The Rangers Review reported on 22 August that Connor Barron will be transferred in the coming days. Barron has reportedly been told that he has no future under the 55-year-old head coach in G51, and his time in Govan could end after two years.

Connor Barron has been largely absent from matchday squads after a disrupted pre-season.

Rangers might let Connor Barron go to reduce their number of midfielders, as the club have already signed three central midfielders and are still linked to Jens Hjerto-Dahl.

Rangers want at least one new midfielder, and Vanja Dragojevic and Jens-Hjerto-Dahl are currently under consideration. Sales will be required before one of these two can be signed. Connor Barron, a 23-year-old Scottish defensive midfielder, is attracting interest this summer. A departure for Barron has not yet been arranged. It is suggested that Barron could be used as part of a deal for either Dragojevic or Hjerto-Dahl, which would also be a significant personal opportunity for him. Several clubs, including Bologna, West Ham United, and Eintracht Frankfurt, have been linked with the player. In July 2026, it was reported that Rangers are seeking between £8 million and £10 million for Barron, who joined the club on a free transfer in July 2024 and has one cap for Scotland.
