"Rangers head coach Danny Rohl expects "the next three, four days to be a little crazy" as they try to assemble the best possible squad for the Scottish title run-in. Rohl's team visit Porto in their final Europa League match on Thursday evening and, with Rangers unable to progress, his pre-match news conference was dominated instead by questions about possible ins and outs."
"Asked how many players he wanted to bring in before deadline day, he said: "I have a number in my head. [Chairman] Andrew [Cavanagh] knows it, the recruitment knows it," Rohl said. "Some moments you think you have a yes, then maybe not. But, all in all, I think, at the end of the window, we should have a good number of players.""
"Asked whether further signings depended on selling fringe players from the squad, he added: "Not really, but of course we know we have a big squad and this one thing will influence the other. "This is, of course, a topic, but in general, the new signings will not influence the final decision-making from our side. I think, if we can do something, we will do it.""
Danny Rohl expects a hectic few days as Rangers seek to assemble the strongest possible squad for the Scottish title run-in. The team travel to Porto for a final Europa League match with no chance of progression, shifting focus to transfer activity. Rohl confirmed interest in adding an attacking player and said he has a target number of signings known to the chairman and recruitment staff. Offers for Djeidi Gassama and Youssef Chermiti were reportedly rejected and the club intends to keep its best players. Signings are not strictly dependent on sales, though squad size influences decisions. A clean sheet is the priority in Porto.
