Sources: Rangers could agree cut-price Casper Widell deal in January

Rangers could sign Excelsior centre-back Casper Widell for under £2m in January, down from the £2m asking price last summer.

Rangers are positioned to sign Excelsior centre-back Casper Widell for less than £2m in the January transfer window, sources have told Football Insider. The 23-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season, prompting Excelsior to lower their demands from the £2m they sought in summer. Manager Derek McInnes wants to strengthen the backline with capable options, and Rangers prefer to pay a modest fee now rather than risk losing Widell to another club on a free transfer next summer.
