Rangers are expected to keep an eye on the loan market in the ongoing transfer window after announcing Ben Godfrey as their third summer signing.

The English defender has joined the Gers on a season-long loan from Atalanta and the deal includes an option to buy him next summer.

Nasser Djiga and Derek Cornelius spent the 2025-26 campaign at the Light Blues and were two of the six loan signings they made during the season.

Godfrey's move to Ibrox follows a similar trend, but there are reportedly likely to be fewer loan signings at the Govan side in the coming weeks.

The ex-Everton ace joins Emmanuel Fernandes and John Souttar in Derek McInnes' ranks to bolster the defence.

The Glaswegian outfit have lost plenty of quality from their squad after the departure of some key players and it will be interesting to see how many more temporary additions they make.

Rangers continue to keep tabs on potential loan transfers

While the Gers aren't expected to sign as many loan players this summer compared to last, they continue to monitor targets.

According to The Rangers Review on 29 June, the loan market continues to be seen as carrying potentially "high-value moves".

Djiga was influential under Danny Rohl towards the end of the season, forming an impressive partnership with Fernandez and there were talks of the Govan side potentially getting him back from Wolves.

Mikey Moore was another player who thrived at Ibrox and became a fan-favourite, with the Glaswegian outfit linked with a move to re-sign him from Tottenham Hotspur in recent weeks.

Who could be next Ibrox arrival after Ben Godfrey?

Dan Neil has been linked with a move to Rangers as his contract at Sunderland runs down, with the midfielder spending the second half of the season on loan at Ipswich Town.

The 24-year-old Englishman could be a bargain signing for the Gers as they look to bolster their engine room amid uncertainty around Nicolas Raskin's future.

Neil was linked with a move to Govan in January, and despite Rohl's exit, he has shown the leadership quality and determination that McInnes desires at Ibrox.
