Rangers defender Robin Propper is reportedly “truly on his way” to join Dutch side FC Twente, with the move likely to be finalized within the next 24 hours. This development comes as no surprise, given Propper’s lack of favor under Rangers manager Russell Martin, who has been adding defensive options to the squad this summer.

Propper’s Situation

Propper’s potential exit from Ibrox is part of a larger trend, with several Rangers players reportedly being offered exit routes or being close to leaving the club. This includes ¹ ²:
– James Tavernier: The Rangers captain has been made an official offer to move to Saudi Arabia and reunite with Steven Gerrard at Al Ettifaq.
– Borna Barisic: The left-back is said to be “very close” to a free transfer to Turkish club Trabzonspor once his contract expires.
– John Lundstram: For the same club, Lundstram has reportedly agreed to a deal despite manager Philippe Clement’s desire to keep him around.

Uncertainty and Change

The uncertainty surrounding these players’ futures reflects a broader sense of change at Rangers. With Clement planning a “mini-revolution” at Ibrox, the club may be looking to revamp its squad and bring in fresh talent. This could be an opportunity for the team to regroup and focus on its title charge, which has unexpectedly emerged this season.

Impact on the Team

Losing key players like Tavernier, Barisic, or Lundstram would undoubtedly have an impact on the team’s dynamics. However, it could also create opportunities for younger players or new signings to step up and make a difference. Rangers have already set out their intentions to make one loan signing permanent this summer, indicating a desire to build a stronger, more cohesive squad ¹.
