Rangers are gearing up for a significant summer, with major developments unfolding behind the scenes at Ibrox.
Alongside the anticipated completion of a takeover by the San Francisco 49ers, the club is expected to be very active in the transfer market, with numerous arrivals and departures likely. A key decision also looms regarding the appointment of a permanent manager ahead of next season.
Kieran Dowell edging towards permanent Birmingham City move
Kieran Dowell, who joined Birmingham City on loan in January, has impressed during his spell in England, netting four goals and registering three assists in 17 appearances across all competitions. He added to his tally on Saturday, 6 April, further enhancing his reputation.
With Birmingham firmly in the race for a play-off spot, they are eager to make his stay permanent. While there’s no purchase clause in the current loan deal, Rangers are reportedly open to offloading the 27-year-old this summer.
Rangers could profit from Dowell’s rising stock
Dowell will enter the final year of his contract after this summer, leaving Rangers with a crucial decision—sell now while his market value is high or risk losing him for nothing in 2026.
Given his impressive form and Birmingham’s promotion push, the English side may be willing to meet Rangers’ asking price. For the Ibrox club, this summer presents a prime opportunity to cash in on a player unlikely to have a long-term future in Glasgow.
