Rangers and Danny Rohl appear to have found a potential replacement for James Tavernier ahead of the summer transfer window.
Tavernier announced he’s leaving Rangers at the end of the season this week, giving the club ample time to find a replacement.
The 34-year-old has been a reliable contributor to goals and assists in recent seasons and has also been a set-piece threat.
James Tavernier is set to leave Rangers…
Will Rangers regret not retaining his services? Tell us why!
Rangers identify Denso Kasius as potential James Tavernier replacement
According to Transferfeed, AZ Alkmaar defender Denso Kasius has admirers at Rangers and a summer move could be considered.
The 23-year-old right-back has found himself on a four-man shortlist to replace the departing Gers captain.
Kasius is renowned for his crossing ability and is at his best when he is deployed as a wing-back.
Any deal for the Dutch defender is unlikely to be cheap, as his contract at the Eredivisie outfit does not run out until 2029.
Along with him, former Rangers defender Nathan Patterson has also been included in the shortlist.
Patterson is currently plying his trade at Everton, where he is struggling for regular game time.
Blackburn Rovers defender Ryan Alebiosu, as well as Hampus Skoglund of Hammarby, are on the shortlist.

We believe Hampus Skoglund is the ideal candidate. Let us know what you think!
What Danny Rohl is looking for this summer
Rohl wants someone who can contribute offensively like Tavernier did and also hold the width, as he is likely to stick to his box midfield system.
He would ideally want someone who’s good defensively too, as that has been one of the main concerns of the Light Blues’ captain’s game.
Thus far, initial checks have been carried out on various right-backs, but the recruitment team will start to delve deeper and decide on who the ideal candidate is.
Rohl would have his desired target in mind, which he would share with the hierarchy, but currently, the focus is on winning the Scottish Premiership title in the coming weeks.
