Rangers face a pivotal summer as Danny Rohl and the club's recruitment team prepare to reshape a squad that still lacks the foundations required to challenge consistently at the top end of Scottish football.

That was the central theme of discussion in the latest morning briefing, with attention focused on the areas of the squad most in need of strengthening ahead of the new campaign.

While Rangers have already moved to secure Lawrence Shankland, there was a consensus that significant work remains, particularly in defence and midfield. The need for a commanding number six was highlighted as a priority, with the club still searching for the type of controlling presence they have arguably lacked since Steven Davis.



Questions were also raised over the futures of key figures such as Nico Raskin and Mohamed Diomande. A strong World Cup could increase interest in Raskin, while Diomande's long-term role continues to divide opinion.

The discussion also touched on the importance of building a stronger spine throughout the squad. Rather than simply adding numbers, Rangers are looking for players capable of becoming week-to-week starters and providing the consistency that has been missing in recent seasons.

There was optimism regarding several academy prospects, with Findlay Curtis among those expected to play a greater role next season as the club looks to strengthen its pathway to the first team.

Elsewhere, Bojan Miovski's comments about his desire for more game time prompted debate over his future, while planned upgrades at Ibrox and the club's wider efforts to establish a clearer football identity were also examined as preparations for the new season continue.
