Rangers have reportedly secured Bailey Rice's commitment despite interest from clubs including Leeds United and Ajax. The 19-year-old midfielder, previously sidelined by a severe knee injury, is now expected to play a central role under new manager Derek McInnes. Danny Rohl, the former manager, helped convince Rice to sign a new deal before leaving for RB Salzburg. Given central midfield options, Rice's possible loan to Kilmarnock could provide him with valuable playing time. Rangers face uncertainty in the midfield, particularly with Nicolas Raskin attracting attention from Serie A's Atalanta.
