Finnish outfit FC Honka are prepared to green-light his move to Scotland.

Rangers defender Conor Goldson has agreed a contract extension at the Ibrox club. According to reports from the Sunday Mail, the Gers defender has committed his future to the Scottish Premiership champions earlier this week. The report claims that the 28-year-old centre-back, who was outstanding for the Gers last season, has penned a three-year deal at the club.

Peterborough striker Jonson Clarke-Harris is thought to be keen on a move to Rangers this summer. According to Daily Record, the Scottish champions have been monitoring the 27 year old for a while now and he is a long-term target for them. Star striker Alfredo Morelos has been linked with a move away from Ibrox this summer and it is no secret that Rangers will have to bring in a top-class replacement. The 27-year-old recently scored 33 goals last season to secure Peterborough’s berth in the Championship next season.

The English forward joined the Scottish giants from Accrington Stanley in 2016, spending two seasons at Ibrox before joining Wigan Athletic. Windass scored 19 goals in 73 games for Rangers but confirmed during a Q&A session on Instagram that he wishes he had stayed longer.

Rangers are interested in bringing veteran English centre-back Gary Cahill to Ibrox and hand him a £35,000-a-week contract, according to The Sun. The 35-year-old is out of contract at Crystal Palace, but the Eagles want him to stay and sign a new deal. However, while Rangers are ready to meet his demands, Palace’s offer is less basic cash, with extras for appearances. Sportslens View Cahill has nothing else to prove in England having won it all with Chelsea, and a move to link up with former Three Lions teammates Steven Gerrard and Jermain Defoe at Rangers could be appealing. The Scottish Premiership champions are giving the defender a chance to add to his medals and also play in Europe, with two qualifying rounds between them and a place in the group stages of the Champions League. Ranger...
A section of Arsenal fans on Twitter reacted to Nuno Tavares’ performance during the 2-2 friendly draw at Rangers on Saturday afternoon. The Portuguese remains the club’s only signing of the transfer window, and he made his non-competitive debut at the Ibrox Stadium. The left-back impressed with the attacking facet of his game, but he grabbed the equalising goal for the Gunners (1-1) in the first half. He took advantage of a poor control from James Tavernier and showed good composure to get into the box before unleashing a right-footed shot from a tight angle. In his presentation interview, Tavares highlighted that he can shoot with his weaker right foot, and some fans pointed out the same after he scored. Others were pleased with the goal from the 21-year-old, which was rather unexpected....
Rangers winger Ryan Kent was outstanding for the Gers last season, and he is still wanted by Leeds United. Leeds attempted to lure Kent away from Ibrox in 2020, but Rangers stood firm on their decision not to let him go. It proved to be the right one as Kent played a massive role in helping Rangers lift the Scottish Premiership title last season. The former Liverpool winger bagged 13 goals and 15 assists for the Gers across all competitions, proving his class and quality. According to The Athletic, Leeds still retain an interest in signing Kent from Rangers. Although the Gers are under no pressure to sell their prized assets, there is a concern that they have recouped very little from sales while investing around £40 million since Steven Gerrard took charge three years ago.
