FC Twente’s technical director Jan Streuer admits the club could move on from Rangers defender Robin Propper<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Dutchman is wanted by his former club just 12 months after they sold the centre back to the Scottish Premiership side.<\/p>\n A deal has reportedly been held up while Propper sorts out an arrangement over the remaining three years on his contract at Ibrox – but the Eredivise side appear to be growing impatient with their former captain.<\/p>\n While Streuer conceded he would like to re-sign the 31-year-old this summer, he concedes that they could move on to other targets.<\/p>\n He told De Volkskrant<\/a>: “All sorts of factors beyond your control (dictate transfers). Just before last season, our captain Robin Propper left at the last minute.<\/p>\n “We really missed him. Rangers<\/a> bought him. A top Scottish club. You can’t compete with them.<\/p>\n “Now there’s a new manager at Rangers, he might play less. Then he might be able to return.<\/p>\n “But he’ll want to wait and see first if he actually plays less. Do we have to decide: do we wait for that or do we see what happens next?”<\/p>\n And four-time Rangers title winner Neil Murray reckons that Russell Martin<\/a>‘s big issue this summer is the size of his squad.<\/p>\n The competitive action will get underway for the new boss on Tuesday in the crucial Champions League<\/a> qualifier against Panathinaikos.<\/p>\n But forgotten men like Propper, Ben Davies, Clinton Nsiala and Jose Cifuentes all remain on the books – with Martin already adding seven new signings.<\/a><\/p>\n Murray said: “It’s about finding the best formula because there will be new players there who have given the Rangers group a boost.<\/p>\n “One thing people are talking about at the moment is the Rangers squad is absolutely massive.<\/p>\n “There are plenty players to choose from which, sometimes, generates its own problems.<\/p>\n “Russell Martin will hopefully have a good idea of his best XI. Team selection will be key. There are big calls to be made.”<\/p>\n Follow Record Sport on Twitter<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> for all of the up-to-the minute breaking news, video and audio on the SPFL, the Scotland national team and beyond.<\/p>\n You can get all the news you need on our dedicated Rangers<\/a> page, and sign up to our newsletters<\/a> to make sure you never miss a beat throughout the season.<\/p>\n We’re also on WhatsApp where we bring all the latest breaking news and transfer gossip directly to your phone.
