So people getting jumpy of the possibility of signing Devlin. The hard working defensive midfielder who plays out his skin every time he takes to the field? Yes Raskin is worth millions and played half a season.
Flattered to deceive sometimes. Get 15m for Raskin and get Devlin on a free. Great business. Hate to be a Hearts supporter just now, and if, I say if Braga gets signed they'll be jumping off king George 1V bridge. 😆.
19 Jun 2026 14:48:34
I'm hoping we get a bit more than 15mil for him, WG. He's got to be a record sale for us, surely.
Gotta agree on Devlin though. For a free transfer it would be a no brainer; he controlled the midfield in a team that finished above us in the league too.
19 Jun 2026 14:59:47
On a free it's a no brainer. Completely agree.
19 Jun 2026 15:01:14
Much needed midfield depth adding Devlin, whether he's a starter or not, is another question. You know he'll come in and run through a wall for McInnes as well.
19 Jun 2026 15:04:12
I appreciate that fan forums represent a small section of our fan base, however I've come to accept that there is not a player or manager that universally gets our support.
Like all signings, the proof is in the pudding. I remember a number of players who were not initially fancied at Ibrox but fondly remembered as Rangers greats, and also those who arrived to too much hype, only to leave with reputational damage.
I believe Devlin would give his all in a Rangers shirt and strengthen our squad. In light of those who are likely to leave the club, we need depth as well as strength.
19 Jun 2026 15:06:17
Surely taking the likes of Devlin and putting better players around him also helps him get better, like folk say this is a no brainer, get him signed.
Also I'd really like to think we'd be interested in Elijah Just from Motherwell. 🤞🏻
19 Jun 2026 15:11:09
Kenny, unfortunately think Just is off to the Tims.
19 Jun 2026 15:12:13
Said it a million times, we have 1 title in 16 years, and still snobbery against players from our league that normally show us up when we play against them, but they're not good enough to play for us.
19 Jun 2026 15:14:33
Raskin is overrated imo. I can't for the life of me see why Belgium have him in the squad for the WC.
19 Jun 2026 15:24:20
Cmac, probably for changing games like he did the other night, mate.
19 Jun 2026 15:25:26
If he goes, Raskin will sell for a base fee around £13m max anymore will be due to addons etc.
19 Jun 2026 15:25:49
Sell Raskin for a good fee and bring in Delvin for nothing. If it doesn't work out with Delvin, then we sell him next summer for profit. Good business move. Probably low to mid level wage so for me it's a no brainer.
19 Jun 2026 15:29:55
Cheers Ehl, top article.
19 Jun 2026 15:38:22
Mystar, I only saw the highlights of the Belgium game to be honest, so I can't comment on his performance with them. I don't think he had a great year with us at all, and imo, I don't think he's as good as people make him out to be.
19 Jun 2026 15:42:07
CMac, the Belgium manager knows how to use him. We don't. He's surrounded by top end talent in that squad that makes him better.
His performance the other day changed the game for Belgium, had a line splitting pass, and should've ended the game with an assist if Lukaku scores the header.
19 Jun 2026 15:59:17
If we're pricing Chermiti at 25mill there's no way we're letting Raskin go for 13mill imo.
19 Jun 2026 16:00:24
Don't think he is "off to the Tims".
19 Jun 2026 16:04:14
Raskin, can go. He is a bad apple, terrible attitude, plays when he feels like it and has issues with all previous managers.
19 Jun 2026 16:05:18
Also, keeping in mind Tims are looking at 25+ for Engels.
19 Jun 2026 16:06:25
Marchdale in media today anyway, that just is keen on the move.
19 Jun 2026 16:09:08
Honestly, please, no. Devlin is at best a squad player. We're not swapping out Raskin and replacing him with Devlin unless we're looking for a top 3 spot.
We all have an opinion, I get it, but come on, Devlin? We've gone from hoping for some of Europe's top up and coming midfielders joining to Devlin?
I'm not sure this close season can get any more uninspiring.
From the back room team to this. I give up if this is our level.
19 Jun 2026 16:15:59
Ryan, bud, I was having a bit of a laugh yesterday and think you are a good poster, but to say anyone not wanting Devlin is "snobbery" is a bit of a joke. In fact it's an incredibly poor take.
I don't think we need Devlin. However, I'd take Luke Graham, so how is that snobbery? Is it now selective snobbery? I think Barron has a higher ceiling than Devlin, and a complaint has been we have too many midfielders who are the same, but we're going to bring in another who is the same? I've seen folk crying out for playmakers, tempo setters and goalscorers, but we're going to go sign another "battler" "terrier" etc.
As I've said I'm not completely against it. I won't picket outside Ibrox if he signs. I believe the wages and time used to sign him could be better utilised elsewhere, and I'm entitled to that. I could sit here and say "oh how our standards have dropped if you think signing Devlin is the right call" or "let's be a budget Hearts" but I respect your right to want a player I don't think we need.
Rant done. 😂
19 Jun 2026 16:38:47
Many fans seem to think that just because Hearts finished second last season, or Motherwell had a couple of good games against us, we should automatically sign their best players. While that is mostly a joke, it perfectly sums up the rationale of a lot of supporters.
We say we want a Scottish core, yet we talk about selling a Scottish talent like Connor Barron just to replace him with an Australian. Sure, an Aussie player might understand the league, but do they truly understand the club?
I would rather give Antman, Gassama and Curtis more game time, and another chance to show they learned from last season, as they now know about the demands of the club.
Not all players ever understand or meet those demands no matter how they played for their previous teams.
And, we only have room for 26-28 players in our squad. With limited spaces available, I would much rather give our own young lads a chance as backups than bring in another foreign signing who doesn't offer anything different from what we already have.
Not snobbery but just a different way of looking at the same problem.
19 Jun 2026 16:49:09
Ryan, you can keep saying the snobbery nonsense. My post from the lady time still stands.
The fan base keep saying he is on a free, he works hard, etc. This seems to be the criteria that you want us to buy him on.
Any other attributes, stats, etc to back it up.
We have two players who work hard and are feisty and can run.
So why do we need another.
19 Jun 2026 16:51:02
Overrated, flatters to deceive, but let's demand £15 million + for him. 🙄
19 Jun 2026 16:16:11
Gersready1 I'm genuinely interested where you get your info from that he is a bad apple, the leaks have dried up at Ibrox so how do you know that he has a terrible attitude. As far as I can see he likes it at Rangers but he will ultimately move onto bigger and better leagues when his valuation is met whether he wants to stay or not.
I for 1 like the wee man and if he had better players around him his level would go up like it does with Belgium
19 Jun 2026 17:30:09
imo 26/28 far too large a squad. If 28, we r leaving 6 players out of European squad.
Allow 17 foreign.
Allow 4 association, we have at present 4.
Allow 4 Rangers grown, we have 1.
It's a very difficult task.
19 Jun 2026 17:44:52
Oh, come on, are you being serious with "Raskin changed the game when he came on"?
Granted, he put in one good cross for Lukaku, who should have done better, but other than that, where did he change the game?
19 Jun 2026 17:55:13
Weeker, ball to the assisting for the goal they scored, you miss that?
19 Jun 2026 17:56:38
Weeker, or didn't Belgium improve once Raskin came on?
19 Jun 2026 17:57:24
Elijah Just won't be signing for anyone in Scotland after his showing at the World Cup.
19 Jun 2026 18:04:59
If Delvin is better than Raskin, then why has he not been snapped up? Simple reason is he's not. Raskin is a 15 million pound player. Raskin is a great player. Delvin is decent; I would take him as a squad option, but he's not on Raskin's level, and I don't think he ever will be.
19 Jun 2026 18:20:38
My star, you named one pass he made, but he didn't assist, assisting an assist come on! In 40mins or so he was on pitch, he had 27 touches of the ball. Belgium did improve 2nd half, yes, Raskin wasn't the one who came on and directly caused it, so no, you have failed to convince me he altered that game.
19 Jun 2026 18:46:48
Cool Weeker, I'm really trying to convince nobody, but I did see the difference after he came on, you didn't see it, that's fair enough.
19 Jun 2026 18:48:51
Why do the Belgium fans want him starting the next game? They must also have seen the improvement.
19 Jun 2026 19:15:06
John, this is why we need to sign a couple more club trained players.
19 Jun 2026 19:25:32
Star how many Belgium fans do you know. How many were quoted anywhere who want him on. I have searched a lot over last 20 minutes to see if I can find that mass wave of Belgian fan support but failed. over to you
19 Jun 2026 19:39:46
Belgium clearly improved when Raskin came on and he created the goal. Devlin would be well worthwhile, and we can do a deal with Motherwell for more than one player (of 3 or 4). They are a club we have always worked well with and we will have the money to sign anyone they have that we want, all of course down to the players and what they want.
We can only try, but those players have done well in Scotland and seem happy, so why rush off? Chermiti, Fernandez, Raskin how much? £60m fair? And we already have a replacement for one of them.
19 Jun 2026 19:43:29
Goram, agree Gerrard had set a plan. He wanted the 8 to all be Rangers trained.
Problem is, to meet the club trained need to be over 21.
So Curtis next year, so no one in system comes through for at least three years who would b over 21.
19 Jun 2026 19:53:00
For me, signing Devlin is a no risk signing. He knows the league and has the qualities we need. My only thing would be, he is very similar to Barron. Great squad player, but hoping for a little better quality.
19 Jun 2026 20:39:59
Angus, was in a couple of articles I read the day after the game. Did you watch the game? Did Belgium improve after he came on? Just yes or no would do.
19 Jun 2026 20:51:06
Angus, I just found the article.
Belgium fans demand Rangers Raskin starts next game after impressive camoe.
Exact words.
Others must have seen with as well, article was on Wednesday.
19 Jun 2026 20:53:24
Surprises me hearing Gerrard wanted 8 from academy. He barely played any.
19 Jun 2026 21:43:04
Raskin getting it again, he is a great player, but some can't see the wood for the trees.
19 Jun 2026 22:59:50
Raskin our best player, time to change things up though, as for playing for Belgium, he does what he's asked to do and does it well and will more than likely start the next game.
