Available on a free after release: Rangers must gazump Hibernian to complete striker signing
Transfer budget largely depleted
Making nine signings at Ibrox including the likes of Mexico internationals Eduardo Herrera and Carlos Pena as well as former Norwich midfielder Graham Dorrans, Caixinha’s transfer budget will be sparce.
With recruitment likely to continue for the remaining six weeks off the transfer window, the former Santos Laguna manager must look to secure a number of freebies or bargain deals.
After his release, Stokes is available on a free and would prove a top addition to the Gers side if Caixinha can tempt the nine-time Ireland international to move to Ibrox.
