Robin Propper set for new Rangers talks amid Conor Coady development
Robin Propper has been linked with a Rangers exit this summer after a disappointing first season at Ibrox.
Russell Martin is keen on signing Leicester centre-back Conor Coady as he wants to bolster his defensive ranks.
The England international could seal an exit from the King Power Stadium as the Foxes got relegated from the Premier League.
Martin set to hold talks with Robin Propper with FC Twente keen
The Gers first team is set to return to pre-season training this week, with Martin set to impart his philosophy on his new side.
All players who are still at the club are expected to be present, despite their future being unclear.
Propper, despite FC Twente being serious about re-signing him, will be returning with the rest of his teammates.

The 31-year-old was a regular for Gers last season as he made 41 appearances in all competitions.
Given injuries to John Souttar and Leon Balogun, Propper was asked to fill in more often than not.
Daily Record’s Scott Burns claimed on 22 June that he is set to hold talks with Martin this week over his future.
Rangers must look to cash in on Propper this summer
Rangers must prioritise signing Coady and another centre-back on a free transfer to bolster their defence, while capitalising on Propper’s current market value by selling him to FC Twente.
Coady, a 32-year-old with 10 England caps and extensive Premier League experience, offers leadership and stability, qualities the Ibrox outfit need desperately need after a shaky defensive season.
A second free-agent centre-back would add depth without straining the budget.
Meanwhile, Propper, who struggled with the Scottish Premiership’s physicality in his debut season, is unlikely to improve significantly at 31.
With Twente keen to re-sign their former captain for around £1.5million, now is the optimal time to cash in, as his value may decline further.
This move would free up funds and squad space, allowing Martin to build a robust defence tailored to his vision for the 2025/26 campaign, potentially with Coady joining.
