Rangers: Derek McInnes project brief clear as day in double transfer update

Rangers are showing no intention of slowing down after completing five new signings this summer.

Lawrence Shankland, Ross McCrorie, Ben Godfrey, Ivor Pandur and Dan Neil have come through the doors, with plenty more expected to follow.

Derek McInnes wants to compete for titles immediately at the Light Blues and Andrew Cavenagh has backed him with major investment so far.

The Ibrox hierarchy also have plans to revamp their midfield with Partizan star Vanja Dragojevic and Scotland's Lewis Ferguson.

While talks are continuing over signing the Serbia international, the Bologna midfielder will surely have plenty of suitors.

With the Glaswegian outfit's pursuit of the duo, what's clear is McInnes' possible brief in who he wants to sign in Govan.

Dragojevic and Ferguson are both defensive-midfielders who exude plenty of passion and aggression on the pitch, often leading by example.

What many fans at Ibrox felt was lacking under Danny Rohl was the right attitude and determination in the players, something McInnes will certainly be looking to fix.

Dragojevic, 20, has been handed the captain's armband at Partizan at such a young age, highlighting his character.

Scottish fans don't need an introduction to Ferguson, who made his name at Aberdeen under the now-Gers boss and has captained Bologna during his time in Italy.

Rangers are pushing to sign both Dragojevic and Ferguson, and a successful move for the Serbian youngster won't affect their plans with the 26-year-old Scottish star.

There have been suggestions that Bologna want around £17million for the midfielder, which would easily shatter the Gers' previous transfer record.

With Nicolas Raskin possibly going the other way, it's easily doable.

McInnes may have already hinted that the Ibrox faithful may need to be patient about the Light Blues' sixth signing of the summer.

Speaking to the media, the Scottish manager said, “People think it is easy to get signings done, but normally when good players are involved, more than one team is involved."

Cavenagh and the 49ers' ownership so far has been encouraging for fans in G51 despite the collapse under Rohl, with the Americans not shy about spending money and making tough decisions to right their wrongs.

Now, they must continue to do just that.
