Rangers are believed to be in serious transfer talks over the signing of a “number” of players this summer, according to a new transfer update.
The guards passed on the rumours
The Gers have been linked with a number of new players recently, with Philippe Clement looking set to have a strong transfer window in the summer, following hopes of a Scottish Premiership title.
Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland emerged as the best option for Rangers at the end of the campaign, following a fine season which saw him top scorer in the league, netting 21 goals in total. Meanwhile, Gers legend Ally McCoist has fully endorsed the signing of Aberdeen star Bojan Miovski, saying: “I think he's an Aberdeen boy [Bojan Miovski] it was a different class and, very good”.
Meanwhile, Dons midfielder Connor Barron is of interest to Rangers, with the Scottish giants likely to see the 21-year-old as a possible partner for Mohamed Diomande in the middle of the park. There is also hope that Abdallah Sima's loan move to Brighton could become permanent in the summer, too, with the Gers reportedly “in a serious position” to keep him permanently.
Rangers could sign “a number” of players as negotiations continue
Taken from the minutes of the CEO Fans' Forum [via Glasgow World]Director of football Creag Robertson said Rangers are looking to sign “a number” of players this summer, with “good talks” already taking place, serving as a boost to Clement:
“Regarding the recruitment of players, we are busy in the market at the moment. The important areas in the Football Board are to plan the succession of players, contracts of players and the recruitment of players. There are discussions of employment every day. When Nils came in, he analyzed the department and we changed the structure and the process, so we are in a strong place as we built towards the summer.
“A lot of good and active discussions are going on. I can't give any more details at the moment. We would like to bring the players in early, so that the pre-season starts, although the Euros may delay the market a bit. Our aim is to be at the forefront and bring players in early, but we will need to stay active in the market.”
The update will warm the hearts of Rangers fans, who will no doubt be keen to ensure this season is not a one-off, allowing Celtic to make another surprise exit in years to come.
Regardless of what happens in the coming weeks, it feels like a good time is ahead with Clement in charge, with the Belgian already making a good impression, winning the Scottish League Cup and having a good chance of two more pieces of silverware. before the end of the season.

It could be their last chance to save the season.
New signings could be a priority, however, and if Rangers can bring in the likes of Barron and Shankland, for example, it could strengthen the club's backbone even more going forward.
