Rangers are working on securing two more major signings before the window shuts, Football Insider understands.

The Scottish champions completed the signing of midfielder John Lundstram on a free transfer last week after the earlier capture of forward Fashion Sakala.

Ibrox sources have told Football Insider that the club hierarchy are preparing to secure two more senior signings but they are dependent on potential departures as well as the club's progress in the Champions League qualifiers.

Rangers are braced for bids for their first-team stars over the coming weeks, with Alfredo Morelos still regarded as the most likely to go.

But that would depend upon the club's asking price of around £13million being met for the Colombian.

There is also interest in Glen Kamara, Ryan Kent and Borna Barisic as well as Connor Goldson, although the centre-back is expected to sign a new contract.

Should Rangers lose Morelos, they would need to replace him and the club are assessing potential striker targets.

Manager Steven Gerrard and director of football Ross Wilson are also in the market for a wide attacker who can provide pace and penatration.

There is an acceptance that the current squad is not strong enough to make a serious impact in the Champions League group stage, were Rangers to make it that far.

Talks have been hold over potential signings, and Rangers are well placed to make a move if they were to lose one of their stars.

There is expected to be some movement in terms of outgoings from this week and that could herald some major changes.
