Rangers winger Rabbi Matondo will be staying with the Light Blues after interest from Blackburn Rovers ended, according to Chris Jack.
The Rangers Review journalist posted on X (27 August) to report that although Blackburn made an inquiry for Matondo earlier this summer, the winger is set to stay put after a strong start to the season.

Matondo scored his first two goals of the campaign in the Light Blues’ 6-0 victory over Ross County at Hampden Park on 24 August, and will remain a Gers player after “catching the eye” in his performance.
Blackburn instead now look likely to pursue a deal for Ibrox playmaker Todd Cantwell, with Jack’s report in the Rangers Review stating that the two clubs have held “initial discussions” over a possible transfer.
Rangers could strike dream deal in Blackburn Rovers transfer saga
Rangers and Blackburn’s correspondence in recent weeks over the availability of Philippe Clement’s players could result in a ‘best of both worlds’ scenario for the Belgian before the transfer window shuts.
Cantwell, having handed in a transfer request at the start of the summer, is persona-non-grata at Auchenhowie and is right at the bottom of the pecking order, with any sale being good news for Clement.
Blackburn Rovers have held initial discussions with Rangers over a move for Todd Cantwell.
Rovers face Blackpool tonight in the EFL Cup and expect to step up business ahead of the deadline. Previous interest in Rabbi Matondo has cooled.@RangersReview55 https://t.co/7XKQECVlS1
