Rangers have landed Jordan Jones and Glen Kamara on pre-contract agreements.

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard reacts during the Ladbrookes Scottish Premiership match between Rangers and Celtic at Ibrox Stadium on December 29, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Rangers have enjoyed a busy start to the transfer window, securing four deals in the first seven days of the month.

The Gers went into the transfer window sitting joint-top of the Scottish Premiership table, and have landed two players to aid their title bid.

Veterans Steven Davis and Jermain Defoe have both signed, penning loan deals to come in and attempt to really challenge Celtic for top spot.

However, Rangers have also had one eye on the future, with Steven Gerrard and director of football Mark Allen swooping to sign Glen Kamara and Jordan Jones on pre-contract agreements.

Dundee midfielder Kamara and Kilmarnock winger Jones were set to become free agents in the summer, but Rangers have managed to move in and ensure that they head to Ibrox at the end of the season.

Allan and Gerrard have secured an incredibly clever double deal. Players in those positions – Lassana Coulibaly and Ryan Kent – are both only on loan, and are currently set to leave Ibrox in the summer.

Kamara fits as a perfect replacement for Coulibaly as a box-to-box midfielder, whilst Jones has the pace and skill to play on the left flank and be a threat in the final third like Kent has.

And Rangers have done it all without spending a penny on transfer fees. How often are top Scottish Premiership players, who can really make an impact at Ibrox, available for free?

Rather than need to head into the market to spend big money in the summer, Rangers have landed two players – who should contribute significantly – for free, and Gers fans should be delighted with the move, and with Gerrard and Allen for signing them.
