Rangers will head into the 2025 summer transfer window needing to be creative with the business they complete due to financial constraints.
Their position could improve if they make further progress in the Europa League, and they have given themselves a good chance of reaching the last-16.
The Rangers vs Union Saint-Gilloise fixture will determine whether they make it through automatically or will need to navigate an additional play-off round.
However, whichever route they take, Rangers have every chance of swelling their coffers by keeping themselves in contention to win the Europa League.
Regardless of what happens in UEFA’s second tier competition this season, the Scottish Premiership giants must make shrewd signings during the summer transfer window.
With that in mind, read on as we identify five talented players who will be free agents at the end of the 2024/25 season.
Christian Eriksen – Manchester United
Christian Eriksen would need to agree to a sizeable salary cut to join Rangers, but he would be an excellent acquisition if the club can persuade him to move to Scotland.
Although the Danish international has lost a yard of pace, he still has the ability to be an influential figure in the Scottish Premiership.
The opportunity to crown his glittering career by helping Rangers knock Celtic off their perch in Scotland could be a tempting proposition for the midfielder.
Tyrhys Dolan – Blackburn Rovers
Tyrhys Dolan has shown no signs of agreeing a new contract with Blackburn Rovers and looks likely to be heading elsewhere this summer.
Dolan has helped Rovers mount an unlikely bid for a play-off place in the Championship this season and could be a standout performer in Scotland.
His finishing undoubtedly needs work, but his ability to beat defenders and willingness to press from the front would endear him to Rangers fans.
Emil Riis – Preston North End
Championship promotion chasers Sheffield United and Sunderland have been linked with a move for Emil Riis during the January transfer window.
The Preston North End striker is in the final six months of his contract and has not ruled out staying at Deepdale if they offer him a new deal.
However, Rangers should throw their hat in the ring to secure the 26-year-old’s services if he ends up as a free agent this summer.
Oliver Valaker Edvardsen – Go Ahead Eagles
Rangers’ technical director Nils Koppen will be familiar with Oliver Valaker Edvardsen having previously worked as PSV Eindhoven’s head of scouting.
The Go Ahead Eagles winger has bagged eight goals and four assists in 14 Eredivisie appearances this season but could be available on a free transfer in the summer.
Rangers need to improve their attacking options on the left flank and the Norwegian has the right profile to be a big hit in the Scottish Premiership.
Dominic Hyam – Blackburn Rovers
Blackburn’s failure to agree new contracts with some of their top players could work to Rangers’ advantage this summer.
Dominic Hyam has been a consistent performer since joining the Championship outfit from Coventry City for an undisclosed fee in August 2022.
The Scotland international has never previously played in his homeland and may relish the opportunity to showcase his defensive talents with Rangers.
