JUST IN: The eight Rangers players who may depart Ibrox following the transfer warning from Nils Koppen

The eight Rangers players who may depart Ibrox following the transfer warning from Nils Koppen

Nils Koppen has provided an Ibrox reality check as Rangers supporters get ready for

what may be another busy transfer window.

Despite the fact that Rangers are anticipated to be busy this winter and that

John Gilligan has pledged transfer monies,

Koppen recently revealed some unpleasant information to the team during an interview.

 

It’s all well and good to bring players to Ibrox, but when the January transfer window opens,

Rangers might very well lose some of their best players.

 

So, which players do Gers fans think will be leaving come winter,

given that the Rangers are frantically attempting to salvage their struggling

player trading model?

Rangers players could depart, according to Nils Koppen.
Let’s start by examining Nils Koppen’s comments regarding the Rangers’

January transfer activity.

In an interview with RangersTV, Koppen states that the team has already determined

which areas the Gers need to strengthen.

This is in reference to the upcoming window.

However, the Rangers director of recruitment maintains that there is a real

“possibility” that players “will leave the club” and that the team must be

“ready to replace” anyone who departs.

“We met with the manager and the football board, the board members,

last weekend to decide on the plan for (the January window),”

stated Koppen.

“I believe we’ve recognized the positions where we now lack strength and are

understaffed.

Perhaps we need to add a little more quality, but we are aware of it.

These days, the focus is on discussing the budgets we can allocate for that,

listing on the market,

and getting ready for that window.

However, there’s also a chance that players will leave the team,

so we need to be prepared to step in for them when needed.

We’re working on that once more.

“The recruitment team is currently working to identify these positions

after the first step was completed.”

Transfer negotiations revolve around eight Rangers talents.
Thus, there are a few key points to remember from this section of the Nils Koppen interview.

First, and maybe most excitingly, the Rangers have already determined who they want to

sign in January and are working hard to bolster the roster.

This confirms the expectation that January will be active, which is a comforting thought for fans

who are aware that the team is still undergoing reconstruction.

However, the remarks also imply that a number of Rangers players may depart the team in the

January transfer window due to interest from other teams.

Which begs the question, who?

Rangers supporters will focus on James Tavernier, the team captain, who has endured a

great deal of criticism and scrutiny thus far this season.

Even if we’re not persuaded the Ibrox captain will depart this season, Tavernier is likely to

be subject to exit connections again in winter because to his strong ties to Turkey.

Jack Butland, a goalkeeper for Rangers who was once in the Premier League and a target for

Nottingham Forest in January,

is another player who is frequently connected to other teams.

Although Ridvan Yilmaz has no problem sending players on loan to Turkey,

the frequently injured left defender is making a valiant effort to get healthy and

back into Rangers’ lineup.

Cyriel Dessers has also been the focus of almost regular rumors about his future in recent months.

He is firmly connected to leaving Ibrox this summer.

Regarding developing talent, the club regards Brazilian left-back Jefte highly and he has

impressed since signing this summer.

Mohamed Diomande, an Ivorian midfielder, is another important player who will probably

get attention from throughout British and European football.

After joining the Rangers from Sassuolo, Nedim Bajrami is hardly a regular in the lineup,

but he is another Albanian international who may be useful.

Although January may be too soon for the striker, Hamza Igamane, who has

shown glimpses of brilliance at Ibrox,

has also been targeted for big things and a large transfer fee in the future.
