Rangers were busy during the transfer window, with multiple comings and goings from Ibrox.
One man who couldn’t secure a deal, though, was Stefan Marinovic. Yet, Football Insider report that he could be about to move to an English Championship club.

In late January, Steven Gerrard confirmed to Sky Sports, that the goalkeeper was trialling with Rangers.
However,
nothing more was ever said about the 27-year-old.
It seems he didn’t quite impress enough to earn a contract, and the Gers must have been content just to add Andy Firth to their roster.

All is not lost though, as the
Football Insider report claims he’s on his way to train with Bristol City.

Marinovic’s club pedigree isn’t all that impressive. Most recently, he played for Vancouver Whitecaps, before his contract expired at the end of last year.
However, he is an established international, with 24 caps for New Zealand.
He might not have done enough to get a chance at Ibrox, but a month later, another door may just have opened.
