining Turkish Superlig side Trabzonspor on a free transfer.
As the summer progresses, it looks like more big names will be departing Ibrox with the most recent rumours surrounding the futures of Connor Goldson and James Tavernier. The duo have been a vital part of Rangers’ recent success with the two defenders making over 750 appearances for the club during their combined Ibrox careers.
The most recent rumours have seen Goldson linked with a return to England with Birmingham City. The 31-year-old central defender grew up in nearby Wolverhampton and could be tempted back south of the border despite the Blues’ recent relegation to League One.
Whilst Goldson’s exit looks fairly straightforward, the saga around Tavernier’s future looks slightly more complex with a number of clubs interested in a deal for the fullback. A recent report by Fabrizio Romano has suggested that the 32-year-old could be set to join Lundstram and Barisic at Trabzonspor as well as previous rumours of a reunion with Steven Gerrard at Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq.
With Clement making no attempt to hide Rangers’ need to sell players this summer, it now looks like another English club are looking to take advantage of this position and sign one of the Gers’ stars before the window closes.
Sheffield Wednesday want to sign Scott Wright
As first reported by TEAMtalk, Rangers winger Scott Wright has serious interest from the Championship and appears likely to depart during the summer window alongside Tavernier and Goldson. The outlet claims that Sheffield Wednesday have held provisional talks with the 26-year-old’s agents but have yet to go as far as to submit an official bid.
