Josh Mulligan Set for Rangers Move as Midfielder Arrives for Medical Ahead of Agreement

In what could prove to be one of the most exciting Scottish Premiership transfers of the summer, Dundee FC’s versatile midfielder Josh Mulligan has been pictured arriving at the Rangers Football Club training complex for a medical ahead of a proposed move to the Glasgow giants.

 

The 22-year-old Scotland U21 international, who has caught the eye with his dynamic displays and tireless energy for Dundee, is believed to be close to finalizing a multi-year deal with Rangers. Mulligan, seen arriving at the club’s Auchenhowie training centre on Wednesday morning with a travel bag slung over his shoulder, looked calm and focused as he entered the facility for routine fitness and medical tests.

 

Rangers are understood to have agreed terms in principle with both the player and Dundee FC, with only the formalities of the medical and final paperwork remaining before an official announcement is expected.

 

Sources close to the negotiations suggest that Mulligan’s transfer fee could rise to around £500,000 with performance-based add-ons, representing a smart piece of business for Rangers as they look to bolster their midfield options ahead of a demanding 2025–26 campaign, which includes domestic title ambitions and potential European competition.

 

Mulligan, known for his adaptability, can play in central midfield, right-back, or even in a more advanced role. His relentless work rate, technical control, and tactical intelligence have drawn praise from coaches and pundits alike. He was a standout performer in the 2024–25 Scottish Premiership season, playing a key role in helping Dundee secure a solid mid-table finish.

 

Speaking earlier this year, Dundee manager Tony Docherty praised Mulligan’s growth: “Josh has matured incredibly in the last 18 months. He’s got the engine, the drive, and the footballing intelligence to play at the very highest level in Scotland.”

 

Rangers manager Philippe Clement has made no secret of his desire to refresh the squad this summer with younger, homegrown talent. The potential arrival of Mulligan fits that profile perfectly and adds depth to a midfield that will see increased competition with the departures of some senior figures.

 

The deal, once finalized, will also mark a significant step in Mulligan’s career. Having come through the youth ranks at Dundee and spent loan spells with Cove Rangers and Peterhead earlier in his career, he now has the opportunity to showcase his talents on one of the biggest stages in Scottish football.

 

Fans have reacted positively to the news on social media, welcoming Mulligan’s work ethic and potential. Should all go as planned, Rangers are expected to unveil Mulligan officially before the end of the week.

 

As the medical proceeds and talks wrap up, the Ibrox faithful will be hoping that Josh Mulligan is the next young star to flourish in royal blue.
