Alex Gogic has emerged as a target for Rangers

A report by Ibrox Noise suggests that Alex Gogic is on the Light Blues’ radar ahead of the January transfer window. The 32-year-old is currently at St Mirren and has admirers at Rangers.

The club view the former Cyprus international as a replacement for Souttar, who seems to have played his final game at Ibrox. The Scotland defender did not get the move he wanted in the summer, and has not been in consideration under McInnes.

Gogic, whose contract at St Mirren Park runs out at the end of the season, is viewed as a backup option to the current crop of centre-backs. Olwethu Makhanya, Emmanuel Fernandez and Ben Godfrey are all expected to be ahead of him in the pecking order should he move to Glasgow in the coming weeks.

Rangers News understands that talks have not yet opened, but there could be moves made for a new centre-back if Souttar is to find a new club.

What Billy Dodds has said about Barry Ferguson and Gogic

Billy Dodds was a part of Barry Ferguson’s coaching staff, and he has revealed that Gogic was a player the Rangers legend admired. Dodds believes that the 32-year-old has what it takes to represent the club.

Speaking towards the end of 2025, the ex-Gers coach revealed that Ferguson has mentioned him as someone he would potentially want at Ibrox, and it was a view that he shared as well.

The Glasgow Times quote him as saying: “He wasn’t one that came up in my mind, but Barry did mention him, and Barry’s mentioned him before.

“It’s just the mindset of what’s required at Rangers just now, because I know they’re getting results and they’re putting a consistent run together.

“But I’ve said many a time that even when Dick Advocaat spent millions, there was a fair group of Scots there.

“He knew he needed them at some point – the Bob Malcolms, Stephen Hughes, myself, Neil (McCann), Barry, the list goes on, Scott Wilson, people like that.

“And I would like to see Rangers at some point get that core back at the club, because it does help going forward.”
