Connor Goldson is almost certainly finished at Ibrox, according to the latest Rangers trade report.

Connor Goldson may have played his final game for Rangers, according to transfer reports from Ibrox on Monday (20 May). The 31-year-old has not played since the Scottish Cup triumph over Dundee, when he sustained a season-ending injury.

Goldson has been a key player for Philippe Clement this season, earning 30 Scottish Premiership starts before suffering a knee injury that has kept him out for the last several games. Now, it appears that the centre-back has played his final game for Rangers, as Clement is already looking to make a defensive reinforcement before the summer transfer window opens. According to the Daily Record [20 May], the Gers have accepted personal terms with Levski Sofia’s Jose Cordoba and are expected to negotiate a transfer fee with the Bulgarian side.

It is claimed that the signing might cost the club £2 million this summer, a price that could be rapidly recouped if Goldson leaves Ibrox and ends his six-year stay in Scotland. Could Connor Goldson be done at Rangers? The centre-back, along with colleague James Tavernier, has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, where he would join former manager Steven Gerrard at Al-Ettifaq, and a deal appears to be approaching following the latest news.

Moves to the Middle East offer clubs a simple way to raise funds, something that Clement and Nils Koppen will need if they are to complete a club rebuild at Ibrox this summer.

Goldson has been a fantastic servant to the Gers since joining from Brighton in 2018, making over 300 appearances in competitions.

However, the veteran has been questioned for some of his recent performances, and with the club linked with an intriguing 22-year-old potential, he may be unable to return to Ibrox.
