DONE DEAL: Rangers will likely add a fourth player after completing a double transfer deal, and crucial negotiations will secure a fifth signing.

This summer, Rangers has been active in the transfer market.

Rangers will soon conclude two transfer agreements, bringing their total number of new players to five.

Clinton Nsiala, Oscar Cortes, and Jefte have all had their signatures sealed by Philippe Clement already this summer. According to Sky Sports, Motherwell goalie Liam Kelly and Aberdeen midfielder Connor Barron will be the next to go.

Barron’s contract at Pittodrie is about to expire, and the team has made it known that he will be departing. The broadcaster claims that “Rangers are set to win the race for the 21-year-old – who played 42 times for Aberdeen last season – after talks.” Despite suggestions of English suitors and interest from Italy, the player is expected to sign with Rangers.

Due to the departures of Ryan Jack and John Lundstram this summer, the engine room still needs to fill a few positions. Barron would also help meet the UEFA minimum requirement of domestic players for UEFA events. Kelly, who rose through the Rangers’ ranks before gaining senior experience elsewhere, will likewise accomplish that.

He captains Motherwell and has been with Livingston, QPR, and Motherwell since 2021. Kelly signed a short-term contract extension with the Steelmen this summer, guaranteeing them revenue from his participation in the 2024 European Championship with Scotland.

Kelly is “expected” to arrive and is “likely to be manager Philippe Clement’s fourth signing of the summer,” according to the source. He will give Jack Butland, who has made an impression since joining the Light Blues last summer, competition in the goalie position. It remains to be seen if exits beckon.
