Rangers have parted ways with yet another defender this summer, with him moving to Scottish Premiership rivals Hearts.
The Light Blues have been active in the transfer window, making seven new signings ahead of the 2026/27 season.
More players are expected to arrive, but there have been more exits than incomings at Ibrox in this market.

Predict the mystery signing in the comments!
Rangers News understands that the centre-back was not offered a professional contract once his deal ran out at the end of last season.
This meant that he was considering his options, and a move to Hearts appeared to be a tempting prospect.
One source has told Rangers News that it was not a choice between the two clubs, but instead, the Light Blues’ decision to part ways with the teenager.
What is McGauley’s style of play and will Rangers regret not retaining him?
McGauley is a ball-playing defender who’s comfortable carrying the ball out of defence into midfield.
He is known for his vertical passes and fancies that over playing long balls.
The 16-year-old is known for his strong positional awareness and played an important role in the Rangers Under-17s side that won the CAS Elite U17 League title.

How much should Rangers demand for his services?
That said, the decision-makers at Ibrox probably felt that he was not developing at the same rate as some of his peers, and it was better for the club if he was allowed to leave.
There is a possibility that he develops into a talented player who, by 20 or 21, is ready to play in the Scottish Premiership.
At that time, if there is a deal to be done, Rangers can always consider bringing him back to Ibrox.
