Head of recruitment Frank McParland explains Rangers' transfer policy and says they plan to be busy in the January transfer window

Rangers' head of recruitment Frank McParland says the club expect to do more business when the January transfer window re-opens.

The Scottish Championship leaders secured the signing of Doncaster winger Harry Forrester on Thursday for an undisclosed fee.

McParland said the club do not need to bring in too many new faces, but revealed that manager Mark Warburton is aiming to strengthen his squad if the right quality is available.

"Hopefully we'll be very busy, whether it is signing players or just doing our job day-to-day, we need to look and need to improve," McParland told Sky Sports News HQ.

"We don't need to do loads because we have got some really good players here so if we can add a little bit I'm sure we will.

"If I like a player, and I know what players the manager and David [Weir, assistant] want as we've worked together very closely, the three of us sit down and we'll look at three or four players, categorise them, put them in order and then that's when we start our work.
