The manager, Philippe Clement, believes that for Rangers to be successful in the transfer market, they must participate in the Champions League.
He mentioned that the funds obtained from qualifying for the Champions League will greatly impact their efforts to end Celtic's reign, as they have dominated and won 9 out of the last 10 SPL titles.
"He mentioned that everyone is eager to compete in the Champions League," as reported by the team's website.

"And it is the grandest platform globally, where you have the opportunity to compete against the most skilled players in the world."
The conflict in Ukraine led to the first part of the event being moved to the city of Lublin in Poland, which is approximately 100km away from the Ukrainian border.
The next match, happening on Tuesday, August 12th, will also take place at a partially neutral location. Due to renovations at Ibrox Stadium, Rangers will be competing in their "home" games at Hampden Park until the end of September.
The successful teams will face either FC Twente from the Netherlands or Red Bull Salzburg from Austria in a playoff round to secure a spot in the main tournament.
Rangers made it to the Europa League final in 2022 but unfortunately lost on penalties to Eintracht Frankfurt. This was a significant accomplishment that Clement acknowledges and values.
I believe that all the European tournaments have developed significantly, including the Europa League where there are very important matches. Even in the Conference League, you can experience some significant matches in the final stages.
