Rangers have confirmed their retained list for 2023.
Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent are the headline names who will leave Ibrox this summer.
It's been expected for some time that both players would depart Rangers at the end of their contracts.
But it has now been confirmed in a statement by the club.
#RangersFC can today announce Scott Arfield, Filip Helander, Ryan Kent, Allan McGregor and Alfredo Morelos will leave the club upon the expiry of their contracts this summer.
— Rangers Football Club (@RangersFC) May 23, 2023
💙 The players have given excellent service & will move on with the thanks of everyone at Rangers.
They will be joined by several other major first-team players such as Allan McGregor, who appears to be retiring, Scott Arfield, and Filip Helander.
Steven Davis - who has been out of action since December last year through injury - remains in talks over his future.

A club statement reads: "Each of the departing players has given the club excellent service and will move on to the next stage in their careers with the warmest wishes and thanks of everyone at Ibrox and the Rangers Training Centre.
"Tributes to the departing players will be paid at tomorrow’s match with Hearts. Additional acknowledgements to those leaving will continue on the club’s digital platforms in the coming weeks, with Allan McGregor to be further recognised in his testimonial match with Newcastle on July 18."
Michael Beale is due to speak to the media in the coming hours and will address the departures then.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
