Michael Beale has revealed Rangers have received enquiries for 'three or four' players as he bids to trim his Ibrox squad.

The Englishman has extensively rebuilt his ranks in recent weeks and will now look to add Danilo and Jose Cifuentes to his first team pool ahead of the Premiership kick-off against Kilmarnock.

Winger Scott Wright is one of a number of players that will be allowed to leave the club as midfielder Glen Kamara attracts interest from Leeds United.

The likes of Jon McLaughlin and Borna Barisic could also head for the exit door and Beale - who saw his side lose to Olympiacos on Wednesday night - expects movement out as well as in before the close of business.

Beale said: "Scott went out to Turkey last week as everyone knows, I think he was caught at the airport! 

"You can’t go anywhere these days without the cameras and he was caught. 

"Scott was honest in his interview. We accepted the bid, he went over to  meet the team and meet the coach and negotations are on in the background. 

"There is no point in risking Scott in these fixtures while that is up in the air.

"There have been enquiries about three or four players. Next week we have to name a European squad for the first two games so naturally that will mean that some players won’t be able to make that. 

"That’s the nature of the game, every season one or two miss out. 

"As we get closer to it and I am not using everybody you will find that one or two will probably want to have guarantees of playingg and I am probably not willing to give that – so they will have to hedge their bets one way or another. 

"It’s clear that we have recruited well, it’s clear the team is going to take a bit of time to come together. 

"But I am excited because we are playing against really good opposition to prepare. We are not looking for any gimmes in pre-season."
