The Rangers owners appear set to continue investing in the squad in the upcoming summer transfer window as well.

In January, Danny Rohl was backed with four new signings, with the Ibrox outfit spending a total of £12m on them.

Since Andrew Cavenagh’s consortium and the 49ers Enterprises completed their takeover, £40m has been spent with the clear intentions of winning trophies.

Rangers give Danny Rohl backing ahead of next season

Danny Rohl’s future at Rangers has been up for discussion after his side’s poor performance in recent weeks.

They have failed to win games they should be winning domestically, and recently crashed out of the Scottish Cup by losing to Celtic.

However, according to the Daily Mail, Rohl seems to have the backing of the hierarchy going into next season.

While he has not delivered any silverware yet, the owners want to give him a pre-season to help develop his style of play and get the message across to the rest of the players.

It is understood that there will be a “major” recruitment drive this summer as well, with Rohl being backed with a decent amount of investment.

The Mail have claimed that the squad will be unrecognisable ahead of the new season, so a significant overhaul is expected in the coming months.

What positions will Rohl look to address this summer?

A new right-back most certainly needs to be signed in the summer transfer window.

James Tavernier could leave Rangers, while Max Aarons is expected to return to Bournemouth following his loan spell, leaving Dujon Sterling as the only senior right-back.

Sterling has also faced injury issues, so it makes sense to bring in a quality right-back.

If Nasser Djiga and Derek Cornelius are not signed permanently, Rohl is likely to demand at least a couple of new central defenders.

John Souttar has struggled of late and Emmanuel Fernandez may leave Ibrox amid interest from some of Europe’s top clubs.

They would also look to sign a couple of new wingers and potentially another attacking midfielder if Mikey Moore does not re-sign in the summer.

At least six new first-team transfers are on the cards and there could be more depending on player exits.
