It looks like Robin Pröpper’s Rangers exit could be nearing its closer — and few fans at Ibrox will be losing sleep over it.
The Dutch defender, who joined Rangers with solid expectations, has failed to live up to the hype during his time in Glasgow. Inconsistent performances, a lack of composure under pressure, and questions over his adaptability to the Scottish game have seen him slip down the pecking order.
Now, speculation is ramping up after Pröpper was photographed back in the Netherlands — specifically in Enschede, the home of his former club FC Twente. A social media post showing him casually chatting in a local café has fuelled rumours that a return to familiar territory could be on the horizon.
For Rangers fans, the reaction has been mixed — but many see this as a clean break that could benefit all parties. While Pröpper was never short of effort, he struggled to cement himself as a dependable option at the back, especially when compared to the high standards set by the likes of Goldson or Balogun.
A return to Twente would make sense for the player. It’s a club where he was once a fan favourite and where he may be able to revive a career that’s stalled in Scotland.
From a Rangers perspective, it would free up wages and a squad spot for incoming reinforcements — something that feels essential ahead of the new season and a fresh European push.
Nothing is official yet, but this sighting has sparked optimism in Enschede — and, quietly, a bit of relief in Glasgow.
