The Braga tie has made the support look at Rangers as a club through a positive lens again after weeks of negativity to match results. The first team is full of young players with very high ceilings, guys like Morelos, Aribo, Kent and Hagi are only going to get better next season.
With that said, I think everyone can agree that there's room for improvement, while there will be debate whether players like Jones, Ross McCrorie and Docherty can contribute for us; I do think that it's undeniable that the gap in quality from our first 11 to our bench or squad players is a bit too wide. We are also rather light on cover in certain areas, we suffer tremendously when Barisic is unavailable in particular.
This summer window is another opportunity to strengthen the squad as a whole, a fair few will be leaving with their contracts expiring and added revenue from this Europa League run will hopefully see us add real quality.
What do you think we should add? Do you think anyone should be given a new deal? Should returning loanees be given a chance? Here is a summary of some of what will be going on, coupled with a couple of rumours. Player recommendations are always fun so feel free to jump in with some.
Possible Incomings/Targets:
Hagi(option to buy)
Kamberi(possible option to buy?)
Vydra(option to buy with Burnley before deal collapsed)
Lovro Majer
Serhou Guirassy
Mostafa Mohamed
Dykes
Ferguson
Players Returning From Loan:

Kamberi (end of loan/option to buy unknown)
Hagi (end of loan/guaranteed option to buy)
Probable Outgoings:
Jones
Barker

Hastie(loan?)
Middleton(loan?)
Possible Outgoings:
Barisic(serious interest across italy)
Morelos(likelihood decreasing with form)
Kamara(likelihood decreating with form)
