MARK WARBURTON admits he is unlikely to bolster his Rangers squad again before the start of the new Premiership campaign.

The Light Blues boss has signed nine players ahead of the big kick-off as he sets his sights on the league title this term.

He remains in the market for another defender and a forward to complete his squad but is happy to bide his time to wait for the right deals.

Warburton said: “I don’t think we’ll get the players we’re looking for before the start of the league season.Glasgow Times: Mark Warburton

“At this stage it’s not about quantity but more about quality.

“If we can find a striking option with the calibre of attributes we don’t currently possess then great, we’ll move. But we have high quality all over the park in every single position.

“People keep asking me what’s my best 11. It’s not about 11. It’s a squad game now.

“We could be look be looking for a 6ft 4in centre half to add to the aerial presence but we’ve got Matt Crooks to come back and he could be an option there.

“But yes, if the right player becomes available then we’ll move.

“Don’t forget about the loan market, that’s only beginning to pick up.

“If things go well then that usually kicks in at the end of July, beginning of August.

“If we can move quickly then great but we’re not going to act just for the sake of it.”

It has been a productive summer for Warburton as he has added strength and depth to his squad ahead of Rangers’ Premiership return.

A number of Ibrox stars have also committed their futures to the club by signing new deals with the Light Blues.

Warburton said: “There are discussions about contracts all the time. The media picked up on Waghorn and Tavernier for some unknown reason. When it’s suitable to do so we will move on things.

“We had Kenny Miller, Andy Halliday, Jason Holt, Barrie McKay all in last season and as boys do well you have to move as a club to protect ourselves as well.”

After four wins in the Betfred Cup, Rangers will round off their summer schedule when they face Burnley at Ibrox tomorrow.

And Warburton can sense the excitement in our game as the Gers get set to take to the top flight once again.

He said: “You can’t stop. You hear people saying it’s great to have Rangers back and that’s it. No. You’ve got to go hard again and keep improving it.

“We have shown that young players can come here and be challenged. There is an ignorance about the Scottish game. But somehow we have to improve the income.”
