Rangers have left it late but have at least started deadline day with a bit of a flurry as Philippe Clement finally gets the support that he needs.
Nothing has been announced just yet as the manager looks to reinforce his squad, however, Jan Schoppen being in talks over a loan to buy move from the Bundesliga is an exciting link.
Another one, is Neraysho Kasanwirjo on his way to seal a switch to Ibrox and sign for Rangers.
Neraysho Kasanwirjo touches down to sign for Rangers
Not only has there been an update on his journey to Glasgow, but Transfermarkt have also reported the potential transfer for the 6ft defender.
Dutch media outlet 1908 has been on Flight Radar and claim that Kasanwirjo has touched down in Glasgow.
The 22-year old Netherlands Under-21 international could well be the first signing of the day with Rangers in the process of working on other deals.
The Feyenoord defender is currently Transfermarkt’s most viewed player on their website.
Rangers fans will be all over this of course, but you just know that those across the city have also been checking out Philippe Clement’s potential new recruit.
Kasanwirjo set to replace Ben Davies
Kasanwirjo is set to be the man who replaces Ben Davies who has signed on loan for Birmingham City.
The one in, one out policy has hamstrung the Gers boss all summer and when asked about the frustration of trying to rebuild a squad under such constraints, he said:
“That’s the reality,” he confessed when asked about new signings.
“That’s the reality that the board told me a few months ago. I know this, the recruitment team knows this also.
“This is the reality of the club. I had other expectations when I came in in October, I have to say. But I know the reality now. I am very motivated to build the club and help in that.”
The greatest frustration will have come from not being able to move players out.
Clement spoke a few times about having talked to targets and players agreeing to come to Rangers but that nothing could be done without clearing space first.
It is, theoretically, the first phase of the player trading model that has been reset and designed to see Rangers end the window with a squad that is more resilient, more dynamic and with a view to both the short and long term.
Kasanwirjo ticks all the boxes needed to strengthen the first-team immediately but also to make money for the club in the future too.
All that Rangers need to do now is make sure he doesn’t get injured before he puts pen to paper.
