Rangers transfer latest as duo linked with exit door and rival manager talks Ibrox target
Yesterday at 04:00 PM
Rangers have little over two weeks left to get their transfer dealings done as the January window begins to click into gear.
The Ibrox side have announced their first signing of the winter window with Portuguese defender Rafael Fernandes joining the Gers on loan from Lille until at least the end of the season.
But there's plenty of other big talking points at Ibrox as Philippe Clement, Nils Koppen and the Rangers board look to manoeuvre more players in and out of Govan.
Cyriel Dessers on way out of Rangers?
Rangers fans are conflicted on the future of Cyriel Dessers and it turns out so is Ibrox manager Philippe Clement.
No sooner had the striker had lashed in a Scottish Cup hat-trick v Fraserburgh was Clement admitting Dessers could be on his way out of Ibrox.
If the Nigerian international striker, 30, is to leave then Rangers will need to replace him and it remains unclear if such manoeuvring is possible this January.
There has been high-profile reported interest from clubs in France, Italy and now Spain.
Tom Lawrence to join Ibrox exodus?
Nils Koppen has been tasked with cutting Rangers' sizeable wage bill and whilst £6m has been slashed, there's still plenty of work to be done.
Rangers are paying the price of hefty legacy contract for English Championship strugglers who have been unable to produce the consistent success fans crave.
Rabbi Matondo and Kieran Dowell have been told they can leave this January with Tom Lawrence the latest name to be linked to the Ibrox exodus.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is interested in a Manchester United reunion of sorts with Tom Lawrence at Turkish side Besiktas.
Dundee manager on Lyall Cameron
As for incomings, Rangers are notoriously tight-lipped with their transfer dealings which is why deals don't tend to break until they're hours from a signature.
But one transfer pursuit has bucked the trend this January with Rangers in hot pursuit of Dundee playmaker Lyall Cameron.
The 22-year-old is out of contract in the summer and Rangers have reportedly made an approach to sign Cameron on a pre-contract this January.
Dundee manager Tony Docherty was asked about Cameron's situation and claims he has 'no concerns' about the situation as it stands.
