Rangers experienced another turnover during the summer transfer, as former head coach Russell Martin allowed a host of players to depart Ibrox as he reshaped his struggling squad.
Hamza Igamane, Cyriel Dessers, and Vaclav Cerny all left for pastures new in pre-season. However, Martin was unable to revive the club’s fortunes in the early throws of the campaign and found himself sacked after just one win in his opening seven league games in charge of the club.
Long-serving players such as Leon Balogun, Tom Lawrence, and Ianis Hagi also waved goodbye to the Glasgow giants upon the expiry of their contracts in the summer. Many of the club’s youngsters went out to gain valuable experience on loan.
Here we look at the 22 Rangers players who moved away from the club before the start of the new campaign, and assess how they have done for their new teams in the first half of the season. Who has found success away from Ibrox - and who regrets their decision to leave?
21. Rafael Fernandes - Lille (loan return)
Remember him? The young Portuguese centre-back was signed on loan from Lille last January, but played just four games in all competitions as Rangers struggled in the second-half of the campaign.

22. Jefte - Palmeiras
After an inconsistent one-year stint at Rangers, the youngster made a swift return to his homeland of Brazil in a deal worth a reported £6million. It has gone well for the young defender so far, with Jefte proving three assists from 12 starts, and Palmeiras just three points off the top of the Serie A table. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
