Southampton reunion lined up – Three stars Russell Martin could sign at Rangers
Rangers have now appointed Russell Martin as their new manager, and transfer business can officially begin.
Martin reportedly has £20 million to reshape the Gers squad ready for next season.
Rangers have struggled to end Celtic’s dominance since their return to the Scottish Premiership, but there is hope that this can now be achieved.
However, Martin will no doubt have to be backed for this to happen, with multiple new signings needed.
Therefore, Rangers News has examined three players Martin could sign at Ibrox this summer.
Josh Mulligan – Dundee
Josh Mulligan was linked to Rangers in May after a successful season at the Dark Blues.
The versatile midfielder helped Dundee stay in the Scottish Premiership this season and is currently out of contract in the summer.
Despite talks with the 22-year-old being held, Rangers could not move in for Mulligan until a manager was appointed.
Now that the obstacle is out of the way, Martin will surely look to secure the signing to add more depth to his squad.
Samuel Edozie – Southampton
Rangers were linked with Samuel Edozie last summer before the winger moved to Anderlecht on loan.
The 22-year-old has now returned to his parent club Southampton – Martin’s former team.
Therefore, Rangers may look to reignite their interest in the winger and let him reunite with his old boss.

Edozie did impress under Martin and scored six goals in the Championship as they won the play-offs last season.
If the Englishman can repeat this feat, he will become a valuable asset at Ibrox.
Largie Ramazani – Leeds United
More recently, Rangers have been linked with Largie Ramazani.
Now that the 49ers hold a stake in the Glaswegian club, there have been suggestions that transfers may take place between Ibrox and their sister club Leeds United.
The Belgium winger has had a tricky start to life at Elland Road, despite him helping the Peacocks win promotion back to the Premier League this season.
It is believed that Ramazani has admirers at Rangers, and Martin could be tempted to add the winger to his ranks this summer.
