Rangers are targeting Michael Parker, the 21-year-old centre-back from Orgryte IS. Parker has shown impressive form for the Swedish outfit and has caught the eyes of watching scouts from both Old Firm clubs ahead of the summer transfer window.

Why are Rangers interested in Michael Parker?

Rangers' interest in Parker comes after Football Insider first revealed in March that the addition of a new centre-back has emerged as a priority for the Ibrox club this summer. Parker is seen as an affordable target, although his club will be reluctant to see him leave just months after completing his signing from West Brom.

Current Context

As of 30 Jun 2026, Rangers are 2nd in Premiership, with 69 pts, 19W-12D-2L from 33 games, and a recent form of WLLLL. They are 1 point behind leaders Heart Of Midlothian.

What comes next for Rangers?

Rangers have been eyeing multiple improvements at the heart of their defence, and while they have confirmed the signing of former Everton defender Ben Godfrey, they are still keen on signing Parker. However, Celtic's interest in Parker may prove difficult for Rangers to compete with, especially after their rivals' title success.
