Rangers and Steven Gerrard have already made eight signings this summer and he’s given the green light to make another big splash.

Rangers spent a whopping £3.5m on Swedish international centre-back Filip Helander last week and spent another £2m bringing in Joe Aribo from Charlton despite Premier League interest.

When managing director Stewart Robertson was asked if there was cash for another big signing, he gave a resounding yes.

“Yes, absolutely,” said Robertson. “Steven said that he wanted to buy another player because that is the case.

“It is down to the guys identifying who they might want to bring in and bringing that to the board.

“Steven and his team have been central to moving things forward and there is no doubt he has increased the profile of the club.

“He has such a presence in the football world and that is fundamental to us being able to sign players like Joe Aribo and Filip Helander, Sweden’s international centre-half.

“No disrespect to the boys that were here before because the club was in a different position. But we are now in a situation where we are able to sign these players.”

However, Robertson wouldn’t comment whether or not Rangers would be willing to part with Alfredo Morelos or captain James Tavernier this summer.

Daniel Candeias left the club on Monday for Turkish side Genclerbirligi in a £250,000 move.

Rangers will also look to get rid of Kyle Lafferty, Graham Dorrans, Eros Grezda, Jason Holt, and Joe Dodoo this summer.
