Bailey Rice is a strong candidate for a loan move away from Ibrox before the window closes if he can prove his fitness.

According to The Daily Mail, the Ibrox club have failed to agree terms on a new deal for Scotland Under-21 international defensive midfielder Bailey Rice, and he will be out of contract in the summer. Aston Villa and Sunderland are said to have checked on the 19-year-old in recent weeks, aware he will be free in the summer. Rice joined Rangers in July 2024 and has a current market value of €800k, according to Transfermarkt.
