Portland Timbers striker Kevin Kelsy is undergoing his medical with Rangers ahead of a £9million move to Ibrox.

Kelsy, 22, was not in the Timbers squad that lost to Austin FC on Sunday and he's now set to become Rangers' 13th signig of the summer transfer window.

It's been a rough start to the new campaign at Ibrox, but Kelsy's arriving in Govan with a lot of hype.

And according to new reports on Monday, the Venezuela international had a lot of interest in him from across England and abroad before he opted to join the Light Blues.

It remains to be seen when Kelsy will be officially confirmed as a new Rangers player but Sky Sports News' latest update suggests an announcement could be imminent.

What Sky Sports say about Kevin Kelsy's move to Rangers

In an update on their Transfer Centre at 2:14pm on Monday, Sky Sports reported that Kelsy is having his medical ahead of joining Rangers.

Portland have accepted a £9m offer for the former Shakhtar Donetsk striker, who has scored nine goals in 19 MLS appearances in 2026 for the Oregon club.

Sky Sports adds that Kelsy has "obtained the required paperwork" to travel to Scotland and complete the final steps of his move to Glasgow.

It is understood that Kelsy's arrival will open the door for Bojan Miovski to leave.

Who else could be leaving Rangers?

While the Scottish Premiership transfer window doesn't shut until Thursday, most leagues in Europe have to conclude their business on Tuesday.

So, there should be a flurry of activity between now and the end of play on 1 September that could involve outgoings at Ibrox.

Miovski's future is one that's in doubt, but Sky Sports add that Nicolas Raskin could also leave if a bid matches the Gers' valuation of him.

Connor Barron and Lyan Cameron have reportedly been the subject of enquires.

While Sky Sports also reports that Rangers are allowing Ross McCausland, Clinton Nsiala and John Souttar to leave.
