Arsenal have their eyes on Rangers ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
The Gers have endured an underwhelming season, ending it trophyless, with Barry Ferguson taking charge of his final game as interim manager against Hibernian at Easter Road in the Scottish Premiership on 17 May.
Ianis Hagi’s time at Ibrox has ended, with key players like Vaclav Cerny and Leon Balogun also not a part of the Light Blues’ plans ahead of the upcoming campaign.
Despite a poor season at the Glaswegian outfit, some players did stand out, and the Bears’ hierarchy will have to brace for offers next summer.

The news outlet reports (21 May) that the Gers could recoup a seven-figure fee (£1million-plus) and additional add-ons if a deal can be agreed at Ibrox next summer.
It’s been claimed that Everton and Ipswich Town are also monitoring the 17-year-old, who’s been an essential player for Steven Smith’s youth side.
The Scottish goalkeeper signed his first professional contract at the Glaswegian outfit in January, and the Bears could look to extend it.
Ibrox faithful desperate to see new owners’ transfer plans
Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises are almost done with their takeover, and Dave King is 90 per cent sure it’ll happen.
Significant changes have already occurred at the Gers, with Ferguson leaving and some key players not deemed part of the future.
Kevin Thelwell and Gretar Steinsson are searching for a new permanent head coach, and it’ll be interesting to see who is hired.
Rangers fans will want to see the US consortium invest heavily in the upcoming transfer window and build a squad capable of competing with Celtic.
Scottish Premiership table Points
1. Celtic 92
2. Rangers 75
The top two in the Scottish Premiership this season.
While the Light Blues had a decent European campaign, they ended the season 17 points behind their Old Firm rivals, who won their first consecutive Scottish Premiership title.
It’ll be interesting to see what happens with the Bears’ goalkeeping department, as Ferguson lost faith in Jack Butland towards the end of the season.
Liam Kelly has done well when called upon, but the Glaswegian outfit arguably need a better shot-stopper to be successful again.
McGuire has shown a lot of potential at Ibrox, but in the short term, his sale could boost the Gers’ coffers to improve the first team.
