Robin Propper to Rangers transfer switch 'agreed as medical set'

Robin Propper has agreed a transfer move to Rangers, according to reports.

The Twente defender is thought to be travelling to Scotland to finalise a move to Ibrox.

Propper will reportedly undergo a medical on Wednesday before the move is made official.

The 30-year-old is currently captain at Twente and was contracted until 2027.

According to ESPN, a transfer fee will be paid by Rangers to land the defender but the amount is not yet known.

Rangers were left light in defence by Connor Goldson's departure to Aris Limassol.

The club currently has John Souttar, Ben Davies, Leon Balogun, Clinton Nsiala and Leon King on the books.

Bidding farewell to the club, Goldson wrote: "Thank you Glasgow Rangers.

"The time has come, it's my time to get off the train and the ride that we have beeon on together for the past six years. This is really hard to write but I think that it is the right time to write it.

"What a six years it has been and what a pleasure it was to be a part of this amazing football club. We went through many highs and many lows together but throughout the journey I can promise you that I gave this club everything I had.

"I tried to lead by example every single day  I walked into that building and strived to make the football club a better place than when I signed, it wasn't perfect and neither was I cut I can honestly sit here and look myself in the mirror and say I gave it my all and nobody cared more.

"From Ufa away and getting the club back into European football to a Europa League final, helping return the club back to Champions League football. The league title, both cups. Do I sit here and wish we had won more together, of course. But I also sit here grateful for the memories we shared together and it's something that I don't think will ever be able to be beaten.

"I'm only back on social media to share this message with you as I haven't been able to properly say goodbye. It hurts that this is the way it has to be as it's never been my way, I never wanted to be liked for my posts on social media, and maybe being private and not speaking much with the media detached me a little, but never for one moment think I didn't appreciate the fan base and all the support you have given me in the last six years. All I wanted to be judged for was what I did on the pitch and nothing else.

"Thank you to my managers, the trust you have always shown in me from the day I've walked through the door and the connections we made will always be remembered.

"To my teammates, there have been many. Bit's it's been a pleasure to share that dressing room with you, the laughter, the friendships that I have made and the memories will last a lifetime.

"To all the staff in the club. Thank you! You've always made me feel at home and got me through many difficult moments. I have met some of the best men and women who would give their life to this football club and have done everything in my time to help me and my family.

"Thank you to my family, my wife and my boys for going through this journey with me, I know I wasn't easy to live with but we shared days and nights at this club that we wouldn't have thought were even possible.

"Rangers football club will always have a place in my heart. I will always follow. And I will always cheer, because when you have been a part of this special club I don't think it ever leaves you.

"Thank you and the best of luck for the future."
