More Gers signings unlikely but not ruled out

-

Rangers are “pretty much done” in terms of summer signings but director of football Mark Allen will not call time until the very end of the transfer window.

The Ibrox side have brought in seven new players and are keeping an eye on Ryan Kent’s situation at Liverpool after the winger’s successful loan spell in Glasgow last season.

Steven Gerrard has added centreback­s Filip Helander and George Edmundson, midfielder­s Joe Aribo and Sheyi Ojo, wingers Jordan Jones and Jake Hastie and former Dundee and Aberdeen forward Greg Stewart.

Allen told Rangers TV: “I always say never say never. The transfer window closes in the early part of September this year, so we will go right to the wire.

“Like all things, if we think there is something out there that can add to what we have already got and we think will make us better, my job is to make that case to the board and see where we get to.

“I think it is fair to say we are pretty much done, but you will always be looking to fine-tune.

“I have always said we have been supported in pretty much everything we wanted to do. We have been prudent with that too in terms of making sure through good scouting and recruitmen­t we are able to identify players who we think will bring value to the overall organisati­on, and paying sensible transfer fees to go with that.”

Allen could be busier now trying to get players off the books with the likes of Kyle Lafferty, Joe Dodoo, Graham Dorrans, Eros Grezda and Jason Holt apparently surplus to requiremen­ts.

Another player has left following the exit of Daniel Candeias earlier this week, as goalkeeper Jak Alnwick has signed for Blackpool on a season-long loan.
