Kris Boyd on 'shocking' Rangers transfer situation as major changes loom

Kris Boyd has almost resigned to Rangers watching Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent walk out of the club for nothing this summer.

A move that he has described as "shocking".

Two of the Light Blues' better players will leave for free at the end of this season as things stand, with neither showing any signs of agreeing on a new deal.

They're not the only players who could leave the club for free this summer, with the likes of Ryan Jack, Scott Arfield and Allan McGregor all out of contract soon too.

And while there will be many players who move on under Michael Beale in the coming months, Boyd reckons there is one player on the list who should definitely be signed back up.

He told Sky Sports: "The decision will be made already. There will definitely have been discussions. But the longer it goes on, it looks as if Alfredo Morelos and Kent will walk out of the door for nothing which is shocking.

"It should have been tied up a long time ago or a bit of business done considering the type of money flying around for them.

"Other than that you're looking at Allan McGregor, Steven Davis, Filip Helander, Ryan Jack, Scott Arfield… you can't keep them all. But you can't get rid of everyone who understands the football club, the DNA of it. You can't have too many of them in your dressing room.

"For Rangers it's a big transfer window coming up, recruitment is key but you can't let everybody go because you need to keep hold of a couple.

"I'd definitely keep Jack. His injury record hasn't been great but he brings something. Arfield has a role off the bench and McGregor deserves to make his decision. Will he be No 1? I don't know. Can he be back-up keeper? I'm not so sure.

"But Michael Beale has a big summer transfer window ahead of him."
