Rangers Set for Major Summer Overhaul with Six New Signings on the Cards
Rangers fans could be in for an exciting summer, with reports suggesting that new owners, 49ers Enterprises, are prepared to inject funds to bring in six fresh faces to strengthen the squad.
This potential transfer activity is aimed at giving their incoming manager a significant boost in next season’s Scottish Premiership title race.
A last-minute equaliser from Ianis Hagi against Aberdeen on Sunday prevented Celtic from clinching the title before the league split, but Rangers’ title hopes remain slim.
They would need to overturn a staggering 42-goal difference and hope for five consecutive Celtic losses—more defeats than the Hoops have suffered all season.
With the title seemingly out of reach, the focus has shifted to rebuilding.
According to Football Insider, the 49ers Enterprises are “set” to release funds to recruit six new players this summer, aiming to close the current 15-point gap between Rangers and their Glasgow rivals.
A significant summer rebuild is expected, and key loanees from the current season could be central to those plans.
Vaclav Cerny, a standout performer with 24 goal contributions in 46 appearances, is reportedly a top priority for a permanent deal from Wolfsburg.
Fellow loanees Rafael Fernandes and Oscar Cortes are also targets for permanent transfers.
The new ownership intends to appoint a permanent manager at the end of the season, but they’re committed to backing that individual in the market.
With the gap to Celtic being described as a “chasm,” substantial reinforcements are expected.
Barry Ferguson is considered an unlikely candidate for the long-term managerial role.
Once the new boss is in place, Rangers are set to move quickly in the market, with the aim of closing the gap and mounting a serious challenge next season.
