Rangers are also in talks with PSV Eindhoven winger Esmir Bajraktarevic ahead of the 5pm deadline.

The 21-year-old, who shone for Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 2026 World Cup, is an active deadline-day target for the Gers.

With a move for VfB Stuttgart's Badredine Bouanani edging close, the Light Blues don't seem to have any intentions of stopping.

Bajraktarevic has emerged as a concrete target and he's one of the few the Ibrox hierarchy are talking to.

The final few hours of the day could bring some incredible news for fans in G51 as they close in on multiple signings.

How PSV feel about Rangers deal for Esmir Bajraktarevic after Couhaib Driouech debacle

Kevin Kelsy and Badredine Bouanani are expected to be the Gers' 13th and 14th summer signings.

Bajraktarevic could potentially be the 15th arrival, with the Light Blues in dialogue with him, according to the Daily Record.

The versatile attacker, who has won the Eredivisie title with PSV twice, is one of the players Dan Purdy has done extensive work on.

While the Glaswegian outfit pulled out of a deal for Couhaib Driouech's move from the Dutch side over a medical issue, that hasn't soured the relationship between the Govan side's technical director and PSV CEO Marcel Brands.

Still, the report points out there is a tinge of irony to it if Rangers try to do more business with PSV.

What Ibrox hierarchy may have up their sleeves with deadline-day madness

Rangers fans could be in for a treat if the club make three new signings before the window closes.

The Gers are planning to invest in some quality prospects who could definitely contribute heavily under Derek McInnes.

What the spending spree could potentially also lead to is more departures from the Light Blues in the coming hours.

The likes of Nicolas Raskin and Djeidi Gassama may yet be shown the door if the Glaswegian outfit feel the need to raise funds.
