Rangers transfer bulletin as Xavi Simons opens up on 'big club' decision and Zak Lovelace edges closer to move

Rangers fans are eagerly anticipating an influx of new recruits at Ibrox as they look to wrestle the Premiership title back from Celtic next season. The Europa League finalists have added John Souttar, but fans are been to see more big names added.

One player that won't be arriving is reported Rangers target Xavi Simons after he agreed a deal with PSV. Simons leaves Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain after insisting he wanted regular game time at "a big club." The 19-year-old had been set to remain in France beyond this summer, but after contract negotiations rumbled on with the European heavyweights.

However, he performed a sensational U-turn ahead of his contract being announced by the French champions in favour of a move to Dutch football.
