Rangers to let two Super Eagles stars off the hook – Report

Record SPFL Champions, Rangers, are considering parting ways with two Super Eagles stars at the end of the season as a new era beckons, Soccernet.ng reports.

Cyriel Dessers and Leon Balogun have been faithful Gers servants since the summer of 2023, and have been important players in their UEFA Europa League campaign this season.

However, this season’s Europa League journey might end up being the final one for the duo in Scotland, as a club takeover is on the cards.

According to Ibrox News, Rangers are edging closer to a takeover from 49ers Enterprises, and this could see the club experience several changes, ranging from replacing Barry Ferguson as head coach to overhauling their current squad.

It is also widely reported that several first-team players could depart to make way for new signings, and this could put an end to Dessers’ and Balogun’s time in Scotland.

Rangers have had an abysmal season domestically, but Cyriel Dessers is one of the core reasons why they’re still competing in the UEFA Europa League.

Until a proper announcement is made, the players will only have to wait and see where their future lies. For now, no contract talks are currently on the table, and Leon Balogun’s deal runs out in June.
