Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers have signed eight players this summer, but are there more in the pipeline?

Rangers Manager Steven Gerrard looks on during the pre season friendly match between Rangers and Oxford United  at Ibrox Stadium on July 07, 2019 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has suggested that Filip Helander may not be his last signing of the summer transfer window.

Gerrard signed the Sweden international in a £3 million deal last week.

In doing so, Rangers completed their eighth summer signing [BBC Sport] in terms of permanent and loan additions.

Gerrard has improved the Gers’ squad in a major way and they should, in theory, pose a much bigger threat to Celtic, who are going for a ninth successive Premiership title this season.

And although the Rangers manager admits that he’s ‘near enough’ done in the market, Gerrard hints that there could be more incomings.

He told The Glasgow Evening Times: “In terms of incomings, we are near enough done. I say near enough – you are never done as a manager. But there won’t be much more activity in terms of incomings.”

If Gerrard does sign another player, it could well be a striker.

The Ibrox side look set to lose Kyle Lafferty and the 39-year-old manager will be left with only Alfredo Morelos and Jermain Defoe as striking options.

Given Defoe’s age and Morelos’s temperament, Gerrard might be remiss if he didn’t consolidate that position with the addition of a third hitman.
