Skipper James Tavernier is a big-name departure this summer - but how many other Rangers players might follow him out the exit?
Loan players Mikey Moore, Andreas Skov Olsen, Max Aarons, Jayden Meghoma, Nasser Djiga and Derek Cornelius have all returned to their parent clubs.
Ibrox boss Danny Rohl is keen to bring Moore back after the Tottenham teenager's lively season-long spell, but most of the other loanees ranged from near anonymous to passable.
Other than Tavernier, only teenage midfielder Bailey Rice and back-up goalkeeper Liam Kelly are out of contract at Rangers this summer. Kelly is World Cup bound with Scotland and while there has been speculation over a new Rangers deal, as it stands he will soon be a free agent.
Fellow goalkeeper Jack Butland - believed to be one of the biggest earners in the Ibrox squad - is entering the final 12 months of his contract. Might Rohl be tempted to move him on to free up further funds for a rebuild?
Out-of-favour players the German would want shot of include Jose Cifuentes, Danilo and Nedim Bajrami, while Lyall Cameron was shipped out on loan to Aberdeen in January and might be best seeking a fresh start elsewhere.
Attacking players such as Oliver Antman and Thelo Aasgaard have much to prove after underwhelming debut seasons at Ibrox, while Lawrence Shankland's arrival raises questions over where Bojan Miovski will fit in to the forward line.
Midfielders Nicolas Raskin and Mohamed Diomande both now have two years left on their deals and are among the club's most sellable assets. The World Cup offers Belgium's Raskin a shop window in which to showcase his talents, but Diomande was omitted from the Ivory Coast squad.
Rohl has made it clear he is seeking to sign leaders this summer, and former Ibrox goalkeeper Cammy Bell expects plenty of comings and goings.
"Rangers fans will want bodies in the door, but they'll be absolutely delighted to get Shankland," Bell told the BBC's Scottish football podcast.
"He guarantees you domestic goals. Shankland's a top, top player and that's a really good bit of business but they've got a lot more to do.
"And they have a number of players they'll need to get out the door as well. There's a lot of players Rohl will regard as not being in his plans for next season, he needs to get them off the wage bill."
Rangers fans, should the club cash in on the likes of Raskin and Diomande this summer or are they a must-keep? Who should be moved on after a trophyless season? Let us know your thoughts here.
