It looks like Fabio Cardoso may be leaving Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers.
Linked-away Rangers centre-back Fabio Cardoso has not been included in Rangers’ squad for Thursday’s Europa League qualifier with FK Shkupi.
The Glasgow Evening Times reported last month that new Rangers boss Steven Gerrard was intent on selling the Portuguese defender this summer.
Gerrard has already spent the guts of £5 million on two centre-halves – Connor Goldson and Nikola Katic – in transfers which lend credence to suggestions that the 38-year-old has no plans for Cardoso.
And there might be further evidence of this now after the former midfielder omitted the Pedro Caixinha signing from Thursday’s encounter at Ibrox.
Not only that, but The Record have reported that Graham Dorrans will wear the number 4 shirt during the 2018-19 campaign, which was worn by the 24-year-old last season.
Ovie Ejaria, who joined the Gers on a season-long loan from Liverpool last month, will wear the number 10 shirt vacated by Dorrans.
Lee Wallace, Harry Forrester and Eduardo Herrera were also omitted from Gerrard’s squad.
Rangers’ squad in full:
Allan McGregor, Wes Foderingham, Jak Alnwick, James Tavernier, Connor Goldson, Lee Hodson, Jon Flanagan, Nikola Katic, Bruno Alves, Declan John, Graham Dorrans, Ryan Jack, Ovie Ejaria, Josh Windass, Andy Halliday, Jordan Rossiter, Daniel Candeias, Greg Docherty, Scott Arfield, Jamie Murphy, Alfredo Morelos, Glenn Middleton
