Rangers duo Scott Wright and Jon McLaughlin 'set' for transfer exit as Michael Beale begins rebuild

Scott Wright and Jon McLaughlin will be allowed to leave Rangers as part of the major summer revamp, according to reports.

Michael Beale confirmed after the Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Celtic that the Ibrox side face their biggest rebuild in several years with a number of ins and outs expected. Kieran Dowell of Norwich City is reportedly done with a three-year deal in place and medical already done while talks with Manchester United loanee Jack Butland are said to be at an advanced stage. Malik Tillman's loan agreement has a buy clause with the club yet to decide if they will action that while Morgan Whittaker is back in the frame and Nottingham Forest defender Jonathan Panzo a target report the Daily Record.

Beale is ready to clear the decks at the Light Blues with McLaughlin and Wright - still under contract at the club - falling into that category. The veteran goalkeeper has another year left on contract while Wright has a deal until summer 2025. With game time set to be limited for the duo they have a big decision to make whether to remain on the fringes or depart and search for first-team football.

Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent are unlikely to remain with Beale admitted as much as the weekend while Allan McGregor, Steven Davis, Scott Arfield, Filip Helander and Ryan Jack are another group of players who decisions need to be made on.

Rangers will end the season without a trophy following that Hampden semi-final defeat to Ange Postecoglou's side, who are now heavy favourites to go on and complete the Treble.

Jota scored the match-winning goal after a lapse in concentration from the Rangers backline was capitalised on by Daizen Maeda who superbly picked out his team-mate at the back post and he headed home to send the green and white end of the national stadium wild.

The Light Blues will now play out the final five games of the Premiership season before a big summer of transition with Champions League qualifiers to come early doors.
