Rangers transfer priorities after Cammy Devlin deal confirmed

Rangers have already made inroads on their transfer business this summer with six new faces.

Manager Derek McInnes has wasted no time in adding to his squad as he understands reinforcements have been necessary to ensure a title fight this coming campaign.

Cammy Devlin was the latest player to arrive from Hearts with the Ibrox giants already having landed Lawrence Shankland, Ivor Pandur, Ben Godfrey, Dan Neil and Ross McCrorie this window.

And while McInnes knows other fringe players must depart to allow for incomings, he already has his eye on specific positions he feels he needs strength in depth added.

According to the Rangers Review, McInnes has instructed his scouting network to find him a right-sided winger as well as a left-sided centre-back as the two main priorities left to bolster.

The boss will have the final say on the players who arrive but his talent-spotters will have their hands on identifying options for the club.

Another central midfield player is also believed to be on the cards with Devlin's arrival not preventing that from occuring.

Gers have been linked with Partizan Belgrade's Vanja Dragojevic while Tromso want around £8.5million for another Ibrox target in Norwegian Jens Hjerto-Dahl.

McInnes said recently: "I think we're having good discussions with the recruitment team. We're all kind of singing from the same page, really, about the areas of the team that we need to strengthen. So probably still a good bit of work to do without putting a number on it.

"Really pleased with the work that's been done. I think everyone deserves some credit for that. But on the same token, it's not enough yet. We've still got work to do and we're well aware that we need to be as ready as we can be. Ideally, we'd be as ready as we could be for the first game proper against Dundee United.

"But there's not a team in the country that will be as ready as they want to be for that. And the squad that it looks like now, to the squad that it looks like when the window closes, I think will be a wee bit different."
