Rangers must accelerate Casper Widell deal amid Luke Graham latest
Rangers should pull the plug on signing Dundee defender Luke Graham in this summer's transfer window.
The 22-year-old centre-back has been linked with the Gers over the last few months, but there seems to be no movement regarding his arrival at Ibrox.
As things stand, the Light Blues are yet to make any further additions to their squad since announcing Lawrence Shankland's move from Hearts in the summer.
It would be wise for the Ibrox recruitment team to switch their focus to Excelsior defender Casper Widell, as a deal for Graham looks unlikely at this point.
There has been continued silence over the Scottish centre-back's situation in recent days and the uncertainty speaks loudly.
Rangers have clear Luke Graham transfer answer
Graham clearly doesn't seem determined to sign for the Gers, as evidenced by the lack of progress on a potential deal with Dundee.
Shankland wanted the move to the Light Blues and worked towards completing it, but the same urgency is nowhere to be seen from the centre-back.
If the young centre-back really wanted the move to the Glaswegian outfit, he would have undoubtedly found a way by now to reach an agreement with them.
Football Insider understands that Portsmouth are also interested in Graham and it feels like the Govan side aren't a priority for the Scot defender.
Danny Rohl has Casper Widell transfer priority at Ibrox
Sources have told Football Insider that Rangers hope to strike a quick deal for Widell in the summer to win the race for his signature.
Danny Rohl has seen Nasser Djiga and Derek Cornelius return to their parent clubs after their loan spells in G51, leaving Emmanuel Fernandez and John Souttar as the only two natural centre-back options at the German manager's disposal.
Strengthening the defence should be a priority for the Gers in the coming weeks and they have no time to waste before the 2026 World Cup starts, especially with the full-back positions also in need of reinforcements.
The summer tournament may hinder the Glaswegian outfit's ability to do the business they want before pre-season as Rohl looks to build a competitive squad to win silverware at Ibrox.
