Rangers ready new forward transfer already in major Ibrox development
Rangers have already set their sights on a new forward at Ibrox to bolster their ranks ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
The Light Blues have the likes of Cyriel Dessers, Hamza Igamane, Danilo, Ianis Hagi and Vaclav Cerny at their disposal but are looking to strengthen the attacking department further in the coming months.
It makes sense for the Gers to have potential new signings on their radar, considering the uncertainty around Dessers’ future at Ibrox in the winter window.
Barry Ferguson also has Vaclav Cerny on loan until the end of the season, and whether a permanent transfer will be pursued remains to be seen.
Philippe Clement could not call upon Danilo for most of the season due to his consistent fitness issues, leading to an evident need for more depth up front at the Bears.
Gaoussou Diarra transfer eyed by Rangers
Istanbulspor forward Gaoussou Diarra is attracting interest from the Glaswegian outfit, according to AfricaFoot.
The news outlet reports (7 March) that the Gers have the 22-year-old on their radar after his impressive displays in Turkey’s second division.
| Appearances (2024/25) | Goals | Assists |

While the Light Blues want the Malian national, he’s being eyed by other teams in the Super Lig and Ligue 1.
Diarra is enjoying a breakout season in Istanbul, but it remains to be seen whether Rangers will be able to get a deal over the line for him.
Ibrox faces uncertain summer after Clement sack
Clement’s sack at Ibrox has led to uncertainty ahead of the summer transfer window at the Gers.
With Ferguson’s arrival on an interim basis, there’s a massive decision to be made over who the next permanent manager will be.
Andrew Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe are also in talks to take control of the Light Blues, leading to even more unanswered questions about their prospects.
After enduring a season to forget in the Scottish Premiership, the Bears must take drastic measures soon to close the gap with Celtic.
As things stand, the Hoops are 16 points ahead of their Old Firm rivals in the league table, and the Gers also find themselves out of the Scottish Cup after losing to Queen’s Park.
There may be several outgoings at the Light Blues in the coming months after inconsistent performances from most players.
Hagi’s contract expires at the end of the season, and Igamane is attracting interest from teams down south.
The Bears will undoubtedly have to strengthen their forward line next summer, and Diarra might be one of the several incomings at Ibrox.
