Rangers' summer brought 7 new signings, three of them central midfielders, while 11 departures left the squad with a mix of experience and youth. Existing midfielders like Devlin and Nicolas Raskin provide a blend of defensive solidity and attacking flair, but the club still feels uncertain about depth. Raskin, a Belgium international who impressed at the World Cup, is tipped for a move to a top‑five league, prompting Mc Innes to secure Devlin on a free and add defensive options such as Dan Neil and Vanja Dragojevic.

The squad already includes Scotland cap Connor Barron and Tochi Chukwuani, who are settling in after their January arrivals. Meanwhile, links remain to Sturm Graz midfielder Ryan Fosso, and the club has reportedly rejected offers for Jens Hjerto‑Dahl. Former Rangers player Andy Halliday has criticised the lack of creative midfielders, urging the manager to bring in new talent.

With the squad anchored by Devlin, Diomande, and Aasgaard in pre‑season play, the challenge remains to find midfielders who can dictate games and spark the team's creativity.
