According to the Rangers Review, new Rangers manager Russell Martin intends to cooperate with sporting director Kevin Thelwell to make over five acquisitions this summer.
The Ibrox club quickly appointed a permanent replacement for Philippe Clement, who was fired in February after the 49ers Enterprises took over.
Former manager Steven Gerrard and Davide Ancelotti were the other two names on the three-man list that the club had prepared.
It was the former Southampton boss, though, who eventually got the nod and will now work with those above him to assemble a team that will be able to challenge Celtic for the domestic title next season.
The timely appointment will allow Martin to have a full pre-season, where he will get the chance to see the players he has at his disposal.
Martin will have his own style of play that he will want to implement and will try to bring in players that will suit his requirements
The minimum cap of new players will be five and they will go above it if budget permits.
| Person | Position |
|---|---|
| Russell Martin | Head coach |
| Matt Gill | Assistant head coach |
| Issame Charai | First team coach |
| Brian Gilmour | Pathways coach |
Some of their current crop of players have been linked with moves away, among whom are the likes of Ridvan Yilmaz, who is wanted by Besiktas, and defender Robin Propper.
Conor Coady, a seasoned defender for Leicester City, has been linked to a move to Glasgow.
Rangers’ goal this season is to aim to make it to the Champions League league stage, which might significantly increase their purchasing power.
Many Gers supporters have since given up on Martin, who was fired by Southampton earlier in the season for refusing to alter his style and strategy, which was preventing Saints from competing in the Premier League.
