Ally McCoist says Joe Aribo leaves Rangers with 'thanks and blessings' with the midfielder increasingly likely to leave Ibrox this summer.
It's been reported that the midfielder - who joined back in 2019 from Charlton Athletic for just £300,000 - has rejected fresh terms with his contract entering the final 12 months. Southampton appear to be in pole position to land the 25-year-old with a £6 million fee mentioned. Rangers hero McCoist reckons that kind of money is 'strange' given a £10m clause but points to potential add-ons taking the deal above that figure.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst will see the departure of the Nigeria international as a major blow as he bids to recapture the Premiership title from Celtic and qualify for the Champions League proper with qualifiers on the horizon. He was instrumental in the run to the Europa League Final last season and Scottish Cup success. A move out of Ibrox doesn't come as a shock to McCoist who believes the English Premier League outfit will be getting a 'very, very good player'
