Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers have signed four players this summer, but further additions seem imminent.

Aberdeen's Ryan Jack

Writing in The Glasgow Evening Times, Derek Johnstone has lauded Rangers’ acquisition of Ryan Jack.

The 25-year-old joined Rangers earlier this month following the expiration of his Aberdeen contract.

He was Pedro Caixinha’s second signing at Ibrox. Veteran centre-back Bruno Alves had already joined, while Dalcio and Fabio Cardoso have followed the duo to Glasgow.

And more signings seem very likely.

The fifth Gers’ signing of the close-season could be Norwich City’s Graham Dorrans, with The Express reporting this week that Caixinha was readying a £1m bid for the Scot.

And although Johnstone – who had two different spells at Ibrox – is loving the signing of Jack, the 65-year-old would like to see the Championship midfielder playing alongside him next season.

“I’m also pleased though with the Scottish recruit brought in so far in Ryan Jack,” he told The GET.

“What a player he is, and if they can get Graham Dorrans into that midfield too, then that looks a cracking partnership.

“Hopefully the presence of some high quality Scottish players can help ease the transition of a lot of these foreign lads into the team and into the new culture they have been brought into.”
