Rangers duo Kieran Dowell and Ben Davies could reportedly depart the club on a permanent basis this summer.
The pair are currently on loan at English League One outfit Birmingham City, where they have helped break the record for the number of points gained in a single EFL season.

Birmingham are heading back to the Championship next term, and they have 'discussed' the permanent acquisitions of Dowell and Davies, claims BirminghamWorld.
Indeed, it is said that because Rangers weren't keen on keeping the duo when initially loaning them out, transfer negotiations could potentially be 'straightforward'.
Davies has spent the full campaign on loan at St Andrew's.
Dowell, on the other hand, made the move mid-season after being deemed surplus to requirements at Ibrox. He has since played 23 times for his loan club, scoring five goals and assisting as many.
Birmingham boss Chris Davies made his stance on Dowell's situation clear in March: "He’s definitely someone I have been really encouraged by since he’s come in and from my point of view I want players like that here," he said [Birmingham Live].
"My communication is always around that stuff with Craig (Gardner - director of football), squad management and planning and who I think can really help us, and I think Kieran has done really well.
"I don’t know the exact context of what’s happening there with him, but it’s definitely something we will have to look into."
