With Rangers finding out the devastating news that right-back Neraysho Kasanwirjo could be sidelined for up to six months after rupturing ligaments in his knee whilst on international duty, the expectation is that they will look to bring in a reinforcement when the January transfer window opens.

Injuries have plagued the defender, who missed Scotland's Euro 2024 campaign over the summer, but manager Sean Dyche was in no mood to talk about a transfer exit for the player when asked during a recent press conference.
