Twente Enschede have made the first steps in their bid to bring Rangers defender Robin Propper back to the club after making an enquiry to the Ibrox side.
The Dutch stopper had an indifferent first season since his move from the Netherlands and although he ended up making 42 appearances in all competitions, he was never properly able to establish himself as first choice.
Twente are desperate to bring him back to the club where he is regarded as a hero after captaining the side before he left for Glasgow.

They are losing Celtic loan star Gustaf Lagerbielke because they cannot meet their £2.5 million asking price and also Indonesian international defender Mees Hilgers, who has been linked with a string of European clubs.
Reports in his Dutch homeland have indicated Twente have now reached out to Rangers to see if they can do a cut-price deal for the 31-year-old, who helped get them into European football in his final season for the club.
Propper and his agents have been made aware of the interest and he could be the latest Rangers player to leave with an Ibrox clear-out now well underway under their new American ownership.
