Rangers made 14 signings in the latest transfer window.

Having spent around £35million on new players, the Gers have a completely different squad from last season.

Derek McInnes has been backed by Andrew Cavenagh and it will now be up to the Scottish manager to bring the best out of the team.

After a few teething problems, it looks like McInnes is slowly finding his preferred system and personnel at Ibrox.

Apart from the multiple incomings, 10 players also made their way out of the Glaswegian outfit permanently or on temporary transfers.

With the new arrivals at the Govan side, there will certainly be more players who will be looking over their shoulder in G51.

Why Ross McCrorie could already be Rangers casualty

McInnes reunited with Ross McCrorie this summer, but the former Bristol City defender has struggled for game time at the Gers.

Dujon Sterling seems to be the Scottish manager's preferred option at right-back, while Kosta Nedeljkovic also signed from Aston Villa in August.

McCrorie already faces questions about his role and future at the Glaswegian outfit.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for the 28-year-old Scotsman in the coming months.

How Tuur Rommens is no longer as important at Ibrox

Tuur Rommens became an early fan favourite at Rangers after signing from Westerlo in January.

The Belgian left-back's performances saw him stake his claim as a regular in the starting lineup.

What has been frustrating about the 23-year-old during his time in Govan so far are his persistent fitness issues.

James Penrice has come in and made the left-back spot his own and Rommens now has a tough challenge ahead of him to get back into McInnes' plans when fit again.

Where Tochi Chukwuani stands after summer transfer window

Tochi Chukwuani was part of Danny Rohl's reinforcements in January, but he now finds himself in a peculiar position.

With Nicolas Raskin staying and Cammy Devlin or Dan Neil being preferred as the Belgium international's partner in the double pivot, the former Sturm Graz midfielder's prospects look bleak.

Vanja Dragojevic was also one of the Gers' new signings this summer, leading to plenty of competition for places in the middle of the park.

With McInnes preferring the 4-2-3-1 setup, Chukwuani has to make sure he takes his chances whenever he's given them.

What future could hold for Bojan Miovski

Bojan Miovski is no longer with any football agency and is representing himself for the foreseeable future.

The striker was being heavily linked with an exit from Rangers, but may have to stick around for now.

Pressure will be on the North Macedonia international to provide support to Ryan Naderi and Kevin Kelsy after injuries to Lawrence Shankland and Youssef Chermiti.

The 27-year-old has failed to kickstart his career in Govan after an underwhelming stint at Girona and faces an influential spell ahead of his next career decision.
