Rangers manager Derek McInnes admits he expects interest in his squad this summer as he continues his rebuild at Ibrox.
The club has already brought in Lawrence Shankland, Ross McCrorie, Ben Godfrey, Dan Neil, and Ivor Pandur, while Jack Butland completed his move to Hull City on Thursday.
McInnes acknowledged players could move on, with Nico Raskin among those attracting attention as he features in the World Cup knockout stages with Belgium. “Yes, possibly, but these are things that I don’t know, that you can’t control,” McInnes said [Sky Sports]
“The World Cup is a great stage, and obviously, Nico has done well. There will be natural progression for a lot of players.
“A lot of players aren’t going to get guaranteed game time here, and they might be better served going elsewhere to find that, but these discussions are ongoing.

“There’s no doubt we’ve got good players here who could be of interest.”
McInnes also confirmed he is in no rush to appoint a new captain following James Tavernier’s departure. “I’m actually quite relaxed about it at the minute,” he said.
“I’m trying to fill the dressing room with a lot of captains. Then I’ll have the benefit and the luxury of being able to choose one.
“At the minute we’re a long way from making that decision. I’d like to think we’re going to get a number of good, viable options who can take that role on.”
