Rangers Transfer Rumours

24 Oct 2026 10:03:59
Good morning, everyone! 💙

Hope you're all keeping well!

I wasn't actually going to come on and post anything, but I've decided to share some of the transfer chat I've been hearing from various folk.

Some of these names will be familiar, as I mentioned them during the last transfer window. A few of the moves I spoke about came to fruition, while others didn't quite materialise.

Anyway, here's what I've been hearing.

CASPER WIDELL

Remember him?

Well, his contract with Excelsior is due to expire next June, and I'm hearing Rangers are still very much interested in the lad.

There are a couple of possibilities being discussed. We could look to secure him on a pre-contract agreement in January, or potentially negotiate a relatively small transfer fee to bring him in during the January window itself.

Either way, I'm hearing the interest hasn't gone away.

JAMES PENRICE

I'm hearing that our option to make Penrice's move permanent is going to be activated.

I think most of us probably expected that anyway, given the way he's hit the ground running since arriving.
He's certainly made an impression!

OSKAR FALLENIUS

Now, here's another familiar name!

I had Fallenius coming to Rangers during the summer window, but unfortunately that move never materialised.
However, I'm hearing we're still very much interested.

The complication is that his current club are also keen to keep him and could offer him improved terms to persuade him to stay.

His contract is due to expire in December, so January could present Rangers with an ideal opportunity to bring him in on a free transfer.

I've always liked the look of this lad and genuinely hoped we'd get him in the summer.
We'll see how this one pans out, but it's certainly one I'll be keeping an eye on.

HAMPUS SKOGLUND

You'll probably all be sick of hearing this name from me by now! 😂

I had Skoglund signing in the summer as well, and unfortunately he was another one that didn't materialise.

However, I'm hearing the club remain very keen on him.

The interesting part here is that it will ultimately come down to Derek McInnes and whether he decides to actively pursue the player again.

From what I heard previously, Danny was particularly keen on bringing him to Ibrox, but DM wasn't convinced at the time and the move was shelved.

I'm now hearing he's having another look at the lad, so perhaps there's still something to be done.

Personally, I think he'd be a cracking signing and exactly the type of player we should be targeting.
Young, talented, hungry and with plenty of potential to develop further.

Definitely one I'd love to see us get over the line.

BAYLEY McCANN

Another interesting name I've heard mentioned.

The 20 year-old Doncaster Rovers defender has apparently been attracting attention with his performances, and I'm hearing Rangers have sent scouts to watch him a few days ago.

There are reportedly a few other clubs interested as well.

Nothing concrete in terms of a formal offer as far as I'm aware, but if Rangers do decide to make a move, I'm hearing January would be the likely window.

One to watch.

MAX DOWMAN

The highly rated young Arsenal talent is another name doing the rounds.

I'm hearing a potential loan move could be explored in January, although Celtic are apparently interested as well.

Whether Arsenal would be willing to let him leave on loan remains to be seen.
Certainly an interesting prospect.

Anyway, that's about it for now!

As always, I'm simply passing on some of the conversations and information I've been hearing. Nothing is guaranteed, and as we've seen in previous windows, things can change very quickly.

Some deals happen, others fall through, and occasionally something comes completely out of the blue!

Make of it what you will, and we'll see what actually comes to fruition over the coming months.

Personally, there are a few names on that list I'd be delighted to see pulling on a Rangers jersey.
Who would you most like to see us bring in this January?

Take care, everyone! 💙.

24 Oct 2026 11:02:05
Thestigno1, very good post mate - being a lazy git, I just wish you had also reminded people what positions these players actually play in.

Anyway, thanks for all your great info.

24 Oct 2026 11:31:35
Welcome back, Stig.
Hope life is treating you well. 👍🔴⚪️🔵👍.

24 Oct 2026 11:39:16
Nice to see your passion for a good yarn hasn't diminished. 😉😄 Good to see u bud and cheers for the info 👍👍.

24 Oct 2026 12:12:31
Great hearing from you again, Stig.

24 Oct 2026 12:18:34
Get yer thumbs and your mouses 🐹 oiled up folks, Scroll master Stig is back in town 😀.

24 Oct 2026 12:24:23
We currently have 2 right backs and an option to buy a third .At least one would have to go before signing Skoglund the most likely and easiest being not signing Nedeljkovic permanently.

With Sakas long term injury and Tzolis being out as well I can't see Arsenal allowing Dowman to go to anybody on loan although that could change if they sign a winger which they could do as they have left themselves one short in the summer window.

24 Oct 2026 12:27:00
Welcome back Stig, very nice to hear from you. I hope you are doing well.

I have spoken about Skoglund and Fallenius at length over previous 2 weeks and i believe you are very accurate on these matters.

Casper Widdell is another that looks increasingly likely to sign a contract on January 1.

As for the other 2 players i cannot comment as i have not heard anything about them in regards to transfers.

I know of Dowman due to the publicity he received in Champions League last season.

I have never heard of McCann so I am in no place to offer any comments on him.

24 Oct 2026 12:47:40
So glad to hear from you Thestigno1 and very good post pal 👌🇬🇧Hope that's you back on here as we've missed you my friend.

24 Oct 2026 15:07:15
Good stuff Stig. Thanks for the info.

24 Oct 2026 15:42:54
Hope you're well Stig
Can anyone clarify dowman can't move country on loan due to FIFA rules until he is 18?

That's why Moore was not allowed to play for us till he was 18.

24 Oct 2026 18:35:43
Correct John, was scrolling down to say this. He's 16 so can't be loaned in January.

23 Oct 2026 23:22:00
I have just read an online article from Scottish sports journalist Fraser Fletcher breaking news of Rangers interest in Oskar Fallenius.

He says his sources say the move is seen as a cost effective squad depth addition.

Does anyone know if Frazer uses this site for his exclusive sources and news stories?

24 Oct 2026 02:51:52
That was the first thing that went through my head when I seen it.

24 Oct 2026 07:41:38
I doubt it as we've been linked to Oskar for a long time now and he's been free to speak to other clubs since July.

There was also speculation that he visited the club over the international break.

Fraz is also a good young coach who works in the lower leagues, so will have plenty of connections within the game.

24 Oct 2026 09:36:01
Not known him to get much right so that's good news.

24 Oct 2026 10:01:45
Thank you EHL, I don't know anything about him.
Was not attempting to belittle him only just trying to ascertain whether he is one of the journalists that uses sites like this to aid their own stories.

24 Oct 2026 10:50:00
I know Nato, wasn't trying to imply you were.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was on sites like these, it would be prudent for journalists to do so.

24 Oct 2026 12:29:40
Signing Fallenius in January does increase squad depth but leaves us heavy with too many wingers , we already have Minsu, Gassama, Yokota, Curtis and Bouanani. Maybe he would be seen as a replacement for Bouanani, whose price looks bit steep for us but giving them all minutes up until the summer would be tough. I would worry particularly for young Curtis who we could risk losing if he isn't playing enough.

23 Oct 2026 18:10:43
Hearing there's a few of our players won't be available tomorrow due to a bug ☹️As yet i haven't any names 🤔.

23 Oct 2026 20:20:45
DM was saying as much in his press conf Coops.

He said only 1 or 2 were first team starters but the call he got last night from the team Doc re a main starter was a concern.

Whoever he was hasn't been ruled out 100% though.

23 Oct 2026 20:22:30
Rommens is one.

24 Oct 2026 12:31:25
He said Rommens missed Monday's friendly because of the bug. Could be he is getting over it by now although others have caught it.

22 Oct 2026 12:19:25
Possibly zero truth in this one because it came from an SPL club staff member outwith our own but apparently scouts representing Everton, Sunderland and Crystal Palace at a recent away match were there solely to watch Pandur in action and in the case of Palace at least it wasn't the first time.

22 Oct 2026 16:28:53
Gazza, I believe it was to watch manny mate.

22 Oct 2026 16:54:58
Stevie G got to agree there, been widely reported on fan and MSM interest from these clubs in Manny.

22 Oct 2026 16:58:20
Pandur is young he's got 3 years roughly at us before he moves on to too 5 league.

22 Oct 2026 18:36:43
He's not better than Henderson, Pickford or roeffs so would be going to be back up. Can't see him wanting to do that. I agree with Stevie hope we have Pandur for a few year don't want to have to sell every single player need to build a settled spine.

22 Oct 2026 18:38:00
Imo. Manny will seriously have to up his game & decision making, before anyone takes a chance on him.
But you never know!!

22 Oct 2026 18:43:02
Get as much as possible , this boy lacks the minerals to really reach the top, we need a solid defender to win the league, not a stargazer

Can look quality at times but nowhere near what some think, imho of course, I'm a bit fed up watching the schoolboy errors.

22 Oct 2026 19:29:13
TT11, if you don't mind me asking pal what's your opinion on makhanya compared to Fernandez mate? 🤔🇬🇧.

22 Oct 2026 22:54:29
Really hope the Manny rumours are true though hope they don't watch him too closely. He's still just about young enough for teams to believe they can improve him so we might still get half decent money for him. Won't hold my breath tho, doubt we'll even get what we paid for him.

22 Oct 2026 23:02:31
Lot of talent coops, and could easily be the real deal, in fact I would be happy with him being the main man in the defence, but I'm fed up with Fernandez being awol and not concentrating in games, he can look good in some games but awful in others, I might be wrong and he might well improve enough to bring big offers but I'm not sure whether clubs see what I see and walk away, or I'm totally wrong and they are chasing him, sometimes they will pay a good fee and take the chance on him , but he's played for Peterborough and in Scotland, he hasn't played well in Europe so it's a bit of a gamble for anyone to pay big bucks for him, Makanya I would love to have for at least another season,

23 Oct 2026 01:22:16
Tom I absolutely agree and I'll tell u . I've not had the bottle to post this for fear of the pile on.

Pandur is nowhere near the keeper he's made out it be.

He's not in too 5 since 2000

Kilos
Watteau's
Shagger
Charboneir
Niemi is even better

Pandur is 50/50 imo I'm not convinced btw and Tom I'm glad u said it I've been thinking it.

23 Oct 2026 06:49:17
Let's hope they were impressed if watching Manny & they put in bid, lets take it quick before they change there mind, he was playing lower level England for a reason, that being he is not good enough, if he gets move to top 5 league will get found out big time.

23 Oct 2026 07:04:09
StevieG, Tom never said anything about Pandur, he's talking about Manny. Pandur might not be in those top 5 but they were top class. He's still a huge upgrade on Butland and has brought a calmness to my nerves.

23 Oct 2026 08:24:18
Think you picked up Tom wrong Stevie, its Manny he was rightly talking about. I like Pandur and he looks assured in most games.

23 Oct 2026 12:27:25
Im not totally sold on Pandur tbh

His passing is much better than Butland however Pandur still let's in goals around his feet (Dundee second goal)

At least Butland had a worldie save in him.

23 Oct 2026 12:48:08
Same as myself Kasier, certainly don't panic like i used to do if Butland had the ball near his feet, been very impressed with Pandur.

23 Oct 2026 13:32:22
Ally, pandur has already had a few outstanding saves and he's so quick and agile for me 👌I really rate/like him 👍🇬🇧.

23 Oct 2026 13:53:08
Don't think Pandur has let in a goal that should of been saved or a mistake. comes for crosses , let's the defence play ten yards further up park as can get to balls in behind and most of all has lowered my stress levels big time at games.

23 Oct 2026 13:55:56
I was talking about Fernandez, Stevie, pandur i'm very happy with.

The guys you speak about where of the highest standards, and we had even better before them , but Klos and Greegs were the best in that list, I think Pandur will be more comfortable with that steady solid and consistent central defender in front of him, he must be spending time waiting for the big slips from Fernandez or him drifting completely out of position, he's done a great job imo,

I just feel Fernandez has been awful in many games and he has very little experience in top class football, he hasn't shown anything like a 25 m player imo, not even close, but he has a chance definitely, Makanya has a better chance imo.

23 Oct 2026 16:01:31
Stevie G - the fear should be from looking silly, give the boy a chance - there is no one putting him in category of the keepers you have mentioned, but he's been here less than 3 months.

Hes hardly put a foot wrong and who knows the levels he can reach in fullness of time. Sometimes I just can't work out if any player will ever win the Hearts and minds of our support.

For me I'm as happy as I've been for many a season with the squad we have and hope a few go on to reach their full potential.

Let's back them to get there.

23 Oct 2026 17:41:08
Big manny has attributes but i'm not convinced he's 100% locked on at times.
Godfrey i feel got injured at wrong time or manny would have found himself out the side.
Manny would still demand a top fee as there is more potential there just needs to develop in terms of focus and decision making at times and right environment to keep him fully focused for 90 minutes.

A top defensive coach could improve him to become a very good CB.

23 Oct 2026 18:28:58
Bearsbear, feeling the same as myself, strongest squad for some time, I'm very happy having Pandur in our goals as well.

23 Oct 2026 19:01:47
If there are teams watching fernandes then makanya is away, he's head and shoulders better than fernandes, he's too slow and ball watches far to much, a coach should not need to tell a good centre half to cover the centre forward for a big punt up the park but he's caught out time and again.

23 Oct 2026 19:08:26
Manny must have been on the radar of clubs down south when he played at Peterborough no one went in for him. He would get horribly exposed if we were in Europe. I don't know if it's an attitude thing, i. e he thinks he's better than SPL standard or if he has concentration issues? I'm surprised he hasn't been out the team for Godfrey.

Pandur has the attributes to be a very good goalkeeper.

23 Oct 2026 19:16:25
I agree Bear, I think Derek is building something special myself and we were very unfortunate not to win last week, I like the way it's building but I want a new strong central defender and a poacher but we are going well just now, we must win almost every game now, and I think we will if we concentrate.

23 Oct 2026 19:13:39
Agreed with just about everything you said bro , he would be brutalised against a top level team, and too be honest about it I'm not sure Celtic can be that bad again either and worry about their forward line v Fernandez but he might just concentrate on the game now after last week and we will see what we thought he could be, I hope so.

24 Oct 2026 07:46:23
We had been watching Pandur for almost 3 years before we signed him as he had a reputation as a goalkeeper with plenty of potential.

I would expect he's on a lot of clubs radars and will be watched a lot over the course of the season.

22 Oct 2026 12:42:42
We apparently sent scouts to watch Doncaster Rovers' 20yr old NI U21 international LB Bayley McCann. Can play RB also, it's yet to be determined if we will pursue our initial interest in a player considered one for the future.

22 Oct 2026 12:57:22
Hs uncle Ryan was at Ibrox as a boy. Sandy Row family originally.

22 Oct 2026 14:32:16
Perhaps see him as a replacement for Rommens if we sell him?

Can't see him coming in behind 2 Lb's and ahead of young scally who was made promises.

22 Oct 2026 17:07:12
20 years is quite aged for a prospect , he must be playing well enough for first team football eh , who promised Scally anything Stevie? , they all in same boat, improve enough and first team straight ahead, no promises only incentives,

23 Oct 2026 01:24:48
Danny Rohl promised scally a track to the first team He did Tom he did

He was only 15 and Danny wanted to play him in a cup game and couldn't

Rangers took that rule up with SFA looking to chamge this rule

Ask EHL John and some others who I apologise for not naming.

Scally is promised same as Kyle Glasgow a pathway

We're not siggmi g a 19/20 yo left back to block that pathway.

23 Oct 2026 01:25:26
Tom scally was wanted by Arsenal and Chelsea he was given pro
Idea
Mate I guarantee u that buddy.

23 Oct 2026 13:47:07
Stevie, Nobody here can guarantee a single word that Danny Rohl said unless you were there. Rohl walked away at first opportunity. only my opinion though.


Are you saying only Scally was given assurances of a route to first team?

In my experience they all have a route to the top, it's called hard work, commitment and talent.

Nobody has a different " promise " than others or the other players would be jumping in their dozens.

23 Oct 2026 19:20:49
Tom scally McGuire and Glasgow were given assurances of a pathway before they agreed to sign their contracts mate. Without them theyd have went south.

23 Oct 2026 20:07:44
Why would any player need to be told and assured of this mythical pathway. That is every youth players ambition and life goal is to make it into the first team anyway. It's very simple if they are hard working, dedicated and good enough then they get a chance.

24 Oct 2026 12:18:20
Would need to echo Stevie on this Scally and Glasgow, I know for sure were given assurances, not guaranteed, that they were seen as becoming first team players with a pathway to first team. For me both have great potential and having seen a decent amount of Glasgow this season he looks to be a cracking player in the making and a few contacts at the club talk about Scally looking better that Patterson did at that age.

Different players but they say Scally has a higher ceiling.

24 Oct 2026 13:55:00
Theee cheers because before signing a contract players have various offers on the table.

Go to England and earn 10-15k a week as 16yo or stay in Scotland and try forge a pathway to first team.

U would be asking what the pathway represents and what's in front of u.

Those answers are what helps a player make a decision.

So yes those players were given assurances before signing a deal.

24 Oct 2026 17:33:12
So what happens when their guaranteed mythical pathway hits a blockade and their pathway is now through the exit door?
Can they sue the club for some extra loyalty dosh because the mythical pathway they were promised took an unexpected twist and turned onto the road to nowhere because they were deemed not good enough?
Every manager in the world will tell all their new youth prospects that they have a chance.

24 Oct 2026 18:09:06
What happens is the next generation don't sign the contract mate. If we block kids pathways then they simply leave for the spl next time.

Of course the players in question meed to do their bit , I'm not suggesting otherwise.

A pathway is not a guarantee to play. It's a guarantee that if you do you're bit that you will get the opportunities to progress one step at a time without being blocked by someone being signed and placed ahead of you for no good reason.

That's my take on the subject and I'm pretty confident that's the case.

21 Oct 2026 13:37:17
Understand we fielded 2 Trialists in bounce game against Dundee yesterday. Anyone know who they were?

21 Oct 2026 16:32:30
Seen a report somewhere yesterday that Dundee fielded two trialists, so not sure.

21 Oct 2026 18:55:45
Two youngsters , Connor Owen and Hutton ( don't know which one)

21 Oct 2026 20:32:06
Wsl, both players you name are professional signings at Rangers, Hutton has appeared as a sub for first team.

22 Oct 2026 11:27:06
Sure I read it was Dundee who fielded the trialists 👍.

22 Oct 2026 12:24:14
John , I know who they are I was just giving Bankie the information that you had provided earlier .My thought was that maybe somebody who didn't know better had said they were trialists .

On a related thought , and not aimed at you .I wonder why Rommens wasn't playing , surely if anybody needed minutes it was him.

21 Oct 2026 09:44:37
Casper Widell, a gentleman's agreement between him, his agent and the club, pre contract to be signed first week of the new year. Rangers will look to strike a deal to bring him in January.

He only wants Rangers and turned down approaches elsewhere.

Unless someone needs replaced, Fernandez or Raskin etc, Casper Widell will be our only signing in January.

Full focus on the summer.

21 Oct 2026 11:01:24
Looks like the nearest thing to an old fashioned stopper as you will find nowadays
That'll do me, I don't need them to play tippy tappy around the edge of the box, thanks very much!
(Who started this on or in the box stuff anyway? How many goals are lost in all leagues because of it?? )

21 Oct 2026 11:01:58
Makes sense Casper in when Souttar goes out think that was the plan for last summer but Souttar wouldn't leave.

21 Oct 2026 12:45:13
Only seen clips of him but can't see him starting unless Manny or Ollie are injured and even then I would think Godfrey would be first in line .Didn't look like an old fashioned stopper type to me but clips only show so much . If we sign him I hope he turns out to be brilliant.

21 Oct 2026 13:32:03
Very good accurate information, DCL.

21 Oct 2026 13:49:50
Personally think he could start ahead of Fernandez and Godfrey.

22 Oct 2026 00:37:16
Stevie knows another guy who only wanted Rangers.

22 Oct 2026 11:29:30
Only wants Rangers, reminds you of saga with Dahl. recent succes rate of Scandinavian players not exactly inspiring. Think current CB's would be a head of him. but maybe worth a punt as long as free & low end salary.

22 Oct 2026 14:34:56
Yes lads gentleman's agreement the lot.

Still fuming that we didn't sign dahl.

He makes the difference in games like the other day there against Dundee n

He really is some player lads.

Go watch some of him a stuff on YouTube etc.

22 Oct 2026 17:10:07
Gentleman's agreement, no gentleman involved there then, money talks about everything.

23 Oct 2026 02:02:40
Tom without doing what I've clearly done mate and really went in and on anoit this situation mate, Glasgow Rangers embarrassed ourselves as a club wirh how we treat JHD his agent and his club, and in an roundabout hull. They had been told no. And got him, so we don't look good even to them.

I'd love to hear what NATO views on it all are cause for me we aught to be embarrassed mate.

U do t Shakey hands and then walk away. I'm only 40 but imo a handshake is exactly that.

23 Oct 2026 08:31:55
Don't think that Dahl is getting a start at Hull.

23 Oct 2026 19:21:59
Tf2 he's not had a sniff. Not making the bench some weeks.

Nato suggested they may be treating him like we are drago, that's maybe the case.

23 Oct 2026 22:19:11
He won't be too worried

Real and PsG are preparing 8 yr deals right now and bringing Drago in as back up.

24 Oct 2026 11:18:43
7 year deal for Dahl, Tom and loan for Drago 👍🏻.
