Robin Propper is on his way to FC Twente after a lengthy saga

His move from Ibrox after just a year was held up due to a reported stalemate between the player and Rangers about the remaining time of his contract, because he would be on a less lucrative deal in the Netherlands.
But the Eredivisie club appear to have resolved the issue by offering the 31-year-old a longer deal and he will end his unsuccessful spell at Ibrox.
Propper played 115 matches for Twente between 2021 and 2024 and was the club's captain.
However, he failed to nail down a regular spot at Rangers, despite scoring in an Old Firm win against Celtic in January and he only started 22 league games.
And he will finally seal a departure as Russell Martin continues his rebuilding process at Rangers.

Man Utd could be signing £60m striker who team-mates claim is better than Erling Haaland
Manchester United are keen to sign a new centre forward this summer and currently Benjamin Sesko - a man some believe is better than Erling Haaland - in their crosshairs Signing a player compared to Erling Haaland is one thing - but signing one many believe is better? Now that's a mouthwatering prospect. For Manchester United, that prospect may become reality if they land Benjamin Sesko this summer. The RB Leipzig striker, who is being linked with a blockbuster £60million move to Old Trafford, had the unenviable task of filling Haaland's shoes at Red Bull Salzburg. In just half a season in Austria, a teenage Haaland smashed 28 goals in 22 games before sealing a career-launching switch to Borussia Dortmund - turning down United in the process. A year later, Sesko arrived at Salzburg with the same towering frame, explosive playing style, and sky-high expectations. The comparisons to Haaland were inevitable. And while he wasn't quite as ruthless in front of goal, Sesko made just as big an impression - and, in the eyes of some, an even bigger one. "Such comparisons motivate me and give me energy," the Slovenian said in 2021. "They do not represent pressure. I will listen and learn so I can be even better than he is. "My team-mates at the club tell me that Haaland and I are very similar, especially in terms of speed. Most of them even tell me that I'm better than him!" Sesko's rise hasn't been as meteoric as Haaland's, but if he secures a Premier League move this summer, he'll have done so at the same age his Norwegian counterpart made the leap. Arsenal looked set to sign the 22-year-old earlier in the window, but ultimately pivoted to Viktor Gyokeres. Liverpool and Chelsea have also shown interest in Sesko, but after signing Hugo Ekitike and Liam Delap respectively, both clubs now look out of the running. This has given United something of a free run at the striker, but a deal is far from guaranteed. The Red Devils have already splashed £133m on attacking reinforcements, bringing in Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo - and with concerns about the club's financial situation lingering, any further moves must be approached with caution. Then there's the matter of convincing Sesko himself. Without Champions League football on offer, United are at a disadvantage against several domestic and European rivals. And with the striker tied to RB Leipzig until 2029, neither he nor the club are under pressure to make a decision quickly. United will also be hoping Sesko, who scored 21 goals in all competitions last season, has had a change of heart since turning down a move to Old Trafford in 2023, opting instead for RB Leipzig - a decision he later attributed to concerns over United's style of play. "The thing is, I wasn't really involved in these kinds of conversations [about which club I would sign for]. But I think it was better to come [to RB Leipzig]," Sesko admitted in 2024. "It was very important for me to go to a place that plays a similar style of football. I already knew what I had to do and didn't have to go through a whole learning process again." Now, with a new manager, a fresh attacking core, and a point to prove, United are hoping the timing - and the project - feel different this time around. If they can convince Sesko that Old Trafford is where he can become not just the next Haaland, but the first Sesko, it could mark the beginning of a new era - one built not just on reputation or comparisons, but on potential fully realised in red.
