But has anyone else noticed a theme here? Steven Gerrard has talked openly about the need to add to the squad next season. Looking ahead to the trip to Motherwell, he said Rangers want quality, not quantity next year.

Rangers’ transfer strategy is becoming clear
Get quality players who can impact on this league to fill out the squad. If you can do it for a low-cost, it saves more for bigger investments in the summer.
Rangers will be working on a limited, if not decent enough budget and even the most optimistic of fans know we need a decent sized overhaul. Not so much in the entire first-team squad, but on the periphery of it.
Anywhere up to 15 players could realistically leave, so there will be a sizeable investment into the playing staff.
Sourcing the reported talented players in problem positions helps to balance this. They also represent exceptional value for money – just look at the Glen Kamara deal.
They are all good players. Most know the Scottish Premiership, where we have struggled at times this season. Others are creative additions in the middle of the pitch.
Rangers’ transfer strategy for 2019/20 is becoming clearer. The club wants quality players who can beef out the squad, get results in Scottish football and represent real value for money.
With a few high-class additions thrown in.
