Rangers should consider Pennington to replace McAuley

Rangers could be on the hunt for a new centre-back this summer with Gareth McAuley out of contract in the coming weeks. The 39-year-old struggled for playing time at Ibrox after signing a one-year deal in 2018 and will be released on a free transfer at the end of July.

Steven Gerrard will be left with only Connor Goldson and Nikola Katic at centre-back next season, so a replacement will be required. Matthew Pennington is one player who should be on Rangers’ radar as he’s an attainable target who would improve the squad.

The 24-year-old could be moved on from Everton after struggling for first-team football.
