Rangers linked with Danish U21 international, contract situation, 6ft5in centre-back

Rangers are reportedly interest in Danish Under-21 international Thomas Kristensen.

According to reports in the player’s homeland, the Ibrox club have been tracking the centre-back who plays for Aarhus GF who currently sit fourth in Denmark’s Superligaen. He has featured in all 20 league matches, starting 19 of those.

James Sands has departed, returning to parent club New York City FC, while Filip Helander is expected to leave when his contract expires in the summer. The Swede hasn't featured at all this campaign and has been linked with a move to former club Malmo.
