Rangers are still targeting two defensive additions and plan to bring in two right‑wingers, but a central‑midfield move is not a priority. Sassuolo have agreed to sell Kieron Bowie to Hellas Verona for £10m, while Rangers are said to have accepted Al‑Taawoun’s bid for Nedim Bajrami.

Bologna will meet with Lewis Ferguson to negotiate his future as new head coach Domenico Tedesco wants to keep the 26‑year‑old Scotland midfielder amid interest from Rangers. Boca Juniors received a £900,000 offer from Houston Dynamo for 60 % of Marcelo Saracchi’s rights; the 27‑year‑old left‑back spent the previous season on loan at Celtic.

Dundee manager Steven Pressley admitted it was wrong to keep Aaron Donnelly at the club, even though the 23‑year‑old defender is no longer in his plans, which leaves the team short against Celtic. Former Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Forest Green Rovers manager Duncan Ferguson, who spent the summer in New York as a TV pundit at the World Cup, is ready to return to coaching.

Rangers’ search for defensive solidity has led the board to explore options across the board, with a particular focus on right‑footed wingers who can contribute both offensively and defensively. The club’s summer transfer window remains active as scouts assess potential signings.
