Rangers crashed out of the Champions League for a variety of reasons with Philippe Clement frustrated at losing out on an enlarged transfer war chest.
The manager will have to do it the hard way now and move players out who want to leave or who have been deemed surplus to requirements.
Senior players like Connor Goldson and Sam Lammers were replaced quickly with Robin Propper and Vaclav Cerny, however, there is still a lot of work to be done to the squad if success is to be brought back to Ibrox.
Rangers can still add quality despite Champions League blow
What the loss to Dynamo Kyiv has done, is serve as a reminder that the shortage of quality available to the Gers boss is restricting his ability to move the club forward.
Money might be tight, but there is still quality available if Nils Koppen shops in the right places.
These players are either unattached or have been on Rangers radar before and wouldn’t break the bank.
Brandon Williams
With nearly 50 appearances for Man Utd, the 23-year old England Under-21 international has a solid reputation down south and would provide competition for Ridvan Yilmaz whilst covering the Turk’s injury enforced absence.
This would also allow Jefte to stay higher up the pitch where he has impressed.
Williams is available immediately on a Bosman.
Renato Tapia
A name that might be familiar due to his links with Celtic, the 85-times capped Peru international is hugely experienced and, at 29-years old, the defensive midfielder is capable of playing at centre-half still has plenty of miles left in the tank.
Koppen should also be aware of his talents given his time in the Eredivisie with Feyenoord, Willem II and Twente.
Out of contract, he could be a shrew acquisition.
