Rangers want to sign former Chelsea midfielder Marco Van Ginkel on a free transfer in a deadline-busting transfer, according to the Scottish Sun.
The Ibrox club are close to bringing in FC Twente defender Robin Propper in a deal to replace outgoing vice-captain Connor Goldson, who has joined Aris Limassol after six years in Glasgow.
But Rangers are now looking to bring in a ninth summer arrival quickly behind the centre-back to bolster their midfield options before the Champions League qualifier squad deadline on Thursday, August 1st.
Rangers move for Van Ginkel
August 1st deadline looms for deal
Philippe Clement saw John Lundstram and Ryan Jack leave the club at the end of their contracts at the end of the 2023/24 season, which saw the need for new midfielders grow at the club.
Connor Barron joined on a free transfer from Aberdeen earlier in the summer, but currently the options are slim with Nicolas Raskin picking up an ankle injury in pre-season that has seen him ruled out of the start of the season.
Now Van Ginkel, who played for Chelsea as a youngster and made 19 appearances in the top flight for the Blues and Stoke City, has emerged as a target for the Ibrox club to help add experience to the squad and bolster the side.
However, Nils Koppen faces a race against time to get a deal over the line in time for the now 31-year-old midfielder to play in the Champions League third qualifying round for the team as UEFA rules dictate that they must submit their squad for the round before the end of August 1st.
