Rangers reveal summer exits including Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent
Allan McGregor, Scott Arfield and Filip Helander will also leave the club
Last updated 23rd May 2023
Rangers have announced five senior players will leave the club this summer - including Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent.
Veteran goalkeeper Allan McGregor will also depart at the end of his contract with Scott Arfield and Filip Helander also heading for the exit door.
Steven Davis remains in discussions to continue his recovery from injury with the Ibrox side's medical team beyond the summer.
Colombian striker Morelos joined from Finland for around £1million in 2017 and has gone on to become the club's top European goalscorer in their history.
The 26-year old has scored 124 goals in 268 appearances and was a key part of the side that won the Premiership title in 2021 and reached the Europa League final.
Winger Kent was also a vital part of those teams and will leave on a free transfer following his £7million arrival years ago.
McGregor has cemented himself as a Rangers legend - making almost 500 appearances for the Ibrox side across two spells.
Scott Arfield will leave the club as a fans' favourite after almost 250 games, while Filip Helander found success early in his Rangers career before being hampered by injury of late.
A statement on the club's official website read: "Rangers can today announce Scott Arfield, Filip Helander, Ryan Kent, Allan McGregor and Alfredo Morelos will leave the club upon the expiry of their contracts this summer.
"Steven Davis, whose contract is also expiring, remains in discussions to continue working with the club’s medical team to support his return to full fitness following a long-term ACL injury suffered in December 2022.
"Each of the departing players has given the club excellent service and will move on to the next stage in their careers with the warmest wishes and thanks of everyone at Ibrox and the Rangers Training Centre.
"The individuals have contributed enormously to the club‘s capture of a record 55th Scottish league title, last season’s Scottish Cup, the run to the UEFA Europa League final and qualification for the UEFA Champions League this season. Allan McGregor, of course, also gained significant honours with the club in his first spell and broke the 500 appearance mark for Gers back in April.
"Tributes to the departing players will be paid at tomorrow’s match with Hearts. Additional acknowledgements to those leaving will continue on the club’s digital platforms in the coming weeks, with Allan McGregor to be further recognised in his testimonial match with Newcastle on July 18."
