Bassey replacement
Rangers are coming off the back of an impressive season where they won the Scottish Cup and finished as the runners-up in the UEFA Europa League after losing the final against Eintracht Frankfurt.
The general sense was that the Gers will build on that success, but after losing two key players in Joe Aribo and Calvin Bassey, signings were needed to rebuild again.
