Here's how Rangers could line up next season – according to reports

With so many transfer reports discussing players moving in and out of Rangers, we could see a very different lineup and squad next season.
The central core of the side is very likely to remain the same, but Gerrard has continuously reiterated his intentions to add quality to the ranks [originally Rangers.co.uk].
The club has been linked with a range of players in the last few weeks. Not least Watford’s Andre Gray [the Herald], NK Osijek’s Mirko Maric [Daily Record] and Norwich’s Timm Klose [Sun on Sunday 28/4 p.59]. There is also reportedly interest in Man Utd’s Axel Tuanzebe.

Alongside that, Rangers have also been hoovering up some cut-price Scottish Premiership talent. Jordan Jones signed a pre-contract in January, the Jake Hastie deal has been officially announced and transfer reports continue around the likes of
Greg Stewart [Daily Record] and John Souttar. There have also been rumours about Motherwell’s David Turnbull [Four Lads Had a Dream].
By the same token, there’s plenty of talk about Rangers players leaving the club. Joe Worrall looks likely to return to Nottingham Forest, Alfredo Morelos’ future continues to hang in the balance, and a host of fringe players could be moved on.

Reports also suggest the futures of Borna Barisic, Eros Grezda, and Kyle Lafferty appear up in the air [originally the Herald].
Here, we look at all the names being linked to Ibrox and consider how the squad might shape up next season. We’re sure it might end up quite different – in fact I would be very surprised if it didn’t – but here’s what reports are suggesting so far nonetheless. Is this squad good enough to wrestle the title from Celtic?
