Rangers have pulled off some decent deals for Derek McInnes this transfer window.

While there's certainly a lack of balance in the Gers' squad, Andrew Cavenagh hasn't been shy about splashing the cash.

The Light Blues have already made 11 signings this summer and it doesn't look like they're done yet.

It's encouraging to see that the Ibrox side have been able to compete against English sides like Watford in the transfer window.

With the prospect of European football, the Glaswegian outfit are surely an enticing prospect.

It's no secret, though, that clubs down south usually have better financial pull, but it looks like the Govan side can compete with some of them.

What Watford are now doing after missing out on Ben Godfrey to Rangers

Rangers signed Ben Godfrey on loan from Atalanta earlier this summer.

The Gers also have an option to make the English centre-back's deal permanent at the end of the season.

According to Sky Sports on 24 August, the Glaswegian outfit had to beat Watford to win the race for Godfrey's signature.

After missing out on the former Everton player, the English Championship side are ramping up their pursuit to reinforce their defence before the transfer deadline.

The Hornets are assessing their options and intend to sign at least two new centre-backs before the window closes.

How many signings Rangers are poised to make before transfer deadline as needs addressed

What the Ibrox hierarchy still must do before deadline

Girona winger Kim Min-su looks to be on his way to Rangers.

The South Korean forward is expected to be the Gers' 12th signing of the summer, but the recruitment team arguably still have plenty of work to do.

Derek McInnes could do with another addition on the right-wing for the 2026-27 campaign, while a striker to replace Youssef Chermiti could also be useful.

In the midfield, departures will certainly dictate what the Light Blues can do next, but there seems to be a clear lack of creativity in that area.

In defence, the Glaswegian outfit must show ambition and sign another centre-back to have enough quality options to compete on all fronts under McInnes.
