Rangers pursue Casper Widell to strengthen defense amid transfer window

Rangers aim to address their defensive issues by targeting Excelsior center-back Casper Widell, with a potential deal worth £2 million to £2.5 million. After a disappointing third-place finish in the Scottish Premiership, the club is keen to secure the 23-year-old, who captained his team during the recent season. The urgency stems from the return of loaned defenders, leaving Rangers with limited senior options in defense. Interest from Derby County and Blackburn Rovers adds competitive pressure to finalize the transfer. The club hopes to conclude an agreement quickly to bolster their backline before the summer transfer window closes.
