Rangers have announced the departure of 13 academy players who have failed to make the grade.
Leading the exodus are a trio who have had first team exposure - Adam Devine, Cole McKinnon and Archie Stevens. All three had been out on loan at Queen's Park, Ayr United and Dunfermline respectively.
The other youngsters moving on are Lewis Budinauckas, Jay Hogarth, Jacob Pazikas, Jack Harkness, Kristian Webster, Leyton Grant, Kerr Robertson, Darren McInally, Grant Leitch and Harry Weir.

Devine had a run of top team appearances, and impressed to a degree, during the 2022-23 season and then headed out to Motherwell on loan last year, picking up further Premiership experience. But it was down to the second tier last season and the full-back hasn't done enough to stay on at Ibrox.
McKinnon is another who has a decent amount of first-team experiences and was even trusted by Philippe Clement against Benfica in the Europa League last season.
But they will now be on the hunt for a new club along with the other 11 confirmed as leaving this morning.
A statement from the club reads: "Academy can today confirm the departure of a number of players who will now continue their footballing journey elsewhere.
"Lewis Budinauckas, Jay Hogarth, Jacob Pazikas, Jack Harkness, Kristian Webster, Leyton Grant, Kerr Robertson, Darren McInally, Grant Leitch and Harry Weir are all moving on.
"Adam Devine, Cole McKinnon and Archie Stevens, all of whom featured for the first-team at various points in their Rangers careers, will also depart the club upon the expiration of their contracts, and we thank each for their contributions over the years.
"We wish all the departing players the very best in their future endeavours and they will always be welcome back at Rangers."
