Robin Pröpper to Hold Crucial Talks with Russell Martin Amid Interest from FC Twente
Rangers centre-back Robin Pröpper is expected to engage in key discussions with manager Russell Martin this week, as Dutch side FC Twente have reportedly set their sights on signing the experienced defender. The 30-year-old’s future at Ibrox is now under increasing scrutiny, with the Eredivisie club keen to bring him back to his homeland ahead of the new season.
Having joined Rangers in a relatively low-profile move, Pröpper has quietly established himself as a dependable figure in defence. However, with the club undergoing significant squad reshuffling under Martin’s leadership, his place in the starting lineup is no longer guaranteed. Sources close to the club suggest that the upcoming meeting between the player and the manager will be pivotal in determining whether he remains part of Martin’s long-term plans.
FC Twente, who have qualified for European competition for the coming campaign, are understood to be making Pröpper a priority target as they look to add experience and leadership to their backline. With a return to the Netherlands potentially offering the defender more regular game time and the chance to play continental football, the opportunity is said to be an appealing one.
Rangers, on the other hand, are weighing their options. While Pröpper remains under contract, the club could be open to a sale if the terms are favourable—particularly as they continue to scout for new additions to strengthen the squad. Martin has already made it clear that he plans to reshape the defensive unit, and this could open the door for Pröpper’s departure if both parties agree it is the right move.
Pröpper’s potential exit would mark another chapter in the club’s ongoing summer overhaul, with several other players also linked with moves away from Ibrox. While Rangers are determined to remain competitive both domestically and in Europe, the focus is equally on building a squad that aligns with Martin’s tactical vision and long-term ambitions.
The outcome of this week’s talks will be closely monitored by both Rangers fans and FC Twente officials, with a resolution expected soon. Whether Pröpper stays to fight for his place in Glasgow or returns to the Netherlands for a fresh start could depend entirely on the direction the club is heading under Martin’s evolving leadership.
