“So, I’m sure ongoing discussions, if they are after the midfielder Yilmaz, that it would make things slightly easier for Rangers.”
Morelos sell-on fee
Rangers will have to give up a chunk of their earnings should Alfredo Morelos leave this summer.
The striker has been linked with a move away from Ibrox this summer, and according to Independiente Medellin chief Daniel Ossa Giraldo, the South American club still hold a sell-on clause.

“It is around 14 per cent which will be due to us when he is transferred from Rangers.”
Larsson on the move
Jordan Larsson is now set to complete a move to Schalke after Celtic passed up the opportunity to land him.
Larsson was linked with a move to Celtic Park, given the connection his father Henrik had with the Hoops.
But Celtic didn’t make a move, and Fabrizio Romano says he will now join Schalke, who sold Rabbi Matondo to Rangers this summer.
