Glasgow Rangers are just a matter of days away from kicking off their 2024/25 campaign in the Scottish Premiership as they travel away from Ibrox to take on Hearts on Saturday.
The Light Blues capped off a slightly concerning pre-season schedule with a 4-4 draw against German side Union Berlin, which was the only match they did not lose.
Philippe Clement’s side lost to Ajax, Manchester United, and Birmingham before that draw with Union, and they conceded ten goals across those four matches.
There is no need to panic yet, though, as there is still a month or so left before the summer transfer window officially slams shut, which means that the Gers could yet make further additions to the squad.

Head of recruitment Nils Koppen has already swooped for Jefte, Connor Barron, Hamza Igamane, Vaclav Cerny, Liam Kelly, Mohammed Diomande, Oscar Cortes, and Clinton Nsiala.
The Gers are reportedly looking to make more signings to add quality to the group, as Rangers attempt to end a run of three seasons without winning the Premiership title ahead of their local rivals.
Rangers interested in Premier League starlet
According to TEAMtalk, the Scottish giants have identified Manchester United central midfielder Hannibal Mejbri as a target to come in and bolster their options in the middle of the park.
The report claims that the two teams are in talks over a potential deal to take the Tunisia international to Ibrox before the end of the summer transfer window.
It states that the Gers are keen to sign the young midfield whiz on a season-long loan with the option to make it permanent at the end of the 2024/25 campaign.
However, the outlet adds that Manchester United would like to cash in on him permanently this summer, rather than sanctioning an initial loan and running the risk of him returning to Old Trafford next year.
Krafth-Hannibal
The report claims that talks between the two clubs have been ‘positive’ but it remains to be seen whether or not the Light Blues can get a deal over the line for the Red Devils youngster.
TEAMtalk also reveals that the Premier League giants, managed by Erik ten Hag, are looking for a fee of £7m to part ways with the midfielder on a permanent basis, but the Gers are ‘unlikely’ to go that high.
It suggests that both teams will need to find a compromise in order for a deal to be agreed over the coming days or weeks and this is one Rangers should be working hard to get done, as he could be an exciting partner for Barron in midfield.
What Connor Barron could bring to Rangers
The Gers swooped to sign the 21-year-old ace from Premiership rivals Aberdeen after his contract expired at the end of May and he appears to be a promising addition to the group.
Barron is a proven Premiership performer who can step into the squad and make an immediate impact on the pitch, due to his experience in the division last season with his former club.
He is an energetic and combative midfield ace who looks to buzz around the pitch to win possession back for his side by breaking up opposition attacks.
