Rangers accept Robin Propper transfer offer as player faced with decision

Rangers have accepted an offer from FC Twente for Robin Propper with the player now faced with a decision on his future.

The centre-back has been linked with a return to his former club all summer, with figures at the Dutch side openly speaking on their interest.

Propper was awaiting the chance to speak to new manager Russell Martin about his plans for him before making any decision on his future.

However, the Englishman has confirmed a bid has been accepted.

Martin admits game time would be limited for the 31-year-old after the signings of Nasser Djiga and Emmanuel Fernandez. The club also hope to conclude a deal for Leicester's Conor Coady.

Speaking in today's press conference, Martin said: "We accepted a bid from [FC Twente], so I think it's just a case of Robin deciding if that's what he wants and agreeing on personal terms and stuff," Martin said.

"I've been really impressed with him as a guy, but I think obviously we signed some centre-halves, so it's going to be difficult for him to play football.

"So I think if it happens, it's a good move for him, and if it doesn't, it will be because he's decided it's not what's right for him and maybe he'll look for something else.”

Meanwhile, the Rangers manager has also confirmed they are very close to sealing the signing of winger Djeidi Gassama from Sheffield Wednesday.
