RANGERS CONFIRM THEIR 12TH SIGNING!
Rangers have confirmed their twelfth signing of a busy summer window, extending what has already been one of the most active rebuilding jobs seen at Ibrox in years. Derek McInnes, who took charge after Danny Röhl’s surprise switch to Red Bull Salzburg, has now overseen a near-total reshaping of the squad in just a few short months, and this latest addition continues the theme of smart, purposeful recruitment rather than marquee, big-money statements.
The summer began with Lawrence Shankland’s arrival from Hearts, and from there the dominoes kept falling. Dan Neil joined on a free transfer after his Sunderland contract expired, Ross McCrorie completed a homecoming from Bristol City, and Ivor Pandur arrived to challenge for the goalkeeping jersey. Ben Godfrey added Premier League experience on loan, while Vanja Dragojevic brought promising defensive midfield quality from Partizan Belgrade. Cammy Devlin, James Penrice and Kosta Nedeljkovic have all followed, each filling a specific gap identified by the new manager.
What stands out about this window is the clear plan behind it. Rather than chasing headline names, McInnes and the recruitment team have prioritised players who fit a homegrown, hard-working identity, while balancing the books with departures including John Souttar, James Tavernier and Jack Butland. That discipline has allowed the club to keep adding depth without losing control of the wage bill.
With pre-season form still being assessed and a Scottish Premiership title race to prepare for, this twelfth signing is unlikely to be the last. Supporters will hope the accumulation of smart, incremental additions adds up to something greater than the sum of its parts once the season gets fully underway. For now, Ibrox has plenty of fresh faces to get excited about, and the transfer business shows no signs of slowing down before the window closes.
