According to reports, Rangers are prepared to start their summer operations by letting one guy move out of Ibrox permanently.

Rangers wants to win the Scottish Premiership.

Rangers are aiming for only their second Scottish Premiership championship since 2011 in what may end up being a remarkable season.

After their match was postponed over the weekend, Celtic moved up to the top of the Scottish Premier League. However, they still have to play Rangers before the season is finished, and a victory there may go a long way toward guaranteeing the championship.

In addition, they have the greatest defensive record in the division, having allowed only 16 goals in 29 games while maintaining an astounding 17 clean sheets. Less spectacular was the Scottish team’s performance in Europe, as they lost 1-0 at home to Benfica after securing a thrilling 2-2 draw away from home.

Naturally, there has been a lot of conjecture about some of Rangers’ players due to Philippe Clement’s outstanding performance, but the team is more than eager to part ways with one player this summer in order to earn money to keep enhancing their roster.

Sam Lammers transfer update

One man who Rangers won’t stop leaving this summer is Sam Lammers, who is currently out on loan in the Eredivisie with Utrecht. The 26-year-old striker never really found his feet at Ibrox following a £3.5m move from Atalanta, scoring just twice in 17 SPL outings.

As per Football Insider, the Ibrox outfit are now planning to accept a permanent offer for Lammers and that ‘all signs now point’ to his departure from the club, with Clement ‘unlikely to change his mind on the forward’s future’.

Having already loaned Fabio Silva from Wolves, Rangers could well have a ready-made replacement should they be able to negotiate a permanent deal for the Portuguese striker, who has already become a firm fan favourite in Glasgow.

Immediately sent out on loan in January, Lammers has found better form in the Netherlands, starting each of Utrecht’s 10 Eredivisie games and grabbing 3 goals and 3 assists, including the winner in their most recent outing.

Former Ibrox scout Neil Murray has dubbed Lammers as ‘really talented’, insisting that former boss Michael Beale didn’t do enough to get the best out of him.

“Lammers is a technical player and I actually think a really talented player. If he was given time to play every game as a sort of No 10 off a striker, it would pay dividends. A bit similar to Tom Rogic in a certain way. It’s the manager’s choice. He doesn’t necessarily play him every game but I’d be tempted to do that and give him the run.”

However, that talent doesn’t appear to be best-suited to Scottish football, and with Clement happy for him to leave for good, a move away seems likely just 12 months after arriving.

Lammers is under contract at Ibrox until 2027, but they are likely to be looking for someone else to take on his £20,000 per week wage from next season.
