Exclusive: Robin Propper exit twist emerges with Rangers set to make announcement
Robin Propper appears to be on the cusp of sealing his permanent Rangers exit, Ibrox News has learned.
The Dutch defender moved to Glasgow last summer from FC Twente and will now be returning to them a year later.
Last season, he made 43 games in all competitions but was inconsistent and not the first-choice option.
Robin Propper exit expected to be announced this week
Rangers are expected to announce Propper’s exit before the end of this week, sources have told Ibrox News.
Twente have been working to agree a deal with the Ibrox outfit for weeks and have finally struck an agreement.
The centre-back himself is keen on returning to the Dutch outfit after struggling to adapt to life in the SPFL.

Gers are understood to be in pursuit of another centre-back despite signing Nasser Djiga and Emmanuel Fernandez.
Russell Martin likes Conor Coady and the pursuit of the Leicester City defender appears to be ongoing.
Rangers need to avoid making signings like Propper
Rangers must avoid signings like Propper to ensure future success and return to the summit of Scottish football again.
Propper, signed from FC Twente in 2024, struggled to adapt to the Scottish Premiership’s physicality and pace, failing to justify his £2.5million transfer fee.
His limited impact highlighted a mismatch with the club’s tactical needs and league demands.
Moreover, an overall loss on the transfer reflects a financial burden of such signings, tying up resources and hindering squad rebuilding efforts.
To succeed, Rangers should prioritise players with proven adaptability to high-intensity leagues, aligning with Martin’s vision and the new American ownership’s investment strategy.
Avoiding high-cost, underperforming signings ensures financial flexibility and a squad capable of challenging Celtic’s dominance.
