Heart of Midlothian's Scottish Premiership rivals Rangers have spent £24m in the summer transfer window, with a net spend of £11.8m. The club has made 10 signings and 10 departures, with some big names leaving. This summer's spending spree has taken time to adapt to manager Derek McInnes' style of play, potentially needing a pragmatic approach to embed the new players into the starting lineup.
What happened?
An analysis of Rangers' summer spending spree reveals by just how much Andrew Cavenagh and Co have backed Derek McInnes. The Ibrox giants currently have 10 incomings and 10 outgoings, with some noticeable big names leaving. This number of squad changes will take time to adapt to McInnes' style of play, potentially needing a pragmatic approach to embed them into the starting lineup.
Why it matters for Heart of Midlothian
Another question some Rangers fans may have is whether the new additions have actually bolstered the starting lineup, as some believe the incoming transfers have not improved the squad's overall quality. Rangers are most likely not finished with their transfer dealings this summer as they have gone on record to be looking to bring in another five players this transfer window before the deadline on September 3.
What comes next?
But how much money have they brought in and, crucially, how much have they spent as they attempt to restore the club's reputation? Rangers are currently 3 points behind leaders Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, with a goal difference of +3. The team is also dealing with injuries to Ageu, Craig Halkett, Malachi Fagan-Walcott, and Stephen Kingsley.
League standing
Rangers are currently 4th in the Premiership, with 3 points from 2 games, and a recent form of WL.
