Rangers are close to signing Vanja Dragojevic.

The club is in advanced talks to make the 20-year-old Serbian midfielder their seventh summer signing.

Dragojevic, who has been capped by Serbia, has attracted interest from clubs around Europe.

He has already worn the captain's armband at Partizan Belgrade in his short career.

If the deal goes through, he will join Cammy Devlin, Lawrence Shankland, Ben Godfrey, Ivor Pandur, Ross McCrorie, and Dan Neil as new signings at the club this summer.

Rangers are also looking to strengthen in wide areas and at centre-back.

Derek McInnes spoke after the friendly draw against Johor Darul Ta'zim, saying: "The club has done brilliant work at this moment in time to try and bring in the additions that we clearly needed from last season.

"We want to make sure we are a more rounded squad when it comes to the bit that we're ready, but the work will be ongoing.

"We're still looking to try and get a couple of things done ahead of the St. Étienne game on Wednesday."

"We're two weeks away from Dundee United, and I feel that the fitness of the players is a lot better and stronger to where we want it to be, from when we set off a couple of weeks ago."

Bids are expected for Nico Raskin this summer, with Connor Barron and Mo Diomande entering the final two years of their contracts.

This could open up the possibility of another midfield addition later in the window.

In their friendly match in Spain, Tochi Chukwuani scored twice for McInnes’ side, while Shankland wore the captain’s armband.

The match ended in a 2-2 draw.

The club is hoping to have more signings in place before their friendly match against St. Étienne on Wednesday.

Two weeks remain until their match against Dundee United, and the team is working to ensure they are in the best shape possible for the beginning of the season.
