Ridvan Yilmaz ‘reaches agreement' to leave Ibrox with another Rangers star eyed as takeover rebuild begins
WITH Rangers' long awaited American takeover finally complete, the wheels of change are already in motion. Just days after it was officially confirmed the 49ers had bought into the club, technical director Nils Koppen looks set to become the first casualty of the new regime. 4 Rangers' Ridvan Yilmaz could be set for a Besiktas return Credit: Getty 4 He and teammate Robin Propper, centre left, are reportedly both eyed for exits Credit: Willie Vass 4 He's contracted for another two years at Ibrox Credit: Willie Vass But an on-field rebuild seems likely as well as the US investors inject a financial boost into the team after a season of struggle which saw the Gers comfortably second best to rivals Celtic. And the first dominoes looking likely to fall in the squad are both defenders, according to reports. Vaclav Cerny has already waved goodbye as the pricey loan star is valued at around £9 million by parent club Wolfsburg. But the contracted Ibrox aces potentially looking at being offloaded are Robin Propper and Ridvan Yilmaz. The Dutch centre back was named by the technical director of FC Twente - whom he moved to Glasgow from - as someone who would fit the bill for them. They are looking at new central defenders as Celtic loanee Gustaf Lagerbielke does not look to be extending his stay. Speaking to the podcast De Ballen Verstand Arnold Bruggink said: 'Lagerbielke will most likely go back (to Celtic) too. That's what it looks like at the moment. '(We need) two central defenders, one of whom has to be a real leader, as far as I'm concerned. The profile you're looking at is that of Robin Pröpper. 'You need a leader from the back, which will give you a lot more stability.' The Dutchman has made more than 40 appearances since joining at the beginning of last season and is still signed up until next year. Rangers fans react as 49ers takeover completed 4 Propper to FC Twente would also be a return to a former club Credit: Getty Left-back Yilmaz is on the books until 2027 but is said to be destined for a return to his homeland Turkey. Aspor reports that the 24-year-old has agreed terms to re-join Besiktas who the Gers acquired him from three years ago. It also says the full back who has struggled with injury had 'requested facilitation' for the transfer to happen. Meanwhile in the dugout, the club are still without manager following interim boss Barry Ferguson's departure. Former player Russell Martin and David Ancelotti are still head-to-head according to the bookies as favourites to become the next manager.

Rangers player describes Ibrox experience as 'dream'
Jefte, a left-back signed from Fluminense last summer, was expected to serve as backup but ended up playing the majority of games due to Ridvan Yilmaz's recurring injuries. Despite some defensive flaws, the 21-year-old's talent has been recognised, even linking him with a potential move to Chelsea. However, Jefte has expressed his contentment with his experience at Ibrox. He admits to enjoying his time at the club, even though he has yet to win any silverware. Read more: Rangers star's exit 'likely' with two transfers offers on the table Russell Martin 'preparing possible Rangers backroom team' amid Ibrox links Jefte told Globo in his homeland: "My entire journey, since I arrived, has always been with the aim of trying to learn more and understand my position better. "Reaching the end of the season and seeing that it worked is gratifying. "I managed to become a different player, a better player who learned more and understood more." Jefte also expressed his satisfaction with his development as a player and his experiences in international competitions. He said: "This start to the year at Rangers has been wonderful, very special, even though our goal was to reach the finals and win titles, which unfortunately didn't happen. "What I'm experiencing is a dream, it's something I never imagined I'd experience so soon. "Despite being only 21 years old, I played in a European competition against big clubs. "I'm very happy and fulfilled with what I've done so far."
