BBC NEWS: Rangers Set to Finalise Jamie Vardy Signing in Sensational Transfer Move

Rangers are fast running out of time to upgrade their squad ahead of their 2025-26 campaign officially kicking off.

Russell Martin’s side take on Panathinaikos in a two-legged Champions League qualifier next month, with the first leg at Ibrox scheduled for 22 July.

That leaves the Gers with just three weeks to get their house in order, and the transfer speculation has certainly ramped up.

Here, Ibrox News rounds up all the big Rangers news from the past 24 hours or so.

Rangers to ‘finalise terms’ for new signing as Jamie Vardy deal lined up

Rangers are one of a number of clubs to have been linked with Leicester City legend Jamie Vardy since he announced his decision to leave the King Power Stadium.

The Mail on Sunday (29 June, page 89) reports that Rangers remain keen on signing Vardy, while they work on a deal to sign his former Leicester teammate Conor Coady at the same time.

Coady’s time at Leicester has not gone to plan and he looks set to leave in the coming weeks following the Foxes’ relegation to the Championship.

A deal for Coady certainly seems to be more advanced than one for Vardy at this stage.

Rangers and Leeds in talks already as 49ers get Ibrox deal done

Rangers and Leeds United are expected to work in unison thanks to the 49ers Enterprises connection.

Max Aarons has arrived at Ibrox this summer, and the 25-year-old previously worked with Leeds boss Daniel Farke at Norwich City.

The Herald report (29 June, page 68) that Farke wanted Aarons at Elland Road previously, but the deal was not concluded.

However Paraag Marathe made sure the deal was finalised at Ibrox, with open talks said to be taking place between Rangers and Leeds over possible transfers.
