Rangers look primed to step up Luke Graham pursuit after Nasser Djiga exit news
Rangers look set to lose Nasser Djiga in the summer when his loan deal expires.
Currently, the centre-back is on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are set to be relegated to the Championship this season.
Djiga has been one of Rangers’ most improved players this season, and has really come into his own during the last few months.
However, the Express and Star on 10 April have stated that the defender is set to return to Wolves in the summer as Rob Edwards can assess his ability.
As a result, Rangers’ interest in Luke Graham will surely intensify as they look to find a potential replacement for Djiga.

VISIT THE RANGERS TRANSFER HUBRangers must look to make quick move for Luke Graham
Graham has been one of Dundee’s standout players this season as they look to stay clear of the relegation zone.
The defender has played 36 matches in all competitions this campaign, scoring three times and assisting two goals.
| Luke Graham fact file | |
| Place of birth | Scone, Scotland |
| Age | 22 |
| Height | Six foot three inches |
| Positions | Centre-back, left back |
| Clubs played for | Dundee, Lochee United (loan), Albion Rovers (loan), Montrose (loan), Falkirk (loan) |
| Honours | East Region Junior League Cup x1, Scottish Championship x1 |
As a result, sides have started to take notice of the 22-year-old, including Rangers.
Now, with Djiga’s departure all but confirmed, the Gers have to look to make a move as soon as possible.
Rangers’ backline has been the bane of their season at times and has cost them numerous points.
Therefore, sorting out Djiga’s replacement early gives them time to embed themselves into the club and get used to Danny Rohl’s tactics.
Given that Graham is in form, has played in the Scottish Premiership, and only has a year left on his contract, a move now would be wise.
Who else have Rangers been linked with?
Former Man United chief scout Mick Brown exclusively told Football Insider that Rangers could exploit their link with Leeds to get a deal for Joe Gelhardt over the line.
The Peacocks star is currently on loan to Hull City in the Championship, where he has put them well in the promotion race, as the club sits fifth in the table.
Overall, he has netted 13 goals for the Tigers and picked up five assists in 36 matches.
However, it remains to be seen if Rangers would be able to get a deal over the line, with his form attracting widespread interest from the footballing world.
