Dujon Sterling ‘to lead Rangers exodus’ after new Barry Ferguson reveal
Dujon Sterling could be set to lead a Rangers exodus heading into the summer transfer window.
Rangers are set for a summer of serious change given the impending takeover of the club, coupled with the fact a new manager is expected at some stage.
Every decision made by Rangers is with a view of closing the gap at the top of the Scottish Premiership and getting them back in a closer title race next season.
However, that’s something that is also expected to impact the players, with the long-term future of the entire squad being unclear right now due to everything that is going on.
Barry Ferguson shares fitness update on four players
Rangers are currently preparing for Saturday’s (26 April) game against St Mirren, but Barry Ferguson will be without four players for that fixture.
Leon Balogun, Sterling, Ridvan Yilmaz and Tom Lawrence are all on the injured list at the moment, and are set to play no part in this fixture.
There is a chance that all four men will never kick a ball for Rangers again, especially in the cases of Balogun and Lawrence.
| Scottish Premiership Standings | Games Played | Won | Lost | Points |
| 2. Rangers | 33 | 20 | 7 | 66 |
Both men are out of contract at the end of this season and could be set to move on from Ibrox for a new challenge in their careers.
The situation obviously weakens Rangers heading into this particular fixture, but losing all four players in the summer transfer window would also be a significant blow.
Rangers need to cut ties with players
Even though allowing four players to all move on from Ibrox would be seen as a risk due to how many signings a new Rangers manager would then need to make, it could be necessary in this case.
All of the players unavailable this weekend have struggled with injuries this season, and they have been a drain on the club’s finances.
That’s something that Rangers can ill-afford at the moment, and when every penny counts, the idea of wasting them on four injured players is hard to comprehend.
That is why whoever takes over from Ferguson ahead of next season might look to part ways with them to move the squad forward.
