Rangers Transfer Rumours

17 Aug 2026 10:20:56
EHL a few weeks ago you posted regarding Lewis Ferguson saying Rangers know what a deal requires and its realistically achievable

Do you know if this is still the case?

17 Aug 2026 11:15:13
A deal for Ferguson was never going to happen.
This was confirmed by his Dad, Derek, on one of the social media football shows.
"Rangers knew the price was EUR15-20m but were not prepared to spend that on one player."

17 Aug 2026 11:35:48
It's not happening, his dad seemed to be quite annoyed about the whole situation. He'll come here when he's 30-32.

17 Aug 2026 11:36:13
Foolmonty, he didn't say weren't prepared, he said weren't able.

I think AC wanted it and so did Lewis, but we expected bids for Raskin, Chermiti, Manny and Diomande at that time.

If all them happen we buy Lewis imo.

17 Aug 2026 11:37:48
Goram, he isn't or never was coming!

17 Aug 2026 11:41:51
Sorry, I think people are missing the purpose of this post.

It's about understanding the financial position.

If we were aware of what the deal involved, and financially it's achievable, then it opens up other possibilities elsewhere.

17 Aug 2026 09:28:20
May be unrelated but passing on something I heard last week

As there is definitely something up with Fernandez

There is some serious concrete interest in him from the EPL

We would be looking for a record fee if we were to sell

Also heard we will not be adjusting his current contract, which has some distance to run, and it incorporates a mediocre weekly base salary

His team were pushing for an extension on a higher base given the significant adjustment on his market value through the 2025/26 season and the fact we wanted to keep him this season

I may be wrong, but I think his heads been turned, and he wants away

For me if we can get 2 quality experienced replacements in, I would let him go if we can get what we deem fair on his current market value

17 Aug 2026 09:45:35
Wish his head would turn on the park, and maybe he would see what's going on around him. 😁😁😁
If he wants away, then time for him to go to the promised land of bigger moola - with some fairly big cash coming our way! - it's more players with the Penrice attitude and demeanour that are needed. 🤔👍

17 Aug 2026 09:50:30
The way he's playing there won't be record breaking bids coming in as he'll be back playing with Peterborough.

17 Aug 2026 09:51:50
You're getting no record fee for him. Not a chance.

17 Aug 2026 09:54:11
We will be lucky to get 10m for him. He's absolutely gash.

17 Aug 2026 09:54:11
Yeah, that sounds absolutely spot on by the way he's acting. Even during the warm up, he looked disinterested, and it was mentioned by the commentating team too. No one's bigger than the club, cliche, but true. If he's happy to see the back of him now.

17 Aug 2026 09:55:55
Personal issue. He's happy at Rangers.

17 Aug 2026 09:57:16
He's lucky Godfrey is injured because he'd be on the bench otherwise. The way he's playing just now, he's not worth a mediocre wage.

17 Aug 2026 10:20:42
He wasn't even that good last season. He was the cause of the defence then with others.

17 Aug 2026 10:24:59
Would be delighted with £10m at the moment. He's showing nothing. Lacks concentration defensively, slow on the ball, and isn't reacting in the box.

17 Aug 2026 10:28:16
I think people need to cut him some slack. What is it with our fans always seeking a player or players to target? He was actually mainly very good last year. Anyone says otherwise is tripping. Yes, prone to mistakes and can switch off, but come on, he's come from Peterborough (no disrespect), and he's adapting, and he's still relatively young. If he was Franko Baresi he wouldn't be in Scotland, same as Gassama. Maybe the two of them read too much of our social media, and that's the issue.

By Christ, I would find it hard to perform to my best reading some of the comments on here or social media from our own fans. Two raw, talented players that, given right support, could be huge players for us and make huge profit. Maybe try get behind the players and we would keep the rewards and start to build a team who want to win for us as much as them.

17 Aug 2026 10:37:56
Apparently big Manny is carrying a small knock.

17 Aug 2026 10:38:45
Fernandez has the potential for playing with the big boys. Some say he's 24 years old and won't improve. That's utter nonsense. Of course he will and can improve. 24 years old is nothing for a cb. Some top cb's don't turn up until 27/28 years old. Experience is a very important part for younger cb's.

17 Aug 2026 10:45:45
Attitude is his problem, not ability, Mystar. Surely you can't be happy with the way he's strutting about this season?

17 Aug 2026 10:47:40
Gjd, you can get behind them in the stadium and still offer your honest opinion on here, no? Or should folk write something they don't believe on the off chance he scrolls through the comments here, mate? I mean, come on, he's not a kid.

Criticism is part and parcel of being a footballer, whether we like it or not. I've not seen anyone on here say anything about him that's crossed a line, folks' views on his ability will differ, and that's fine.

17 Aug 2026 10:51:38
He looks disinterred and we can't allow that. 🇬🇧

17 Aug 2026 10:59:42
Something is certainly causing a distraction to Fernandes, and you could see the other players trying to lift him yesterday, so I'm not buying it's intentional, he's carrying some mental weight or other - or low in confidence.

He's clearly a talented boy and will eventually play at a higher level, at which point we will all say, how did we let this guy go and forget we hounded him out.

17 Aug 2026 11:02:08
WishyBear, obviously not mate.

17 Aug 2026 11:15:43
He was exactly the same last season, pointed out many times. Only now more people are noticing it. If we get an offer, then bite their hand off and get rid asap.

17 Aug 2026 11:16:43
The thing I don't get from all that is his wage increase demands. If you check online his market value is nowhere near what people are suggesting on here, and nobody actually knows what we value him at as I doubt we've ever released that info to anyone apart from teams who've shown an interest (if any actually have). So I don't believe he's asking for a wage increase. He'd get ripped apart in the EPL, he's done nothing to show that he's capable of playing at that level. A player who struggles in the SPL and against mediocre European teams will not be getting a move there.

His goals last season covered up his lack of defensive capabilities, if you ask me. We'd be very lucky to get 10mil for him, never mind a record fee. Plus you also told us on numerous occasions that you were told Bajrami was definitely going to a team in Italy and that Dio was definitely going to a team in France, going as far as to say both deals were done and dusted. Neither happened, so I'm afraid whoever is telling you this stuff doesn't know what they're talking about. It's guess work if you ask me. Sorry for the negativity.

17 Aug 2026 11:27:08
He's either injured or heads gone, mate, not sure what one. If we got 10m and good sell on, I would seriously consider it. I don't think we are going to get anywhere near 20m for him.

17 Aug 2026 11:46:14
He can improve, but he won't. He is making the same mistakes as a 18/19/20 year old would do. He is 24, not a youngster, and people need to stop making excuses for him as if he is a teenager.

17 Aug 2026 11:49:57
The lad looks miles off it. Gladly take a decent fee and invest in another cb. He's jogging about and showing no urgency on the ball.

17 Aug 2026 09:08:54
We have interest in Ellis Simms from Coventry on loan.

17 Aug 2026 09:31:44
He's a player I like.

Seen him for Coventry against EPL opposition a few times, and he played outstanding.

Could be a good move.

17 Aug 2026 09:33:16
We constantly get linked with him.

17 Aug 2026 09:41:56
Is this the guy that played for Hearts on loan a few years ago? We're going to get a reputation here!

17 Aug 2026 09:42:52
Another former Hearts player. 😬

17 Aug 2026 09:51:43
Bear1986, I liked Ellis Sims the times I saw him at Hearts, mate, and wouldn't be against us signing him, although I would honestly prefer Kevin Kelsy. 🙏

17 Aug 2026 09:56:28
I wanted him signed when he finished his loan at Hearts. Cracking big player.

17 Aug 2026 11:06:09
Would be a great signing.

17 Aug 2026 11:29:38
Would take him and Kelsy. Move on Miovski and get big Naderi out on loan or move on as well.

Miovski is on a decent wage to be 4th choice striker, and Naderi needs a decent run of games that I don't think he will get at Rangers.

17 Aug 2026 11:30:21
Has developed a fair bit since his loan at Hearts. Saw a wee bit here and there and for me decent striker but nothing special.

17 Aug 2026 11:37:36
Ellis Sims is a cracking player who would definitely improve us.

17 Aug 2026 11:38:02
Rangers of Midlothian. 😬

17 Aug 2026 07:16:28
I see the lad Kelsy played for Portland last night so that one doesn't look close if we're even interested at all. i love us to push the boat out a wee bit for the guy from Zagreb that's been mentioned before on here beljo or even Kevin denkey I think would be a great signing 🙏

17 Aug 2026 09:43:13
I really like the look of the Venezuelan striker Kevin Kelsy but I honestly don't know if we'll be able to sign him. 🤔

17 Aug 2026 09:43:56
I'm sure their manager said over the weekend that the interest and discussions are there, fair play to the player for still playing - as he should under contract.

17 Aug 2026 10:26:03
Dio played for us then left a day or two later. If a deal can happen it will regardless of if he's playing or not.

16 Aug 2026 22:29:04
Heard Gers are interested in Abdul Abdulmalik anybody know of him he plays in England lower league.

16 Aug 2026 22:42:05
Plays for Boreham Wood. They turned down a £1million offer, which is absolutely mental for a player in that league.

16 Aug 2026 22:55:12
Saw him live in person last year at the end of the season against Carlisle- he was good that day, but I really wouldn't think he's anywhere near the quality we'd need at Rangers.

16 Aug 2026 22:55:41
It was mentioned tonight on BBC Radio Solent and Boreham Wood FC Radio, so maybe they are trying to drum up some business, but I will tell you what, the boy looks bloody good, and if I am not mistaken, Vardy was plucked from the same league. Maybe worth a punt.

16 Aug 2026 23:12:25
If he looks as good as some suggest £1m is nothing.

17 Aug 2026 02:14:37
No idea of the link, however, heard the name get hyped up.

17 Aug 2026 06:32:55
Yea Vardy was first 1 mill non league player.

17 Aug 2026 07:26:18
He was getting talked up on Saturday, no idea how good he is, but from what I read he scored a lot of goals last season.

17 Aug 2026 07:38:42
Leicester offered £3 mill for him I'm sure.

17 Aug 2026 09:30:16
Any truth about the lad carlos mena I think is his name? Looks a decent option

17 Aug 2026 10:21:42
It was 1 million, his team not backed, Cmac, don't think it was Leicester tho.

16 Aug 2026 20:20:48
Another name am hearing for right back is Max Johnston, deal appears to be complicated, but the player is eager to follow in his father's footsteps.

16 Aug 2026 20:36:21
Would love this one to happen.

16 Aug 2026 20:44:10
Sterling as part of deal.

16 Aug 2026 20:30:55
Was his name not mentioned last summer?

16 Aug 2026 20:48:21
He's under contract until 2029. Wouldn't mind this at all.

16 Aug 2026 20:57:25
Was this the young lad who used to play for Motherwell? If so, then 100% would be delighted he was another one of those promising youngsters who left Scotland that we should have tried to sign.

16 Aug 2026 21:04:23
That would be great news.

16 Aug 2026 21:19:29
He'd be a good one!

16 Aug 2026 21:21:07
John, I wasn't informed what the complications were, or what the deal was, just that they want to recuperate what they paid plus a bit on top. I know when in Austria he expected a move to us, but never materialised.

16 Aug 2026 21:25:17
I'm sure he had a bad injury last season, but if he has recovered, then it could be a good deal for us, young Scottish international, has played in the league and has Rangers "DNA" as his dad played for us.

16 Aug 2026 21:31:33
I said I would like to have seen Max Johnston signed last season. But the amount of positivity about signing a guy from Derby vs. McCrorie from Bristol City and the slagging he has had is surprising.

16 Aug 2026 21:52:06
I really like the links to Kosta Nedeljkovic.

Throw Jelanic and Sevelj to toughen us up and sprinkle Ugresic and Cerny on top and call it a successful window.

16 Aug 2026 22:00:46
EHL, do you think there's much chance of all those deals happening?

16 Aug 2026 22:02:14
Absolutely take that.

16 Aug 2026 22:04:01
Ehl, sounds good to me. Like the look of the lad from Villa and couple friends talk very highly of him. Hearing the unofficial conversations regarding Ugresic have all gone as well as possibly could. Told deal is pretty much agreed in principle, but my contact thinks we are looking to offload a couple first.

16 Aug 2026 22:06:54
Is that you giving us aaclye, Ehl?

16 Aug 2026 22:16:19
Ehl, I really pray they all happen. I love Eastern European / Slavic players, they never let you down. You have been pretty consistent with Cerny too, let's hope he comes.

16 Aug 2026 22:24:53
Ehl, do you have any info at all on who the striker or left winger we might possibly be signing, ie. Kevin Kelsy or South Korean Min Su Kim/Appollis. 🤔

16 Aug 2026 22:25:00
Who is Jelanic? I can't find anything on him.

Does Sevelj play with D United?

16 Aug 2026 22:28:25
Ehl, is it possible out of all the players you mention you could rate the possibility of each signing?

16 Aug 2026 22:32:41
Cerny with the winner again tonight, last couple of games.

16 Aug 2026 22:36:37
Gazza, Jelenic plays for Osijek and yeah the lad from Dundee United.

16 Aug 2026 22:46:06
I've been shouting for Max Johnston for 2 years now.

He should've been brought into play, understudy to Tav, and then replace him or even loaned out til Tav left.

He's a very good right back.

Not as good a right foot as Penrice has a left, but he's just as athletic and maybe wee bit more solid defensively than Penrice.

This would be a great signing if it happens.

16 Aug 2026 22:54:53
I won't claim to be any kind of an expert in Max Johnston, but ever since he started to be linked with us, I have made a point of watching him closely on the occasions he's played for Scotland and any time I've watched a game where he was playing (couple for Strum Graz and Derby). And, to be honest, I really don't see it. Didn't impress at all.

Now, maybe these were just some poor performances, but I would have expected to at least see 'something' positive on a couple of occasions. To me he looked about on the level of Stephen O'Donnell. 🤷
As I say though, I'm no expert. If we are actually interested in him and end up signing him, I of course really hope I'm wrong.

17 Aug 2026 00:52:20
Derby interested in Sterling. Time for discussions?

17 Aug 2026 05:50:01
Cerny played and scored for the Turkish club yesterday.

17 Aug 2026 06:54:00
Cerny ain't coming. He doesn't fit the model profile at his rumoured transfer fee. Now Max Johnson is a no brainer!

Striker, CB, LW & RB are our priorities!

17 Aug 2026 07:28:08
I very much doubt we'll sign those I listed, that was just my wishlist.

17 Aug 2026 07:37:38
Maxy is a friend of my boys. He did everything he could to get Rangers to take him when he left Motherwell. He would be a good addition if they could use Sterling to Derby as part of the deal.

17 Aug 2026 08:59:04
I'd be happy if we could somehow get Max Johnston, with Sterling going the other way. I'd imagine Sterling's wages would be the stumbling block, though, as I think he's on quite a big wage.

My realistic wish list from the players we've been linked with for the remainder of the window would be Max Johnston, Casper Widell, Ognjen Ugresic, Vaclav Cerny - or, more likely, Camilo Mena and Kevin Kelsy.



I'd be happy to let Souttar, Sterling, Barton, Raskin, Cameron, Nsiala and Miovski leave if we can get the right bids in for them.

16 Aug 2026 18:02:43
Beñat Gerenabarrena ( all the points in a game of scrabble for that one) linked from Bilbao.

16 Aug 2026 18:47:24
I could be mistaken, but isn't he a defence midfielder. 🤣

16 Aug 2026 18:50:33
We ain't getting him. He is going to be in squad there for 1st team this season.

16 Aug 2026 22:08:43
Another central midfielder? Think we'd need to shift a few of those on first, no?

16 Aug 2026 22:20:55
The folk that print the names at the club shop are having anxiety attacks with this one.

16 Aug 2026 23:22:47
Had a bit of a dig into this guy's agency and seems to be same agency as Chermiti and Aasgaard, also seeing a few players others have mentioned with the same agency, and also a few players we have been linked with previously. Sure, I read something maybe a couple of seasons ago about meeting agencies at some convention, sure their name popped up.
