Ibrox Latest: Rangers target agrees to join Premiership rivals, will play against Gers next term

When his contract expires in the summer, the player Rangers expressed interest in during the January transfer

the growing list of left-backs who were once on Rangers’ radar but eventually moved elsewhere or saw a potential

move to Glasgow fall through.

In the winter, Liverpool turned down The Gers’ approach for Owen Beck and sent him back to Dundee. Fredrik

Oppegard and Anass Salah-Eddine stayed in the Eredivisie. Meanwhile, a deal for Jefte Vital of Fluminense fell

through because APOEL Nicosia was unwilling to end his loan tenure midway through

the Cypriot campaign. Gijs Smal is joining Feyenoord.

When summertime arrives, Rangers are anticipated to continue where they left off with Vital.

But now that Hearts have agreed arrangements to transfer the out-of-contract Livingston defender to Tynecastle, any

plans they may have had to do the same regarding James Penrice may be set aside.

Penrice declined to sign new terms with David Martindale’s team and instead signed to terms with Steven Naismith’s

team, according to the Edinburgh News. Yan Dhanda of Ross County is also being signed by Heart

of Midlothian to a comparable contract.

Hearts are third, and will play European football in 2024/24.

A few months ago, Martindale, unsurprised by the rumors surrounding one of his star players, stated, “I think James

is going to have a few options in the summer.”

Despite having a bad season, Penrice has been one of our standout players this year. In my opinion, he has choices

for the summer and may play at a much higher level.

The left-back that signs with Rangers will probably take Borna Barisic’s place. The long-serving Croatian is expected

to depart on a free transfer after Ridvan Yilmaz stole his starting spot.
