Robin Propper stalls on £1.5m Rangers transfer exit
The Dutch defender had an indifferent first season at Ibrox and was subject of plenty of criticism, although he still played 43 games in all competitions last season for Rangers. Twente are desperate to bring Propper back and expect to be able to land the 31-year-old for around £1.5 million. However, Twente Enschede's new sports director, Jan Streuer, has revealed Propper has not decided whether to try and play his way into boss Martin's plans yet. He said: "We have to wait and see with him. Read more: "Robin wants to hear from his club on what they're going to do. "I understand that there are new owners, a new technical director, a new manager and new coaches. "They always have new ideas and they also bring their own players with them. "The question is what all this means for Robin. "But he's welcome back here."

Rangers star 'agrees' to leave Ibrox after just one season
The 31-year-old Dutch defender is said to have "agreed" to return to his homeland, according to sources in the Netherlands. He was signed by Philippe Clement last summer from FC Twente as Connor Goldson's replacement. Propper has faced criticism for his performances, partly due to injuries, and the Scottish league's pace and physicality. He did, however, manage to make 39 appearances across all competitions and scored twice, including in a 3-0 victory over Celtic at Ibrox. TwenteFans reports that Propper has reached an agreement to return to his former club, Twente, although a fee is not mentioned. He is contracted at Ibrox until the summer of 2028. The site suggests that Propper will sign a three-year contract with the Eredivisie side. His departure would mean new head coach Russell Martin, who was unveiled yesterday, will have an immediate task in shaping his squad. The former Southampton boss will start working with the team ahead of their pre-season return later this month.

Robin Propper 'reaches agreement' over Rangers transfer exit
Sources in The Netherlands claim the defender, 31, has 'agreed' to return to his homeland after just one season in Glasgow. Philippe Clement signed the centre-back last summer from FC Twente. He joined as Connor Goldson's replacement. However, things haven't panned out as planned for Propper in a Rangers jersey. He has copped plenty of criticism for his performances at the back, with the Scottish game seemingly too quick and physical for his capabilities, although, injuries were also an issue. Propper did go on to make 39 appearances across all competitions though, scoring twice, including during a 3-0 victory over Celtic at Ibrox. Read more: Now, according to TwenteFans, it looks like Propper's short stay in Scotland could be coming to an end. The site claims he's reached an agreement to go back to his old club, Twente.

Robin Propper ‘reaches agreement' to leave Rangers with Dutch defender set to exit after just a year

Dutch reports are claiming the defender has 'agreed' to make a return to the Netherlands.

A replacement for Connor Goldson, Propper was Twente's captain when he made the switch to Glasgow. It's a transfer that hasn't really worked out, however. Propper has often struggled with the physical side of the Scottish game with his performances regularly coming in for criticism. He's also had his fair share of injury issues. Propper made 39 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring twice. His first goal for the club came during a 3-0 win over Celtic in the Old Firm clash at Ibrox in January. But his time with the Gers could be coming to an end if Dutch reports are correct. He's been heavily linked with a move back to the Netherlands since the season came to an end and it looks like there might be some meat on the bones after all. TwenteFans are claiming that Propper has 'reached an agreement' to return to Twente. SunSport reporters clash over Russell Martin as he's revealed as new Rangers boss No fee has as of yet been suggested although it's claimed Propper will sign a three-year contract to go back to his previous club. If Propper moves on, it means he obviously won't be playing under the new Rangers boss. Russell Martin was confirmed the Gers' new head coach on Thursday morning. An appointment that has certainly divided the Light Blues fans but Martin is vowing to win the supporters over. He said: "As soon as the Rangers job came up, this was the one I really wanted. "I wanted it because of the expectation, the size of the club and what it means to people. "Rangers is something completely different to anything else in football and I felt that when I was here as a player. "That comes into my mind too, that the one thing that hurt me when I look back on my career is that it didn't go well here. "I'm desperate to show a different version of myself here than I did previously. "So with all that in mind I was really honest from the outset that I wanted to be the Rangers manager and that this was my first choice. "My agent kept saying to me to play my cards close to my chest but I was really open and honest and now I'm delighted to be here." 3 Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Robin Propper Rangers transfer exit 'agreed' with Dutch defender set for quickfire Eredivisie return
Reports in the Netherlands claim that Propper's stint in Glasgow is over after one season Robin Propper is reportedly on the brink of leaving Rangers to return to FC Twente - with the Light Blues set to make a loss on the money forked out to bring the defender to Ibrox less than 12 months ago. Dutchman Propper was signed last July for around £2.5million after being identified by boss Philippe Clement and director of football Nils Koppen as someone who could add some experience to the back line. However, Propper's time in Glasgow has been far from a resounding success. A combination of injuries and lack of form often saw Leon Balogun and John Souttar selected as the first choice pairing at centre back by Clement and his successor Barry Ferguson, who took on the reins at Ibrox for the remainder of the season after the Belgian was sacked in February. And according to growing swirls on social media in the Netherlands, Propper won't be around to play for new Rangers head coach Russell Martin. The reports claim that FC Twente have struck a €1.2 million (£1million) deal to re-sign the 31-year-old, who will pen a contract with the Eredivisie club until the summer of 2028. Twente are in the market for another defender after being priced out of a move for Celtic misfit Gustaf Lagerbielke. The Swede spent the whole of last season in the Netherlands, making 20 league appearances to help Twente secure a sixth place finish in the Eredivisie. Lagerbielke joined the Hoops from Elfsborg in the summer of 2023 but has made just 10 outings in total for Brendan Rodgers' team. However departing transfer chief Arnold Bruggink confirmed last week that the chances of the Dutch club signing Lagerbielke permanently are very slim. He said: "Lagerbielke will most likely go back too. "That's what it looks like at the moment."
