What a different season it could have been for Rangers if Danilo had been fit throughout.
Injury has hampered the Brazilian striker’s debut season in Glasgow, resulting in only 12 league appearances for Rangers.
Rangers paid Feyenoord £6 million for Danilo, the club’s most expensive transfer from last summer, and the striker proved to be a worthwhile investment during his limited appearances.
However, with a fractured cheekbone and a severe knee injury, money has yet to bring any major return.
Danilo has been seen regaining his form at the Rangers Training Centre. While the season has ended for some, pre-season is well underway for others.
Danilo and Cortes pump up Rangers comebacks.
Danilo, a Rangers striker, shared a footage on Instagram of himself training with Colombian winger Oscar Cortes.
Both South American players had their Rangers careers cut short by injuries and are now rebuilding for next season.
Rangers are reportedly in talks with RC Lens to extend Cortes’ loan deal at Ibrox, while Danilo will remain at the club.
Meanwhile, Danilo and Oscar Cortes are pushing up their fitness returns in preparation for a rigorous Rangers preseason.
Oscar’s presence at the Rangers Training Centre suggests a potential extension of his stay at Ibrox, however this is not confirmed.

Rangers look to Latin America as a transfer market.
Rangers’ Ibrox squad is also taking on a Latin American influence.
Panamanian center-back Jose Cordoba, who just joined Danilo at Rangers, is expected to undergo a physical this week as well.
Jose Cifuentes, whose move to Ibrox failed, is now at Cruzeiro in Brazil. However, a return to the club is possible.
Rangers are becoming increasingly prominent in this section of the world as the club seeks to recruit cheap talent before selling players for large profits.
All of these names are young enough to leave a lasting effect at Rangers, and they fit the club’s player trading concept.
Danilo and Oscar Cortes might be like two new signings this summer, and fans are eager to see what this attacking duo can bring to Ibrox.
