Rangers have been busy during this transfer window and signed 7 new players with more likely to come, from their first signing of Jermain Defoe on a pre-contractual agreement back in January to their latest in Cedric Itten last night, how will each of Gerrard's newest signings fare in our opinion?
Jermain Defoe: 8/10
Signed From: AFC Bournemouth
Price: Free
Jermain Defoe initially signed from AFC Bournemouth on a loan deal back in January 2019, with the loan deal for 18 months. On the 23rd Of January 2019, Defoe scored on his Rangers Debut against Kilmarnock. Exactly a year and 2 days since signing on loan, Defoe signed a pre-contract with Rangers on a 1 year deal. Jermain played a total of 52 times for Rangers, Scoring 25 times overall during the loan deal.

Ianis Hagi: 9/10
Signed From: Genk
Price: 3,150,000
Like Jermain Defoe, Ianis Hagi initially joined Rangers on a loan deal. Hagi joined Rangers on deadline day in January on a 6 month loan deal with an option to buy, within his first month at the club Hagi scored the winner against Hibernian on his debut and 2 goals against Braga and impressed in every game he was involved in and rightly deserved to sign permanently for the Ibrox club.
Calvin Bassey: 6/10
Signed From: Leicester City
Price: Free
Rangers signed Calvin Bassey from Leicester on a pre contract when the defenders contract was running out under Brenda Roger's side. Bassey had caught the eye of Rangers after impressing in Leicester's reserve side In a 5-0 win over Rangers Reserves.

Jon McLaughlin: 6/10
Signed From: Sunderland
Price: Free
Jon McLaughlin joined Rangers from Sunderland on a free. The Ex-Hearts number 1 will replace Wes Foderingham following his release. McLaughlin isn't expected to play much but when he will play he will most certainly show his quality.
Leon Balogun: 8/10
Signed From: Wigan Athletic
Price: Free
Leon Balogun played on at relegated Championship side, Wigan Athletic last season. Balogun was rated as one of the best centre backs in the championship last season despite only making 5 appearances. With Katic out injured until January, Balogun will be more than good enough to fill in for the Croat. Balogun has already made his first appearance for Rangers, starting against Aberdeen in a 1-0 win.
Kemar Roofe: 8/10
Signed From: Anderlecht
Price: 4,500,00
The Ex-Leeds man has been linked with a move to Rangers for quite some time now, during Roofe's time at Leeds he played 123 times scoring 33 before getting a £7,000,000 to Vincent Kompany's Anderlecht where he played 16 times scoring 7. Roofe comes to Ibrox highly rated and is expected to impress in Govan.
Cedric Itten: 7/10
Signed From: St Gallen
Price: 2,520,000
Itten comes to Ibrox highly rated in Switzerland which is the only country he has played in during his career. During Itten's time at St Gallen he played 58 times scoring 28 and earning himself 2 Switzerland caps scoring 3 times. Should Morelos leave Itten and Roofe are more than capable of replacing the Colombian International, and with both Roofe and Itten coming in at a combined £7,000,000 they are getting themselves 2 absolute steals considering the money they will get for Morelos.
