Danny Rohl will be making decisions on the futures of a number of Rangers players this summer.

The Light Blues finished in an unacceptable third place this past season, exposing clear issues in their squad.

To address that, they have moved quickly to bring in Lawrence Shankland from Hearts, but work needs to be done with the outgoings as well.

Should Lawrence Shankland be named the Rangers captain?

Colin Hendry believes he deserves the armband right away…

Danilo will be allowed to leave Rangers

According to the Rangers Review, Danilo has no future at the club and will be allowed to leave this summer.

After signing Shankland, the Brazilian striker has fallen further in Rohl’s pecking order at Ibrox.

Danilo spent this past season out on loan at NEC, but did little to convince the club to secure his services permanently.

They have opted against exercising the option to buy him, meaning that he will be returning to Glasgow.

However, with Bojan Miovski also being ahead of him in the pecking order, a permanent exit is on the cards this summer for the former Feyenoord striker.

The 27-year-old still has two years left on his Rangers contract, which means the club can command a decent fee from his sale in the coming weeks.

Which of these strikers are Rangers expected to sell?

Lawrence Shankland's arrival will surely change things!

Why cashing in on Danilo is the right thing to do this summer

With Rangers signing four strikers over the last 12 months, Danilo is Rohl’s fifth-choice forward at best.

The Brazilian’s Ibrox career has not taken off quite as he thought that it would following his £6m move from Feyenoord a few seasons ago.

Even on loan, he has failed to impress, and his stock has only fallen since last summer.

Who is the worst-ever Rangers manager? 🤔

We think it cannot be anyone else except Russell Martin!

Danilo had ample chances to prove his worth in Glasgow, but he faced numerous fitness issues that seriously jeopardised his impact on the field of play.

Scoring 16 goals in 76 appearances is not a good return at all and if he’s unable to find the back of the net regularly and stay fit, it makes no sense to keep him at the club.

He is also on relatively high wages, so offloading him this summer will be the sensible thing to do.
