It's already been a frantic start to the summer for those at Ibrox. They wasted no time before compiling Hearts' misery, swooping in to sign club captain Lawrence Shankland. And since then, they've had their sights set on several more names, including the likes of Josh Windass at Wrexham.

The flip side to their frantic start is the concern that they could yet lose some key players of their own, however. Without Champions League football yet again, it remains to be seen whether the Gers will be in a position to turn down interest for the likes of Djeidi Gassama like they did in January.

He's not their only concern, either. According to TeamTalk, Rangers are ready to offer Calum Adamson a new contract to fend off interest from Middlesbrough this summer.

The teenage star has huge admirers at Ibrox and they still believe that he has a pathway to the first-team after a successful loan spell at Alloa Athletic this season.

Whilst they remains confident that they can tie their young star down to a new deal, that confidence will certainly be tested this summer. Boro have already completed in-person checks on Adamson and will be ready to pounce if he does not put pen to paper at Rangers.

The contract situation has been dubbed one of the most intriguing in Scottish football this summer, but the Gers will be hoping to avoid any added drama.

Why Rangers should accelerate Adamson plans

If it's up to those at Ibrox, then Adamson will be heading out on loan again next season. After he impressed for Alloa, the Gers believe another move away will only enhance his potential. From his perspective, however, it may be hard to ignore the chance to complete a permanent departure if a first-team place doesn't present itself at Ibrox.

Patience is a virtue, but that'll be tested by several interested clubs. Rangers would be wise to accelerate their plans and introduce the teenager to Danny Rohl's setup as early as next season.

The manager isn't afraid to use young players, either. The likes of Mikey Moore looked instantly improved under his guidance this season and the same development could be handed to Adamson next season.

A new contract should be the priority and if a first-team spot is part of negotiations, then those at Ibrox should not hesitate if they want to keep hold of the teenager.
