Earlier read, written at an earlier stage of this story: Motherwell are open to selling Emmanuel Longelo before the transfer window shuts, and Rangers have emerged as one of the clubs looking at the 25 year old left back. The player is understood to be one of the main options being considered for that position, with Motherwell said to be seeking a departure in the closing days of business. Nothing has been agreed, and no bid has been confirmed, but the interest is real enough to be worth tracking.

This one sits against the odds for now. Longelo is under contract until May 2027 via a club option, which gives Motherwell leverage rather than urgency to sell cheaply.

Watch for whether Motherwell set a firm asking price, and whether Ran
