A pre-contract agreement has been struck with Aberdeen winger Scott Wright, while similar deals for Bournemouth duo Jack Simpson and Nnamdi Ofoborh look to be in the offing too.
The Gers have made a habit out of that kind of deal in recent seasons, and we’ve even seen them bring forward the arrival of certain players by paying a nominal fee up front.
Glen Kamara is perhaps the best example of how that approach can pay dividends, and speculation remains rife as to whether or not they could look to replicate the Finn’s arrival with any of the three playes that they are currenlty in for.
Aside from that trio, however, Steven Gerrard’s men have been linked with a whole host of players, ranging from Premier League stars to up-and-coming EFL starlets.
A number of reported targets, such as Preston North End’s Daniel Johnson and Sheffield United’s John Lundstram, are at the centre of uncertainty surrounding their contract situations at their current clubs, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see rumours linking them to Ibrox rumble on until the summer.
Lundstram in particular appears to be a player who appears to be generating some excitement.
Former Scotland defender Alan Hutton, for instance, has talked the prospect of him signing for the Gers, telling Football Insider that he believes his arrival would be a real coup for Gerrard.
He said: “We’re talking about a Premier League player here. I know, obviously, he’s had contract problems down south and he’s not signed a new deal.
“I think he’s a fantastic midfielder. He was one of their [Sheffied United’s] best players last season.
"So he’s a guy that definitely improves the squad.”
In the more immediate future, there are also a few players who still look as if they would be more viable as January transfers, whether that be for the Gers or for the host of other sides who are said to be tracking them.
We’ve gathered the full range of whispers involving Rangers from the past few weeks – click and scroll through the pages below to check them out:
1. Siriki Dembele
Dembele handed in a transfer request at Peterborough United at the start of the month, and has been linked with an exit ever since. Rangers are said to be in the running for his services alongside a host of other sides, including Celtic and a number of English teams. Posh are reluctant to let their star man go, but this could be one to keep an eye on in the coming days. (Photo by David Rogers/Getty Images) Photo: David Rogers
2. Scott Wright
The Gers have already announced a pre-contract agreement for the Aberdeen winger, but we've seen them bring forward that kind of deal before when they paid a nominal fee to Dundee to get Glen Kamara through the door in January 2019. Could they make a similar move before the deadline passes this time around? (Photo by Carlos Rodrigues/Getty Images) Photo: Carlos Rodrigues
3. Billy Gilmour
The one that got away, Gilmour has been touted for a loan exit from Chelsea this month. Steven Gerrard has previously said that the Gers are not looking at bringing Gilmour back to Ibrox, but pundit Gabby Agbonlahor has claimed that he could see a deal being struck. In truth, the chances of that happening feel slim at best. (Photo by Catherine Ivill/Getty Images) Photo: Catherine Ivill
4. Nnamdi Ofoborh
Ofoborh looks all set to join the Gers on a pre-contract agreement. Much like Wright, however, a move between now and the end of the window can't be ruled out. (Photo by Neil Hall - Pool/Getty Images) Photo: Pool
