Rangers have submitted a bid exceeding £7 million for Plymouth Argyle attacker Morgan Whittaker, according to the Daily Record.

The bid was reportedly rejected by the Championship club on July 19, as manager Wayne Rooney aims to keep the 23-year-old right winger at Plymouth. Despite Rooney’s intentions, Whittaker is keen on a move to Scotland, with Rangers having shown interest in him for some time.

This move signals Rangers’ commitment to strengthening their squad, especially amidst uncertainties surrounding Philippe Clement’s future at the club. Clement has previously raised concerns about the club’s financial situation and available funds, leading to speculation about his potential departure.

The bid for Whittaker contradicts Clement’s earlier statements and reflects a willingness to invest in player acquisitions. Whittaker, who netted 19 goals and provided eight assists in the Championship last season, has been highly regarded for his attacking prowess. His addition would bring significant quality and depth to Rangers’ forward line.

Securing Whittaker would also send a strong signal to fans and the rest of the league that Rangers are committed to competing for silverware and are serious about their ambitions for the upcoming season.
