Rangers are set to make another grave error as Botafogo negotiate a deal for Danilo.

The three-time Brazilian league champions have expressed an interest in the centre-forward, who looks to be on his way out of the Gers.

Derek McInnes left John Souttar and the 27-year-old striker out of his pre-season squad that travelled to Spain, opening the door for their exits.

Danilo has no future at Ibrox and could be on his way out after leaving in the winter transfer window.

The Brazilian ace joined NEC Nijmegen on loan midway through last season, but struggled to make a mark in the Netherlands.

While the Eredivisie outfit did hold an option to buy the attacker, they opted against it, which should be a lesson for the Glaswegian outfit.

Details of Danilo transfer negotiations emerge at Rangers

Ibrox News have covered reports of Botafogo opening talks to sign Danilo from the Gers.

Brazilian news outlet ge on 14 July confirmed reports of the South American wanting to strike a deal with the Light Blues for the attacker.

They've added that Botafogo want to sign the centre-forward on loan with an option to buy.

The Glaswegian outfit have previously seen a similar deal fail to materialise into a permanent move for Danilo and would be foolish to make the same mistake again.

Derek McInnes could force second number nine out of Ibrox

Lawrence Shankland, Youssef Chermiti, Ryan Naderi and Bojan Miovski are part of the striking contingent at Rangers right now.

The former Hearts captain will surely be given a leading role by McInnes as the two worked together at Tynecastle Park and almost made history last season.

Chermiti has also turned himself into a genuine contender to start regularly under the Scottish manager after a strong end to the previous campaign.

The Light Blues spent a decent amount on Naderi in the winter window and seem to have high hopes for him.

That leaves Miovski with a dilemma, as the prospect of regular game time at Ibrox seems challenging and could make him reconsider his future in Govan.
