BILEL MOHSNI is close to shipping out of Rangers to join German club SC Freiburg.

The Tunisian internationalist's representatives have been in talks with the Bundesliga side over the course of the last few days and sources state that he is set to agree terms over a transfer at the end of the season.

Mohsni is one of 12 players out of contract at the Ibrox club this summer and is likely to be the first of many to leave.

Rangers still do not know which league they will be playing in next season as they prepare to meet Queen of the South in the quarter-final of the SPFL Premiership play-off at Palmerston Park this Saturday while the manager, Stuart McCall, is yet to be told if he will even still be in charge beyond the summer.

Mohsni has found his first-team opportunities limited in recent times and it is understood that he is keen to make a fresh start after two years in Glasgow.

The one-time Southend United centre-back was signed by the former Rangers boss, Ally McCoist, following a successful trial spell and played a major part in helping the club cruise to the League One title.

However, McCall had words with the player over his fiery temperament earlier this season and he has not played since a 3-0 loss away to Queen of the South on league duty on April 9.
