What could happen after Rangers announce Kevin Kelsy signing

Rangers are closing in on the signing of Kevin Kelsy from Portland Timbers.

The Gers have been in the market for a new number nine for several weeks.

There is a desperate need to find an alternative to Youssef Chermiti after his ACL injury.

He was forced off against Hibernian in August and is likely to miss the rest of the season as he recovers.

Kelsy has been identified as the go to man for Rangers, but what business could follow his arrival?

Who could leave Rangers after Kevin Kelsy arrival?

There is plenty of excitement surrounding the arrival of the Venezuelan in Govan.

Given that he will cost £9million, there are also high expectations for him to hit the ground running immediately.

That sort of fee means that he will likely become an instant regular for the Light Blues.

The Daily Record reported on Thursday that he is set to go into "direct competition" with Lawrence Shankland at Ibrox.

That could force Bojan Miovski and Ryan Naderi out of the picture under Derek McInnes.

There is said to be a possibility that one of the two could depart the Gers on deadline day once Kelsy's arrival is confirmed.

Where could Bojan Miovski or Ryan Naderi go?

There have been plenty of rumours surrounding late exits from Ibrox, but mainly for Miovski.

The North Macedonia international has been strongly linked with a departure in the past week.

Turkish outfit Genclerbirligi showcased an interest in a permanent deal before moving for other targets.

Feyenoord were also interested, but that move never materialised.

All that means that he could be closer to a departure right now, while there is a general lack of exit links for Naderi.
