Rangers transfer list revealed as four big-earners miss draw v Middlesbrough
Rangers have already allowed several players to depart Ibrox this summer.
Robin Propper’s move to Eredivisie side FC Twente was finally confirmed on Saturday (26 July), and fellow defender Leon Balogun has also moved on.
Tom Lawrence and Ianis Hagi are among the other names to leave at the end of the season, but Russell Martin will hope to attract a transfer fee for his remaining expendables within the squad.
The Englishman has overseen a busy window for the Gers, with the Glasgow club now keen to offset their expenditure with several sales.
Martin makes transfer list clear
Rangers will play their first match of the 2025/26 Scottish Premiership next Saturday (2 August), when they travel to Motherwell.
But Martin has already overseen his first competitive match in charge of the club, the Gers riding out 2-0 winners at Ibrox in the first leg of their Champions League qualifier against Panathinaikos.
Teenager Findlay Curtis opened the scoring against the Greek side, and the youngster was on the scoresheet again on Saturday (26 July) as Rangers drew 2-2 in a friendly against Championship side Middlesbrough.
The visitors took an early lead through Neto Borges before Dael Fry made it 2-0, but goals from Danilo and Curtis after the break saw Martin’s side end their pre-season on a high.
Exit-linked striker Hamza Igamane was missing from the squad, and, according to the Sunday Mail (page 61, 27 July), some of the other absentees may well feature on Rangers’ transfer list.

Jose Cifuentes, Rabbi Matondo, Ben Davies and Ridvan Yilmaz were absent from Martin’s squad, and the big-earners “top the list of those needing moved on” according to the report.
Transfer chiefs at Ibrox are hoping to oversee the exits of said players in the coming weeks, in a bid to trim the fat from a bloated Rangers squad.
Rangers need sales
Whilst it has been a busy summer window for Rangers already, sales may be needed in order to perfect it with further desired incomings.
The departures of those not expected to play a significant role for Martin will allow for space both within the wage bill, and the Gers’ compliance with the financial regulations.
Rangers are attempting to complete a move for Crystal Palace talent Jesurun Raky-Sakyi – an expensive move which will certainly need offsetting by departures.
