Rangers are set to give fans a very positive ending to this summer's transfer window.

After putting the disappointment of Jablonec behind them, Derek McInnes' side have now won two league games on the spin.

Lawrence Shankland really seems to be coming into form now too, after a slow start to his Ibrox career.

In addition to this, Rangers have been working the phones on Thursday's deadline day to make further additions.

And they are set to send Rangers supporters into the rest of the season feeling very good about their deadline day business.

What has been said about the status of Badredine Bouanani's Rangers move?

It was reported earlier on Thursday that Rangers were in talks over a move for Badredine Bouanani.

The winger could become Rangers' record signing if everything goes to plan.

That's because it's reported that the 21-year-old will have a £15.5million permanent option as part of his loan move to Govan.

Speaking of which, the Heart & Hand Podcast claim via X that Bouanani's loan transfer is now complete.

They claim that an official announcement is expected later on Thursday evening.

So, why might Bouanani not necessarily just be joining Rangers to play on the wing?

Where else can Bouanani play?

A right winger by trade, McInnes has been searching for more depth down the flanks.

Because of which, it can be presumed that this is where the Algerian international will likely play most of his football at Ibrox.

However, as detailed via Transfermarkt, he's also operated as an attacking midfielder and even at centre-forward during his time with Stuttgart.

So he could be a far more versatile forward option for Rangers than many realise, only adding to the value he's set to bring to this group.
