Kris Boyd doesn't see a future for Nicolas Raskin at Rangers this summer.

The Belgium international's exit feels inevitable after the Gers' investment in Dan Neil, Cammy Devlin and Vanja Dragojevic.

There's plenty of interest in the midfielder from top teams around Europe and the Light Blues could cash in on him soon.

Raskin isn't the only player whose future looks to be away from Ibrox as Derek McInnes puts plans in place for next season.

The Scottish manager has promised to take the Glaswegian outfit back to the top and would need a competitive squad to do so.

Andrew Cavenagh hasn't been shy about spending money in Govan since taking over, but the American owners should also be looking to balance the books.

Who else Kris Boyd wants to see leave Rangers

So far, the Gers have made seven signings this transfer window, with more in the pipeline.

In terms of the outgoings from the first-team squad, Bailey Rice, Jack Butland and Danilo have been the three departures from Ibrox, but there's arguably plenty more fat to trim in the squad.

Boyd doesn't see a way for Raskin to stay at the Light Blues, especially after seeing multiple signings bolster the engine room.

The former Scotland international also wants others to leave, naming Djeidi Gassama directly.

Boyd wasn't pleased with the winger's performance against West Ham United in the friendly, suggesting he needs a fresh start elsewhere.

Speaking on Go Ballistic on 27 July, the ex-striker said, "I would be astonished if Raskin is a Rangers player next season. When you look at the money Rangers have spent and the areas they've spent it in, you're probably saying we need this money back in.

"There are a few others who need to go as well. Gassama, I looked at him, he's a pale shadow of the player he was at the start of last season as well."

Derek McInnes could make transfer U-turn on Ibrox outcast

Ibrox News have covered reports of Nedim Bajrami being unwanted at Rangers, with the Albania international part of the bomb squad.

The 27-year-old moved to the Gers with high expectations in 2024 but has failed to live up to them.

Last season, the attacker was a bit-part player for the Light Blues as Danny Rohl relied on other options up front.

Bajrami may have a new lease of life at Ibrox after being relied on by McInnes during pre-season.

Considering the lack of quality out wide, the Albania ace could still have a role to play at the Glaswegian outfit.

Despite initial suggestions that the former Sassuolo attacker had no future in Govan, the Scottish manager may have changed his mind.
