Rangers Transfer Rumours

11 Feb 2026 12:18:21
Anyone read Enic owners of Spurs like Danny Rohl? Would that be a job he'd want

11 Feb 2026 12:26:05
Tbh mate, the pull of the Premier League and the money that comes with it would be appealing to any manager. Hope not, thou, as I really think Danny Rohl is building something special here.

11 Feb 2026 12:29:49
They can take Rohl, and we'll take the Motherwell manager. 😅

Tongue in cheek, but if Rohl left, I would go and get the Motherwell manager.

11 Feb 2026 12:34:00
I'm sure managing a club in the EPL, with all the resources available, would appeal to Danny Rohl, but Spurs are a basket case of a club that experienced managers like Mourinho, De Santo, Pochettino, Frank, and even the "great" Ange Postecoglu couldn't sort out.

Danny should remember the lesson that Gerrard learned, that the grass isn't always greener, and be very wary of going somewhere like that too early and killing his career rather than boosting it.

11 Feb 2026 12:36:23
De Zerbi is available. Frankly, they won't be making a move for Danny at this point.

11 Feb 2026 12:39:59
I'd be looking to give the manager a new contract at the end of the season.

11 Feb 2026 12:41:23
Can't see Rohl going anywhere right now.

11 Feb 2026 12:42:22
I'm not sure about Spurs. Personally, I doubt he'd be on their radar.

However, I have heard he is being watched with interest by Crystal Palace.

11 Feb 2026 12:47:20
Surely he deserves better than inheriting another mess.

11 Feb 2026 13:26:17
On one hand, it is a positive that other clubs may be interested in our manager. It means he is getting things right and doing a very good job. I would hate to lose him now, or next season, given our appointment history prior to bringing Danny Rohl on board.



The club will have contingency plans in place, but let's hope we don't need them for at least a couple of seasons.

11 Feb 2026 13:28:08
Danny Rohl seems a smart man. He's a young manager, and with European football each season and the chance of silverware, I very much doubt he will leave us in the next 3 years. There's plenty of time for him to move to bigger leagues.

11 Feb 2026 13:30:19
I'm very confident our manager, Danny Rohl, won't be going anywhere anytime soon. 🤔 He's building something big and special at Rangers, I firmly believe, and I reckon he'll be here at Rangers for at least 2 or 3 years. 🙏

11 Feb 2026 13:39:54
Heard they're looking at maybe getting in an interim manager, then bringing back Pochettino after this summer's World Cup. Robbie Keane is also in the frame, though. May still be a bit too early for Danny to be considered for an EPL team, although that could certainly all change if he gets us the double.

11 Feb 2026 13:45:30
Chasni, I remember many fans wanted Jimmy Thelin when he had Aberdeen flying, so i'd want more than what he's done this season with Motherwell before making a move for him.

11 Feb 2026 13:46:49
EPL Palace would be a better club atm for Danny, or any coach for that matter.

11 Feb 2026 13:48:55
Good thing about Rohl is that he's still very young for a manager. So, if Spurs were interested (not sure they will be after recruiting Ange from the SPFL), then he could afford to stay put for the time being. He has a long career ahead of him and will have plenty more opps to go to the PL, should he continue to succeed.

11 Feb 2026 13:51:54
Can't remotely see Spurs being interested at the moment. They've just had one SPFL manager who was winning everything up here and thought he wasn't up to scratch.

Can anybody really see them going for a guy whose team are odds against to beat Hearts at the weekend? That's not a slight on Danny btw, just the way Spurs will see things.

11 Feb 2026 14:02:59
Thomas Frank is a fantastic manager/coach, and Spurs have had some greats before him, and they have all been sacked. Hopefully Danny Rohl will realise they are a mess, don't recruit well or back anyone, and see they are not worth it. He'll get better opportunities, and teams will be looking at him.

11 Feb 2026 14:16:26
If DR left for Spurs or any EPL team, we have a Scottish manager who is pushing for the league right here, and a Rangers man to boot.

11 Feb 2026 14:19:35
Would be more concerned about Palace, tbh, but can't see it yet. Think we'll have him for a while yet. He's just starting to build something special.

11 Feb 2026 14:20:28
I hope the alleged interest from Crystal Palace in our manager, Danny Rohl, is false, EHL. 🙏 I'd hate to lose Rohl so early in his Rangers managerial career. ☹️

11 Feb 2026 14:43:02
SWS, based on the source of the information, I wouldn't suspect it's false, and if I did, I wouldn't post it.

Our former Women's Team Head Coach is now Palace's Women's Team Head Coach.

11 Feb 2026 15:33:28
Why would a team like Spurs be interested in a manager that hasn't won anything yet?

Sounds harsh, but its true. The EPL is a different beast to our league.

I like Danny and think he is doing a great job for us, but with our spending and resources, and the fact 5-9 teams in the league are totally rubbish, its hardly top level coaching.

11 Feb 2026 16:21:38
Ally, what did Thomas Frank win before he went to Spurs?

If Spurs or Palace, for that matter, come in for him, he is off imo.

11 Feb 2026 16:36:49
Because coaches pick up reputations, and clubs can recognise the job some do without winning trophies. Arsenal took Arteta because he'd built a reputation working alongside Pep. DR has a good reputation working with Bayern and the German national team.

11 Feb 2026 16:45:09
Spurs will steer clear of managers from the Scottish league for the time being after Ange.

11 Feb 2026 18:50:16
Crystal Palace will probably line up Thomas Frank as the replacement for Glasner. He's proved that he can manage a smaller club in the EPL.

10 Feb 2026 19:34:15
As I keep saying I know nothing about transfers, all my information is about progress of building, maintenance and improvements in the surrounding areas.

Speaking to the person today that I trust, he said negotiations are still happening but Rangers will be offering just under 8000 tickets to them. This works out at roughly 15% of capacity.

Rangers have said due to the volume of supporters in the away end this will need additional security and policing.

That lot can challange and send it to the SFA but as long as Rangers can back it up to do with safety to and from stadium, policing and evacuations then that lot can't say a word. The negotiations are just a formality to show that we are being professional.

Just what i have been told

10 Feb 2026 20:13:26
I'd assumed they'd just get the Broomland like they used to, as they can't expect to mix both sets in one stand.

10 Feb 2026 20:30:59
So season ticket holders for Broomloan and the family section may lose out.

10 Feb 2026 20:40:23
That makes sense to me. That mob have already set a precedent, along with Aberdeen, so can't complain when it goes against them.

10 Feb 2026 20:44:32
I believe Broomloan holds up to 8,000, so could be. I just heard the figure today is less than 8,000.

10 Feb 2026 21:03:22
Don't really care, as we will win on the day! For sure!

10 Feb 2026 21:20:48
So if we were going there, do u think they'd give us 20% of their 61,000, or offer 2,600 odd, that they offered Hibs last year before having to give 7,000? Possible stadium damage twice in a week (I know we've done it 2).

10 Feb 2026 22:03:11
Rules are 20%, but only if both teams and the police agree. So, last year they had to give more because of that rule, and the police being willing to police it.

I can't be the only fan who is so sad this crap keeps on going on.

It benefits no-one. And the fact that both clubs have scum who damage the other's stadium isn't an excuse. It is a game of football, nothing more or less.

10 Feb 2026 22:17:46
I did say both sets, n personally I'd give them between the nets that they insisted on for safety, n nothing more.

10 Feb 2026 22:24:48
To be fair, now that there is no replay, you can understand the 20% rule more.

11 Feb 2026 06:34:25
They will get the Broomloan.

11 Feb 2026 07:09:16
Agree, Fork. 👍

11 Feb 2026 07:42:56
Bees, season tickets aren't valid for cup games, but with an early sale of tickets for season ticket holders, they will be able to choose another seat.

11 Feb 2026 07:48:35
What an atmosphere it makes, though, when both sets of fans are in.

11 Feb 2026 08:12:46
Cup games are different from league games, Fork, and if they get the Film Stand, it's safer than what they get just now, even with nets. Come on, mate, you know that. 👍

11 Feb 2026 08:19:21
Celtic fans are boycotting their games, especially cup games anyway, so Rangers should use that as the excuse.

11 Feb 2026 08:29:54
Fork, it was my comment, not based on any other. However, I hope our new owners start afresh and try to solve this ridiculous small goldfish bowl mentality around both clubs. Someone needs to take the first step, and I hope this is it.
Police and SFA have stepped aside and said it is up to the two clubs to agree on allocation.

So now we will see whether it is the small mindedness of both clubs which is to blame.
It is really a small cog in the big wheel of bigotry and hatred which surrounds the fixtures, so I hope this step is taken and we can perhaps start to move on.

11 Feb 2026 09:28:15
How do you guys think they'll go about moving Broomloan ST holders then?

Selfishly (and logically), I think it should be the same as Hampden games - ST holder/CCCS with x points get priority.

11 Feb 2026 09:58:25
Angus, I agree, however, only for cup games. Whilst I also agree about the whole bigotry nonsense, the problem is we have now sold season tickets for league games, so we can't just say to them, already paid, you aren't getting your seat. Possibly, going forward, we would need to not include the Celtic games in the season ticket price for the Broomie, like before.

11 Feb 2026 10:07:35
Angus, I mainly don't agree with much you say, but with this I'm 100% with you. This tit for tat nonsense needs to stop, and we need to get back to full allocation for away fans.

This nonsense has really ruined what the Old Firm was and how it is perceived outside of Scotland.

Since we play so many times a year, we really need the excellent crowds back so we garner more interest outside of Scotland.

11 Feb 2026 11:10:00
The only way I'd go back to the old allocation is if they put us back where we used to be, not in that crap restricted view section.

11 Feb 2026 11:18:39
Agreed with Angus and Big Blue Jim. As someone who goes to away games, it's absolutely brutal having to miss out on the biggest away of the season because the clubs spat the dummy out at each other. The Old Firm is a worldwide spectacle. It's time we started making it that, instead of watering it down with petty behaviours.

11 Feb 2026 11:28:00
I do, Storm, but their entitlement after what they tried to do to Hibs does my nut in. I'd still keep them between the nets. You won't get rid of the hatred or bigotry that surround both teams, will never happen. Offering the Broomloan is probably the right thing to do. Me, due to their assumptions, wouldn't give them it.

11 Feb 2026 11:40:44
Sorry, guys, should have said my discussion on this was only for the cup game. Not 100% sure, but STs don't cover the cup game, so our portion of that would be worked out somehow; not sure on how.

Re league games, I do think it needs to get back to a reasonable amount of away tickets being sold by both teams, and making sure that the away fans, players, and officials are safe. I think the most recent agreement was 5%, which would fit in with the curtained area in both grounds, so no real change there.

For the cup games, they either are dealt with uniquely for each ground, i.e.

at Ibrox, Celtic can't get the 10k which would be 20%, but could get the allocated stand which holds 8k. Other option could be any game in any round involving both clubs be held at Hampden, and remove the home benefit, but ensure a large number of both teams' fans get to attend.

Not sure of the exact answers, but fed up with both clubs being very immature about this. I don't attend, but it embarrasses me every time I read about the whole topic.

11 Feb 2026 12:03:32
Angus, I agree they should get full Broomloan for the cup tie, but I don't agree with you about taking future cup games to Hampden. Why would the clubs want to do that? It's the worst ground about, and would need to pay them to use it.

They have agreed allocation for league games, so stick with that at minute. As for cup games, it should be old allocation, no more, no less.

11 Feb 2026 12:29:35
I would like there to be a respectful relationship between us and them at boardroom level, just from a professional perspective and for trying to improve the Scottish game.

I just don't see how it's possible from their side, though. They have shown repeatedly that they are more interested in pandering to fans than having a constructive relationship with us.



With that being the lay of the land, we just need to look after ourselves first, and in this case, it's giving them the minimum allocation.

11 Feb 2026 13:05:04
Think they will get the full Broomloan, about 7500 once segregation is implied. We gave Dundee United the full Broomloan a few years ago when we were in the lower div in the cup. I remember a League Cup semi, we had to give them the full Broomloan and Govan in the early 2000s.

Back in the early 80s, they got the full Broomloan, West Enclosure, and some of the Main Stand every league game. We also got the full Rangers end (20,000) and some of their Main Stand every league game. Whatever happens, we are winning.

11 Feb 2026 13:11:08
Bt, it was just a suggestion for both clubs, when they were the away team, to get a higher percentage of the tickets.

Tommy, I think both boards were entrenched to a degree and pandered to their fan base. Our new owners seemed to me to be the best opportunity for that to be broken.

I also think that might be a way to show both sets of supporters we are trying to move on from days of olde.
I think it is a forlorn hope, but you can but hope.

11 Feb 2026 13:39:36
Fair enough, Angus. It's hard to tell how discussion at that level happens, as it's all confidential. If there is an opening to build a constructive relationship, we should pursue it.

I just cannot see that, especially with their board under so much pressure from fans at the moment.

If that is the case, which I suspect without knowing anything really, I think we just need to look to ourselves and make decisions in our best interests.

11 Feb 2026 16:25:15
Good post, Tommy, about boardroom level, and I agree.

10 Feb 2026 23:55:03
Cup games should be balot rather than just where your season ticket is

10 Feb 2026 10:12:32
Has anyone read anything about UEFA investigations into the 2008 season.

10 Feb 2026 10:28:59
U talking about Manchester Live? 🤔 Not seen anything.

10 Feb 2026 10:30:13
What sort of investigation?

10 Feb 2026 10:51:48
Can't find a thing on whatever it is. What are they investigating?

10 Feb 2026 11:29:13
"Livi."

10 Feb 2026 11:37:35
Recent articles circulating on social media claiming UEFA is looking at "old emails" or "dark questions" about Celtic's 2008 title don't appear to have backing from major news providers or any official UEFA communication. They're not verified reporting.

10 Feb 2026 11:57:09
I read an article this morning regarding Celtic having had meetings with referee and officials over that season, and a report being sent to UEFA.

10 Feb 2026 12:20:27
Hopefully they are investigating the SFA/SPL for making Rangers play so many games with not enough down days between them. Blatant abuse of our players.

10 Feb 2026 12:36:51
Old SFA member came out years later and said there was a phone call received saying, don't help Rangers, don't extend the season. Then the mysterious tour of Japan was announced, the one they didn't go on.

10 Feb 2026 13:00:15
This sounds like bull to me.

10 Feb 2026 13:04:32
Are we surprised 👀, or is this possibly more conspiracy stuff? Although it was poor what we were forced to do, as Wsl touched on.

10 Feb 2026 13:23:51
Just seen something on social media regarding leaked emails from Celtic to the SFA or SPL.

10 Feb 2026 13:49:54
I can't help thinking this is the way that mob carry on.

10 Feb 2026 14:51:28
Why not follow up? We all know what happened, no help from the league or SFA making us play so many games in so little time. It needs investigated if there is a case to answer.

10 Feb 2026 14:54:10
We were required to play 4 games in 8 days, around the same time meetings were apparently had between 'interested' parties requesting that no help be given to us under any circumstances. Did one of the SFA hierarchy (now retired) not spill the beans on that one? Interesting, but of course we're all deluded and up to our necks in conspiracy theories etc, that we can't possibly be thinking straight.

10 Feb 2026 14:55:44
Key matches in the final weeks (May 2008):
May 14: UEFA Cup Final vs. Zenit St Petersburg (Lost)
May 17: Scottish Premier League vs. Motherwell (Won)
May 19: Scottish Premier League vs. St Mirren (Won)
May 22: Scottish Premier League vs.

Aberdeen (Lost)
May 24: Scottish Cup Final vs. Queen of the South (Won)
These matches were part of a stretch where Rangers played 13 games in 34 days, concluding the season with an intense 5 matches in 11 days.

10 Feb 2026 14:58:12
The Guardian has reported that. There is supposed to be a taped telephone conversation that has appeared in a Spanish court, regarding bribery of some description by the Russian mafia in relation to the result of the semi-final between Zenit St Petersburg and Bayern. Zenit won the second leg 4-0 after getting a 1-1 draw in Munich.

10 Feb 2026 16:08:34
We drew with Motherwell.

10 Feb 2026 22:27:39
UEFA do not have jurisdiction, for a start. Anything that happened within our own league goes through our national association, not UEFA.

10 Feb 2026 22:28:56
Also, again, UEFA do nothing about corruption in Europe, anyhow. Very selective with who gets punished and who doesn't.

08 Feb 2026 10:32:35
Just been told that Dahl is practically signed and will be first in the door come Summer

Passing on what i heard, boys.

08 Feb 2026 10:56:06
Thanks for the update, my friend.
I am issuing no further updates at the moment on this one.

08 Feb 2026 11:09:29
Great news, Ayrshire.

08 Feb 2026 11:10:02
Hopefully this is true, but we should really be working on finding our long term 6. I believe Aph has said numerous times that isn't what Dahls game is.

For me, this is one of our weakest positions, and we have players who are not suited to this role trying too hard to fill this position.

08 Feb 2026 11:19:43
BbJ, my opinion is he fits the Declan Rice mould a bit better.

Plays as a 6 for Norway U21s.

I think he fits the 6/8 hybrid role better, but I am also not a coach.

08 Feb 2026 11:33:14
According to the news this morning, he's just signed a contract extension.

08 Feb 2026 12:28:03
Yeah, I've seen you mention that a few times, Aph, and I would really, really like this lad signed in the summer, but I would also hope we are looking for a 6 who will just play that role and be dedicated to that role for us. We really miss someone of that ilk who dictates our tempo.

08 Feb 2026 13:01:10
Lot of noise about this one, then he extends his contract. Not sure anyone posted that would happen on here.

08 Feb 2026 13:14:19
Dahl apparently signed an extension with his club.

08 Feb 2026 13:14:58
BBJ, to me it looks like Tochi Chukwuani is going to play the 6 role long term.

08 Feb 2026 13:56:54
FB, Tochi looks, again, more a player that likes to get forward, and much more of an 8 to me. I just want us to sign a 6, and only a 6 type of player.

Time will tell though, and maybe we already have a plan. Just have to wait and see.

08 Feb 2026 14:57:57
I agree with FB, Tochi looks like a 6, strong, powerful, wins the ball back. If Dahl is coming, i'd slot him in just in front, linking the forwards.

08 Feb 2026 15:53:46
Silas Anderson?

08 Feb 2026 16:25:56
I am issuing no further update on this one, lol, really.

08 Feb 2026 17:32:03
Why are you issuing no further update, Aph? I'm intrigued to know.

08 Feb 2026 17:37:00
Here's hoping both Dahl and Elliot Stroud are signed for the summer. 🙏 If we can add these 2, we'll have a very strong midfield. 👌🇬🇧

08 Feb 2026 17:47:02
Foreverrangers, and you just prove his point. 👍.

08 Feb 2026 18:06:41
You get it, Angus.

08 Feb 2026 18:27:08
Petty, pithy, and pathetic. Doesn't matter what's said, some pick fault regardless. cba with that mince.

08 Feb 2026 19:27:47
SWS, have you seen much of this boy, Stroud?

08 Feb 2026 20:35:11
No, i haven't seen much of Stroud. Just saw clips, and his midfield goal scoring stats are very decent. Why do you ask, mate? 🤔 Have you seen much of him yourself? 🤔

08 Feb 2026 21:02:10
Neither will be signed in the summer, as Dahl doesn't want to join Rangers, and this thread is the one and only time Stroud and Rangers have been mentioned in the same sentence.

08 Feb 2026 21:05:15
Lol Aphe, i can't see anyone asking you for an update, bud.

08 Feb 2026 21:36:12
Fork, I echo those sentiments, my friend.

08 Feb 2026 21:47:13
Ah, I see the 0-0 mystics have arrived. 🤣 This is a rumours page, and each comment should be treated as such until scarf pics. Nothing is 100%.

08 Feb 2026 21:51:04
Aph. 👍👍

08 Feb 2026 21:52:16
Isnt Tochi our six?

08 Feb 2026 23:45:14
SWS, I have seen nothing of him, but if he's linked with us, I'll have a look for him.

09 Feb 2026 03:36:33
Ayrshire Tattooist, you are very much mistaken. I am guaranteeing you Dahl is not signing, just like Silas Anderson isn't either and never was. Now, I'd love to get 1 of those 2 personally, but it ain't happening. I am calling out anyone who says any of those 2 are signing. Unfortunately, they are not. I will be happy to take any flak if I'm wrong, but i know from a very good insider that, while we had interest, the 2 boys are destined for bigger leagues than ours, and both players do not want to play in our league as their next step in their career.

That is 100% fact and, over time, i will be proved correct by the absence of both signing.

09 Feb 2026 07:35:39
So you've been told something. Until it happens or doesn't, it remains a rumour, nothing else. Oh, and that is a fact.

09 Feb 2026 07:37:22
Stiv, one Crackerjack pencil in the post.

09 Feb 2026 08:24:15
Stiv, you might well be proven right. But you do not know for certain, as you are not part of the recruitment team. 🤣 Me thinks you know as much as the rest of us.

09 Feb 2026 08:52:01
Oh my, sorry for passing on what i heard. Haha,
Chill out, troops. Its what makes this site great, all the 'Rumours' we hear and post.

09 Feb 2026 10:03:52
Ayrshire, keep posting, my friend. Your information is fantastic.

09 Feb 2026 10:08:45
Correct, Ayrshire, some still don't get that, bud. 👍👍

09 Feb 2026 10:27:00
Ayrshire, if you could just restrict your rumours to the ones I believe though, that would be great. 😉🙈

09 Feb 2026 11:14:25
Thank you, Aph, its appreciated, my friend!

Absolutely, Fork, this site would be a bit dull without all the great rumours we see.

Angus, ill try my best next time, buddy, i promise, haha.

09 Feb 2026 11:29:40
Look, I really respect Aphs post on players and really look forward to them, but he is acting like the main authority on Rangers while living, I assume, in Norway, and he's not exactly got much right.

And Angus, I think its you who has missed my point. If your referring to another line of posts of Aphs, then fine, I've not seen it.

So, on this line of posts, what exactly, to you, Angus, have I proved his point on?

Can anyone look to posts recently where Aph is not making himself out to be the new authority on Rangers? This was my point, Angus.

I was honestly fine with it until he said to other posters, are they ok, as if they had something wrong with them for disagreeing with his posts.

Otherwise, I really like most of Aphs post.

09 Feb 2026 12:14:15
Okay, bleed blue. I didn't answer you ever in this line of posts, and I think that would be mainly because, before your post at 11:29:40, you hadn't actually posted before 😉. So, impossible to respond to a post and miss a point you never made, and slightly confused tbh.
Some posters are obviously in a position where they get more rumours, so post more.

Does that make anyone the authority on Rangers? I don't take them to be that, but would hate to discourage them from posting, even if they did think that. But surely the point of the forum is to get information and discuss that information. Some posters seem to spend more time dissing the poster, hence the point being made by a few. 🤷.

09 Feb 2026 12:20:15
Bleed Blue, out of all of Aph's posts, I've never once thought he's made himself out to be 'the leader of Rangers'.

That's really clutching at straws, that statement.

09 Feb 2026 12:21:14
It isn't a fact, Stiv. Even if they don't sign in the summer, it's not a fact until it happens.

09 Feb 2026 12:30:03
Well said bleedblue, i also enjoy aphes rundown on players. I don't think anyone has a problem with Aphe, but you need to remember that everyone has opinions mate. Like everybody i hope you keep posting but just remember no one is out to get you. We come on here to talk about Rangers.

09 Feb 2026 13:49:09
Masterful, I hope also that you start posting. Perhaps your future posts after your first today will be discussions on Rangers instead of discussions on posters. 😉

09 Feb 2026 14:17:57
Agreed, Ayrshire, just stirring the 💩👍.

09 Feb 2026 17:31:16
Listen, guys, I'm not proclaiming to be part of the recruitment team, but I do have a very good inside contact who has given good and truthful information in the past. Now, yeah, if I'm proved wrong, then I'll take any flak that comes my way, but I am telling you all, Dahl will not sign for us at this present time. In the future, in a few years, who knows, but for now, or in the summer, he will sign for a different team, just watch.

Also, people, keep replies respectful. Just because someone gives different info doesn't mean they are a crackpot or troll from the other side, passing on what I've been told. And, to reiterate, I personally would have loved the boy to sign, as I rate him highly, but unfortunately for us, so do other clubs in bigger leagues with more resources, and the fact the boy wants to play as high as he can, then unfortunately we aren't an option for him.

09 Feb 2026 17:51:50
Agree, Stiv, just post on the issue rather than the poster, and keep it respectful. Both are only repeating what they have heard.

I am interested in how it turns out, but not to criticise the poster whose source was wrong. Things change, and there is a lot of moving parts, I imagine, before we even get to that window.

09 Feb 2026 18:20:59
There's a way to go about it, Stiv. You can't come and say it's fact. You can say, I've been told it's not happening. You can do that without basically calling others liars.

09 Feb 2026 19:17:16
100% correct, WishyBear. That's why he will be called out when you come out with the fact b***.

09 Feb 2026 20:12:53
Correct, WishyBear.

10 Feb 2026 01:14:40
Dahl's contract was extended by a year, from 2028 to 2029.
He will be a Rangers player in the summer. Nothing will be announced officially until then.
6 mill up front, 2 mill add ons, 4 year deal, 1 mill wage per year.
Was already posted on here.

He fits Danny Rohl main formation perfectly, 4231.

Which employs 2 hybrid 6s/8s.
6's when we are defending and 8's when we are attacking.

Chukwuani is a great example of a hybrid 6/8.

Ignore the media nonsense spinning mince about the deal, it was done after the Besiktas collapse. We offerdd 3 mill more, after their silly 5 mill low ball offer on a player valued at 7.

If we had more time after the Besiktas deal collapsed, Dahl would be in the squad now. It was too late to get him in, so it was arranged and finalised for the summer.

Stig Inge Bjornebye and Remi Wulff negotiatiated and finalised the deal with Tromso. The 1 year contract extension was already in place before Besiktas made the 5 mill offer.

Lets focus on the League and cup campaign instead of arguing about Rangers next signing.

10 Feb 2026 08:17:57
Laudruphagi, now I'm not dissing your info, but if a deal was indeed concluded in the window for the summer, why would he then go on to sign a contract extension? Seems strange.

For me, he either wants to stay or get the best possible deal for his club if he leaves in the summer, so I just can't see how any deal has been concluded with the player.

10 Feb 2026 08:30:31
Davie, read what it says lol. Extension in place BEFORE Besiktas, our deal done AFTER Besiktas collapse, extension to help get Tromso top money for JHD.

10 Feb 2026 08:34:09
Extension was agreed before Besiktas made an offer, then we went in. Read his post, Davie, as John alluded to. Also, Raskin extended, so is no one allowed to make an offer for a player who has extended? Clubs protect themselves.

10 Feb 2026 09:09:45
Wow! That's a very detailed description, Laudrup. I hope you are right. The only thing I will ask is, why we didn't secure it during the winter window?

We could have just offered that at the start or the middle of the window, and that would have dismissed Besiktas?

Also, why would they negotiate outwith the window? Are they that happy with the negotiated terms that they wanted it sealed? Seems to be a very reasonable fee for a player so highly rated.

10 Feb 2026 09:11:48
Fork, Wishy, Ayrshire, Angus, Strom, and Laudrup, thank you very much, guys.

And some wonder why it's best to opt out.

I have always been clear with this deal.

Rangers are favourites to complete the deal, but it remains difficult, as of yet not completed.

Information I had was Tromso have agreed, in principal, a deal worth 6.5 million euros, rising to 8 million euros.



I had been told it would likely be a 5 year contract, not exceeding 1 million euros per year.

This information can be checked via the archives.

One thing I will make clear is Remi is a great man and will advise Jens well.

10 Feb 2026 09:13:14
Laudrup, you are 100% correct regarding the contract, and again I have been clear that Rangers have been aware of this for a number of weeks.

10 Feb 2026 09:16:53
Reason for not completing during the window has also been spoken about at length.

Rangers were never willing to meet the valuation set during the winter window.

We attempted a different structure that was not agreed, and continued to negotiate structure after the window closed.

It really is that simple.

10 Feb 2026 09:43:16
Thanks Aph, this will be an interesting one to watch. The mainstream media don't appear to have caught on to this info as of yet, but I hope it comes to fruition.

The boy is only 20, so if we get him on a 5 year deal, then we can work on his physical attributes and get him developed enough.

10 Feb 2026 09:55:12
Sorry, not dissing anyone's rumours or knowledge on this but he only signed his contract extension on Feb 5th. Why would he sign a contract extension on that date if they knew a deal was in place with us as Laudruphagi states ( he does say he WILL be a Rangers player come summer)but then Aph is saying nothing is yet in place. So many contradictions on here. We either have an agreement in place or we don't. If we have one the contract extension wouldn't have been necessary and it surely would've been announced because why hide it.

The player and manager himself have also stated they're looking forward to the season ahead. Personally I don't think he'll be a Rangers player come summer. And fire in, I know you're going too😅 seems if you don't agree with certain people on here you get lambasted, probably the reason why guys like Shota have disappeared from the site. It's very uncomfortable reading at times.

10 Feb 2026 10:09:48
Rwn, can I please add that the contract extension was not announced to fanfare? It was completed quietly, just like Nico Raskin.

10 Feb 2026 10:43:42
Ran, it will be interesting to see what happens. But it could have been to offer the player a higher weekly wage. Even if you had agreed to go to another team, no player is going to turn that down.

So, increase agreed before our agreement, and then signed because it was agreed. Not saying I have any insight, but it could be as simple as that.

10 Feb 2026 10:45:41
Thanks for the clear up, Aph, but Laudruphagi did state he WILL be a Rangers player come summer. He's obviously been told this. While you yourself state nothing is agreed, it's either one or the other. Does this mean what Laudruphagi has been told is wrong? Laudruphagi, has someone told you this, or is it just what you wish to be true?

10 Feb 2026 10:48:39
What part of signing an extended contract with an agreed exit clause do u not get? Things are fluid in contract negotiations, and the club moved to protect themselves, as has been alluded to by quite a few. Raskin signed one.

They know we want him, so they have extended with the clause to meet the valuation they want. Its not that hard, really, and if things change they're protected either way.

It's a rumour/debate site and opinions vary. I've been assassinated on here quite a few times, fell out in heated debate, but speak again on the next subject that arises with the very poster I've lost the rag with.

It happens, and it's not personal. Nearly took a fatwa out on Star 😉🤣🤣 only kidding 👍

It can be frustrating and disrespectful at times, on that I agree. Christ, I've left loads of times, but always come back. Usually to everyone groaning because I'm back 😉

Nothing is personal on here, although at times it does feel that way. Best not to take differences to heart. Accept or don't, it's up to u, then move on to the next debate. 👍

10 Feb 2026 11:25:50
Fork, it's not just about the contract extension. 2 regular posters are saying very different things. 🤦 Laudrup has went as far as to say Stig and the guy's agent have negotiated and finalised the deal. While Aph has stated no deal has yet been finalised, negotiations ongoing.

All I'm asking is, which one is it? 🤷 That's where the contradictions come in, only one can be right. I'd love us to sign him, so it'd be good to know whose info is correct. They've both been told very contrasting info, to that you must all agree.

10 Feb 2026 11:41:28
I get that, RWN, but I'm only highlighting the extension is signed with an agreed buyout by the player and selling club, bud. As the buyout is in place, we would need to provide that to get the player.
There may be a gentleman's agreement, if we meet it we get him, but things change very quickly.

Laudrup may have been told yes, Aphe has no confirmation.
As I said, I was highlighting the release clause on the extension that protects the player and selling club, mate. 👍

10 Feb 2026 12:01:02
And it is all very hypocritical on here. When someone disagrees with a rumour, or disagrees with someone stating fact, they get jumped on. Or it's the old 'its a rumours site', yet when Stiv disagrees and posts that he's heard from what he believes to be a very reliable source it's not happening, most still have a go at him.

The same guys who had a pop at a poster last week because they didn't believe/agree with him are now having a go at Stiv because he disagrees/doesn't believe a post! Hypocrisy at its finest.

10 Feb 2026 12:04:40
RWn, 2 different posters have 2 different sources who are being told 2 different things. They are both rumours, so either could be right. In fact, both could be right, or neither could be if it doesn't go to plan. Just need to wait and see the scarf over head picture first.

10 Feb 2026 13:12:11
Rwn, it hasn't happened yet, so it does remain in the realms of a rumour. It's not a fact, that's why people had a pop at Stiv. However reliable the source may be, it remains a rumour till it actually happens, just like all the other rumours that appear, bud. We may say gd info or not, but it's still a rumour. 👍

10 Feb 2026 13:16:11
He disagrees, bud, but states its a fact. Its not, as it hasn't happened. That's why people are questioning him, not the disagreement. It's because he's said fact, that's why.

10 Feb 2026 13:24:52
Not sure why everyone is getting their knickers in a twist. If you don't believe the posters, great, just wait and see what happens in the summer. Either he signs or he doesn't, its not a life threatening condition.

10 Feb 2026 13:29:32
Dont see how they moved to protect themselves when the player already had a long contract, from what was reported, without an escape clause.

Are people really saying the only reason he was given a deal is to increase his wages when he's to be sold anyway lol, yeah cause that really makes sense.

An extension to a contract always means to get the selling club more money, and if we couldn't get a deal done before this contract, how are we expected to get a deal done after it?

Only way I see it is if a deal is made on the basis of someone like Raskin being sold, and part of that fee then goes to buy this boy.

But, again, if you're a selling club and he has a long deal and a World Cup on the horizon, why would you even consider that? You would wait and hope he makes the squad to bump up the price.

10 Feb 2026 13:31:40
And again, just want to say I really do like Aphs posts. There is nothing personal here. I maybe could have worded my post better.

Casting doubt or disagreeing with a post does not automatically mean you don't like the poster, which some seem to think here.

10 Feb 2026 14:00:07
Geesadodothat, exactly. But that's why I'm now getting my knickers in a twist😅 it's not right to have a go at people who don't agree on things. There was no need today for people to have a go at the posters that didn't agree with the original post because they disagree/don't believe it.

It's doing nothing for the site but bringing negativity. It's mostly an enjoyable experience on here but days like today will be putting people off.

10 Feb 2026 17:00:53
Rwn, it was the first set of posts where people were giving Aphe a hard time for saying he was not giving any further updates. Seeing that this thread has now lasted longer than the biblical floods with the to-ings and fro-ings of the discussion, is it any surprise he said that. ;)

10 Feb 2026 22:30:29
And another one practically signed but not actually signed. What's the diff? Because, until signed, it means nothing.

11 Feb 2026 00:14:30
Also, guys, just to clarify, I'm not for a minute saying any of these posts are lies that say Dahl will sign. If that is their info, then so be it. I am just saying I have been assured, at this present time, Rangers will not be his next club, unfortunately, as I really rate the boy. Same with Silas Anderson, there was a tentative enquiry about him from us, but again the boy and his agent believe they are going to a better league on his next club.

Just letting people know because I have been categorically assured no deal for Dahl is done or will be done for summer, but let's see what happens and who will be proved correct. But again, everyone is entitled to post opinion or disagree, that's the beauty of pages like this.

07 Feb 2026 17:44:50
Latest one from the agency guys.

Elliot Stroud LB/LM 23 years old
Contract expires 31/12/26

This is one that would fit the system EHL explained to us like a glove.

07 Feb 2026 18:13:54
Hope this happens, this boy is a baller. 👌

07 Feb 2026 18:41:31
Would this be a summer transfer? Very decent amount of goals and assists over the last couple of seasons.

07 Feb 2026 19:43:48
Looks like Dahl's value will be going up. He has just signed a long-term deal with his club.

07 Feb 2026 20:25:47
Frustrated this extension has been known about for around 3 weeks.

This affects nothing other than optics.

07 Feb 2026 20:51:36
Aph, thanks mate. I didn't know. Hopefully we can still push this one through then.

07 Feb 2026 21:36:06
If we have shown interest in Dahl, I'm sure this will not be a surprise.

07 Feb 2026 21:48:03
No problem at all, my friend. The player wants the move but is showing tremendous loyalty in ensuring the club that gave him his career get the best deal possible.

The boy is mature beyond his years and has the right people guiding him.
Remi is a great man, not just the typical agent.

07 Feb 2026 21:54:17
Aphelion, I just looked Stroud up, mate. Transfermarket is saying LM or LW.

07 Feb 2026 23:02:27
Yes, my star, predominantly left midfield but can, and has, played LB previously.

Also LWB in a back 5.

07 Feb 2026 23:32:53
Dahl & Stroud would be tremendous if they happen. Obviously, till scarf above head, nothing is certain. 🤞😁🤞

As always, cheers for sharing, Aph. 🤘😁🤘

07 Feb 2026 23:40:15
This is where it said he had played, Aphelion.
LM 55
LB 8
LW 7
RM 3
DM 3
RW 2
CM 2.
He must play many positions.

07 Feb 2026 23:49:05
Likes a goal and an assist, sounds good.

07 Feb 2026 23:57:20
A player wants a move, but signs a new deal, forcing a buyer club to pay a much higher fee than was previously thought about, but assures a good amount goes to the club which developed and trained said player. The buyer club now has to pay a premium amount to purchase said player, compared to the normal nominal fee, which equates to the player having a much reduced possible destination club unless they perform tremendously well and are in high demand, which is worth it. The buying club may look at said player in 6 months and determine that they are not worth it, which leaves said player at the current club for a longer period of time. If performances dip or injuries occur, their value drops and future clubs and destination possibilities are diminished further, leaving player, agent, and club with reduced fees and profit.

It's risky.

I saw a bottle of whisky that I want to buy, but it doesn't want me to buy it yet, so its owner makes it a deal with it to stay in its shop, hoping its value will go up and make it more money. 6 months from now, buyers look at it again and see that it's not as good as it looked before, but its price has gone up, so they decide to buy a different one. The bottle stays where it is and stagnates. 18 months from now, it's still just sitting on the same shelf and never moved, with a big price tag around its neck. Nobody made money. The bottle lost out on an opportunity of being showcased on a much bigger and better shelf, which could have made it even bigger than ever, but it chose to stay on a small shelf, never really being seen worldwide. Its value dwindled. Or it could become a sensation.

08 Feb 2026 00:39:29
Yes, My star in the sky, he is a very versatile player.

And not injured often.

08 Feb 2026 02:05:44
Aphelion, i don't know why you are persistent that this boy Dahl is signing. I can categorically tell you, yes, we had serious interest, but this boy is not coming to Scotland. He wants to play in one of the big 5 leagues, or as close to them as possible, and feels he's good enough to do so.

And i will be more than happy to call you out on this, and let's see in summer who's proved right, because he ain't coming to us 100%.

08 Feb 2026 08:22:04
Sorry, but an extended contract affects nothing but optics. What a load of rubbish. If the boy continues to play well and makes the WC squad, it certainly will have an affect on his price tag.

08 Feb 2026 08:52:02
Stiv, i'm not sure how true, pal, and i hope not, as i'd love to see us sign him, but apparently Sunderland, Liverpool, Everton, and Lazio are all showing interest in him too. I think we will need Champs League to have any leverage.

08 Feb 2026 08:57:57
Just looked Stroud up there, 2.3 million valuation with a year left, highly rated player too, by all accounts. Would be worth a look at least.

08 Feb 2026 09:09:11
I'd like to see us implement a structure similar to that which Koppen proposed when he was Technical Director.

If we look at the LB position, we now have Rommens (someone who hopefully we develop and sell in 2 seasons). We also have Scally from the academy, who should be looking to push for first team minutes next season.



Therefore, to compliment these, we'd ideally look to sign an experienced left back, preferably with experience in our league.

We typically play 50-60 games a season, so this approach makes sense to me.

08 Feb 2026 10:06:02
Looks a good player, strong runner with the ball, and very composed.

08 Feb 2026 10:53:01
Aphelion, I think we'll sign a few players that can play a good few positions. Rohl wants a squad of 22/24.

08 Feb 2026 10:58:16
EHL, that approach certainly seems sensible, my friend.

Koppen is a very intelligent man and definitely had some great ideas.

08 Feb 2026 15:22:48
Koppen was class.

08 Feb 2026 16:45:01
EHL, I had posted last week that Scaly is wanted by Arsenal and Chelsea.

I don't know anything about him, mate, so not tryna make out I do, but looks like he may be off.

08 Feb 2026 17:29:03
I just had a look, Aphelion, and I can't see any link to Rangers. Where are you seeing that one, mate?

08 Feb 2026 17:55:31
Again, told today that Scally is going to the EPL. I hope not, but it's about the money.

08 Feb 2026 22:13:32
Don't think there is one, Synser, pal.

08 Feb 2026 23:32:05
Did I say there was a link?

Read the post. Don't make up things that are not there.

09 Feb 2026 08:31:11
Why bother? Leave them hanging, Aph.

09 Feb 2026 17:57:04
Whine Dahl has done the same as Raskin, signed a new deal till 2028, with an agreed clause.

09 Feb 2026 19:20:12
Just as an aside, how impressive was the speed and efficiency with which Naderi's transfer was cleared? He arrived literally Tuesday morning and was playing the next night.

07 Feb 2026 12:51:07
See Rommens presser there saying he had an issue with his back he had to manage.

Can't mind the poster on here the other day that said he heard a few things from the players lounge and one of those was him having a back problem, that poster looks to have been spot on.

07 Feb 2026 13:56:00
I know about it, and I don't get to Ibrox anymore. It's not exactly a secret.

07 Feb 2026 14:15:07
That was me, mate.

Looking like those who called me and claimed it to be a load of "single fish", and even being called one from the dark side, seems they may have to eat a bit of humble pie today. 👌

07 Feb 2026 14:27:42
Are his back problems something that can cause him to miss more games?

07 Feb 2026 14:38:20
Davie, ye kin hold yer head up high. 👍 Took a proper battering the other day. 😅 Must feel gid!

07 Feb 2026 15:01:25
Think it was LMac. 😂

07 Feb 2026 15:06:09
Very quiet on here today. 😂

Although, as JFM has just pointed out, the info re: Rommens' back issue has been well documented at his previous club.

07 Feb 2026 15:08:33
I'm just hopeful that it doesn't continually affect Rommens in the future, as this boy looks a class left back. 👌🇬🇧

07 Feb 2026 15:52:21
They will be quiet today, mate. 😂

07 Feb 2026 15:58:31
His back issue was common knowledge, with his previous club. He has suffered it since his teens, often referred to as spondylitis.

07 Feb 2026 16:03:06
Good on the fella who posted this initially. Unless it's utter brown, folk should lay off a bit on here.
That being said, that news is worrying. Guy looks a player too.

07 Feb 2026 16:24:21
Storm
Paulydon
Angus
Foreverrangers
L-Mac

Quiet day, lads? I like it quiet. 😄

Anyway, like I stated previously, this wasn't a big secret. It was actually said in a group setting. It was just the point that I was getting called a liar, which I definitely am not. 👍🏽

07 Feb 2026 17:02:11
John, where have you seen this to be common knowledge? Where was the back up to my post the other day when I was being called out?

Btw, I'll be in the players lounge again tomorrow. This time, I think I'll keep anything I hear to myself. Save the drama. 😂

07 Feb 2026 17:31:25
Dh03dry, I don't usually like "I told you so" posts, but this one made me laugh.

07 Feb 2026 17:42:12
I have been on, and I ain't eating humble pie. You said it was currently happening. 🤣 What a whooper. Also, as folk said, common knowledge. 👍

07 Feb 2026 17:43:02
EHL, had to be done, mate. 😄

07 Feb 2026 18:00:26
Dh, it's why we did not sign him in the summer, did not realise I had to back up every post.

Why chin me and not Jfm?

07 Feb 2026 18:16:20
Storm, clearly not common knowledge to you. 😉
Anyway, I'm away to have a few beers. Enjoy your night, lads. 🍻

07 Feb 2026 18:20:11
Aye, cheers John, probably because when he originally posted it I backed his right to post it, if not for the info it said.
I'll bear in mind your post.

07 Feb 2026 18:22:46
In fairness, John,
You have a big enough job backing yourself up at times.
Fair play, Dh, enjoy the players lounge tomorrow!
If I personal message you, can you please invite me to the Thornton Sweet with you. 😅

07 Feb 2026 18:25:23
Dh, it was news to me about his back, despite it being common knowledge. Not everyone on here knows absolutely everything about every player. I know I certainly don't.

I appreciate the wee bits of information, and I hope you keep posting.

07 Feb 2026 18:35:54
DH, been out as have a social life as well. Read back my posts, and I said it wasn't you that wasn't being believed, but the person who told you.
Not sure if a back being managed is what you claimed, as you said a stress back fracture, but it is a back issue, I suppose. 😉.

So people know, spondylosis is a condition which comes from a stress fracture of the back.

It is completely different to spondylitis (which seems to be the issue). Stress fracture of the spine always takes 6-8 weeks of complete rest and then careful management to return to full fitness.
Spondylitis is an autoimmune or inflammatory condition, not a direct mechanical fracture from overuse.

Two completely different conditions, but well done on getting part of it right.

07 Feb 2026 18:18:40
John, I checked his injury record, and this hasn't popped up. I was just wondering where you had seen this, that is all.

07 Feb 2026 19:12:19
Fair play to you, Dh03dry, pal. You took it well too, lol.

07 Feb 2026 19:23:33
Angus, there was nothing to get right, mate. I only posted what I was told from a player, like I stated. It wasn't guess work, and I wasn't lying about a current player telling me a few things that I had questioned. I asked him about Rommens, I said I liked the look of him, and that was his reply with regards to his spine injury. Maybe pointing towards his minutes being managed, and to not get too excited about him playing consistently just yet. That's what I took from it. I've no reason to disbelieve him.

GMW, thanks mate, appreciate it. I will continue to post. After reflection, I won't take any of what was said personal. 😂

CO2, aye mate, just drop me a message in here and I'll get you in. 😂😂😂😂

07 Feb 2026 19:33:33
I do not name private sources, DHL. Thelwell wanted him in summer, was not fit. His present injury was his back, not ankle, as Transfer Market reports. Enjoy your beers.

07 Feb 2026 19:35:46
Dh03 Dry, calm down, ye made yer point. It's a rumours page, n things also get said. Yer bound to know folk would call ye out. Ye were right, folk were wrong. Well done.

07 Feb 2026 20:24:52
DH, I did not comment on your post because I had nothing to add.

You are entitled to post whatever rumour you wish on the site, whether it proves to be true or not.

I did not defend your right to post because I have to defend myself all too often and, to be frank, any time I have defended anyone, it results in a pile on towards me.



To be fair to John, he also has to defend himself all too often on here and quite rightly avoided the inevitable animosity that would follow were he to have commented.

I hope you continue to post more often, but be prepared to defend yourself, as it is inevitable that there will be some negativity regardless.

07 Feb 2026 20:38:45
Angus,
A few, including myself, criticised the player that allegedly discussed Rommens medical history openly.
You've correctly articulated exactly the reason why, and how easily someone's actual condition or injury could change in translation.
This is exactly the reason why the player in the hospitality lounge shouldn't have been discussing Rommens private medical history openly.

07 Feb 2026 21:01:18
Aphelion, yeah, I get it. I'll definitely take your advice going forward. Thanks.

CO2, just to confirm, one of my best mates, who I was with, has become pretty close friends with said player, so it wasn't said to random fans. Also, by the sounds of it, Rommens injury wasn't that private, if going by what's been said here today, with people confirming they had already knew about this injury.


Don't want to sound like any of us are gossiping, just wanted to share what I was told, as didn't think any of it was privy.

07 Feb 2026 21:21:44
Folk need to stop the my dad's bigger than yours mentality and get on the same bus.

07 Feb 2026 21:55:55
Dh,
I'd absolutely love to attend the Thornton Suite.
I'm ticking off the bucket list at the moment.
Attended Europa final in Seville.
Attended all 3 Scotland Euro matches in Germany.
I have been allocated tickets for the Scotland/Morocco and Scotland/Brazil World Cup match in USA, accommodation and flights booked/paid.
The above with both my sons, which is important to me.


I want to and will do the Ibrox tour one day.
I'd absolutely love to add the Thornton Suite to that list and die happily.
If I'm very fussy, I'd also go to the Masters and Wimbledon, but I'd prefer the Thornton Suite. 🤣
Keep posting the rumours, I think you're now a proud member of the ITK, like it or not. 😂

07 Feb 2026 22:17:39
CO2, I took a little bit of umbrage at being accused of criticising DH, when all I did was try to show it was the leak who I had issues with.

I also did question whether the player would be returned to full fitness so quickly if it was the claimed stress fracture, especially as he was able to return to training immediately. A lesser stress reaction, such as bone inflammation, could recover in the 3-4 weeks which this has taken.

Just questioning from my knowledge and experience of this. Can never be 100% based on the basic info which was given, granted.

I just don't like being tarred with something I am not guilty of. Yes, I argued that the injury didn't fit with normal time frames, but never called the OP a liar.

07 Feb 2026 22:22:26
DH, the issue with people giving you confidences is, I suspect, they don't think you are going to go and spread them all across social media. Maybe just me, but I have always treated things my friends (and their friends) tell me with discretion.

They tell me knowing it will remain with me and go no further. Just me being loyal to them, I guess. Different strokes for different folks though. 😉

07 Feb 2026 23:13:59
Angus, like I have stated several times now, this conversation wasn't in discretion and was shared openly to myself and several others. If anything was shared to myself in discretion that I think is a bit of a sore topic or private on their behalf, I most certainly wouldn't be sharing it on social media. Cheers.

CO2 😂 not after much then eh mate haha. Aww, the World Cup will be class, wee bit jealous on that behalf. You'll enjoy that. 👌🏽 Yeah, I've been in the players lounge a couple times now, it's superb. Well looked after by all the staff, that's for sure. Maybe one day you'll get in mate, I'm sure of that. 😄

07 Feb 2026 23:43:54
Dh,
Really enjoyed your contribution, mate.
I started typing that, and my phone auto corrected to contraband. 😂
Take care, mate. Doesn't sound like the back issue was any secret anyway.

07 Feb 2026 23:54:33
I gave my opinion. You passed on information that was already out there and said your photos looked just like any other photos of fans meeting players, it didn't prove you being invited by one.

I don't post a lot on here at times, and I won't shrink away from anything. Enjoy yer weekend, pal. 👍

08 Feb 2026 08:26:25
That was me, Dh, and I also said at the time I was joking on the darkside comment. I'm also a big Star Wars fan, and I also commented that I'd seen your posts before and knew you were not a Tim. It was more that you were desperate to find a negative in Boy's performance, rather than just praising his football.

08 Feb 2026 09:19:54
Forever, I didn't comment anything negative of his performance, mate. The comment on the boy's back injury came off the back of me saying to said player, "oh I liked the look of the new LB Rommens when he came on," to which he agreed and pointed to him having a bit of an issue.

No negativity about his performance. Anyway, we will draw a line under it and move onto today, hoping for a big win, with plenty minutes in the new guy legs. Mon the Gers. 🙌🇬🇧

08 Feb 2026 11:57:28
Dh03dry, thanks for the info. I am amazed those who criticise then try and justify it by saying that there shouldn't be leaks.
Just a reminder - ITS A RUMOURS PAGE you're READING!
If you don't want rumours, don't read a rumours page!
Read a no leaks today page!
I enjoy reading the rumours, as I clamour for all that is Rangers.

I realise they may be untrue, so ty to those who contribute.

08 Feb 2026 12:21:59
Place is bonkers, damned if u do, damned if u don't.

08 Feb 2026 15:26:59
Dh03dry

Brilliant!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Bet that feels good. 🤣

And Stromtrooper, typical of him. 😳🫠

08 Feb 2026 16:30:54
Funny, I didn't get the same support when I also spoke about the Sakala and Beale stuff. The so-called big poster tried to put me down, only to come back later and call Beale a rat.

Its hard not to get cynical on here sometimes.

08 Feb 2026 18:06:13
Co, great list. Thornton Suite is achievable. Also, get yourself to Wimbledon, preferably Centre Court, best non football sporting event I've attended.

Also attended an Ashes match a couple of times.

09 Feb 2026 11:38:29
Dh03dry, fair play, man. I just thought talking about a worrisome injury over performance was negative. Fair, if that was not the intention, then I apologise for my hasty response. Was just on a high after the game.

All good, man. Its good that we can disagree, leave it there, and move on. Respect.

09 Feb 2026 19:10:34
The Ashes would have been fantastic, John.
I was at Madison Square Garden last year to attend a New York Knicks basketball match while in New York. Other than paying 20 dollars per pint for Brooklyn beer, I absolutely enjoyed the experience.

Beer tasted great though.
I also went to a New York Giants NFL match while in NY, but it wasn't that impressive, slow moving, and a poor view as high up in the stadium.

06 Feb 2026 14:19:08
Jesse Lingard to Rangers for the summer is that a genuine rumour?

06 Feb 2026 15:00:36
Wouldn't want him anyway.

06 Feb 2026 15:37:46
He's a free agent, so if it were true, I can't see us waiting until summer.

06 Feb 2026 15:38:00
Hope not, mate.

06 Feb 2026 16:33:01
JFM, it would take him to summer to get fit after the inevitable long-term injury caused by signing a contract.

06 Feb 2026 16:41:31
Never sure why people always link us to once upon a time proteges who didn't do anything after their initial burst on the scene. I see it similar to Lins with old players. People remember how they played at the time, and base their decisions on that.

Lingard, since a loan move to West Ham in 2021 where he was reasonably productive, has done nothin of note since. Not sure 19 in 66 games in Korea is a real endorsement. So no from me.

06 Feb 2026 18:08:47
This reminds me of Ramsay. Look how that turned out.

06 Feb 2026 18:44:01
Aphelion, plus the weight of carrying his pay packet would add to his injury woes.

06 Feb 2026 19:07:49
Don't say that name, Deecee. 😔

06 Feb 2026 19:22:47
Aphe, I agree. I have my blindfold and ear protectors on for the shouts of wage thief. 😉

06 Feb 2026 21:51:00
Hopefully not. He has a terrible attitude & isn't actually that good, plus he'd be on a lot of money too. There was a whole lot of free agents that would've been on similar money who would have been better, like Tomiyasu, who's now at Ajax (RB, CB & LB he can play).

06 Feb 2026 21:51:10
That's not even a rumour, I would file that along with flat earth theory.

06 Feb 2026 21:58:38
The guy is an absolute walloper. Don't want him near us.

06 Feb 2026 23:06:39
No thanks. We are a football club, not social media drama.

07 Feb 2026 03:24:24
Oh no! He's an individual and far from what we need to build a team. More money and bother than what he's worth for us. Talented lad, but he's not for us.

07 Feb 2026 08:32:39
No thanks, another who blew it.

07 Feb 2026 10:46:19
It's funny how, because they are signing The Ox, who's another player who has hardly played and done nothing for years, the rumours start we singing Jesse. Utter nonsense.

08 Feb 2026 08:30:58
A big no from me. We have just got the club moving in the right direction with a younger profile of player. This would be a backwards slide to the old ways for me.

These type of signings should be done in Jan only as injury cover or panic moves, like Celtic with Iheanacho. Could throw The Ox in there too, as not played a lot and rarely fit, but if they get him going, certainly will be better than the couple they have.



Im hoping the Celtic need to sign players on short term deals to end of season makes them come a cropper, when players get concerned about not getting injured towards end of season. However, we have a few on loan too.

06 Feb 2026 08:33:57
Anyone got any info on Butland? Believe he's in to his final year after the summer. Will we be looking to sell, let him run out his contract or sign him up for another year or two?

06 Feb 2026 10:11:03
Too many gaffs. He makes saves, but that's his job. Tavernier incident, nutmeg on byline, miss kick pushed into own net. A replacement should be sourced now.

06 Feb 2026 10:24:00
Too many gaffs, he's literally saved us 20 points this season.

06 Feb 2026 10:39:46
Lets just win this title first. ✌️👍

06 Feb 2026 11:14:56
Personally, I hope we keep Jack.

06 Feb 2026 11:20:08
All the best keepers make mistakes.

Butland has single handedly saved us on many occasions, kept us in games, etc.

Hes the best keeper in the country for sure.

Unfortunately, Butland hasn't had a good defence/team in front of him since he arrived.

But there's no pleasing some people.

06 Feb 2026 11:35:25
Waltersguitar, just wondered, as I bide in Dunfermline and was speaking to another parent when dropping kids off. He's a Pars fan but doesn't rate Mehmet (keeper) at all! Said the noise from the stands for months now was to give Munn a chance, but we've obviously now recalled him. Got me to thinking about Butland.

06 Feb 2026 11:50:53
Keep Jack.

06 Feb 2026 12:02:44
Id hate to think where we'd be this season if it wasn't for him. Probably in the relegation zone.

Yes, he makes mistakes, as does every player. It's just keepers mistakes are more costly.

He's human. Is it possible some people have unrealistic expectations of him?

He's a great keeper in my opinion.

06 Feb 2026 12:03:05
He's a good keeper, got a mistake in him, yes. Should we look for a better keeper? Yes, but not going to hate on him. He's definitely done more good than bad.

06 Feb 2026 12:06:26
Recalled as he was 3rd choice. Boy needs to be playing every week. Butland, for me, has been class this season.

06 Feb 2026 12:44:50
Actually, I just read EHL's post from earlier. He mentions we have agreements in place with a keeper.

06 Feb 2026 13:00:30
He made a terrible mistake on Wednesday, but it wasn't a mis-kick pushed into his own net. The Killie player scored it. He was also at fault for Porto's second goal (not Tav), but he made some good saves against Hibs on Sunday and has been brilliant in other games this season, especially in Europe.

If we are going to replace him, it has to be with somebody better. Could we afford somebody of a higher level, and who would that be? He does make mistakes and is maybe not at the level of the goalies we've had in the recent past, but anybody who thinks they didn't make mistakes too have very selective memories.

06 Feb 2026 13:02:07
Should we, as a club, be looking for better than what we have in every single position? Yes, not just goalkeeper.

That being said, would I be angry if we started next season with Butland as our number 1? No, great shot stopper and has saved us multiple times already, even though he is prone to errors, but so is every keeper.

06 Feb 2026 13:07:48
Butland on for Player of the Year.

06 Feb 2026 13:11:15
Rwn1978, I'm in Burntisland though a Girvan boy. Munn will come good. And, for the record, I'm not hating Butland. However, when I see the quality being sourced and historically we've had some great keepers, Butland has been a bomb scare at times.

Agreed, he's saved us at times and is a good keeper, but he's not up there for me. Well defended though. People seem to forget he's a nervous wreck in front of his own fans. I'll agree to disagree.
Kelly for Queens game, surely.

06 Feb 2026 13:18:11
Wslgersforever, I didn't mean miskick into net. That was two gaffs. His miss kick led to a goal. This season, flapped into own net. Ok?
If we lose the league on goal difference, let's see who defends him.

06 Feb 2026 13:32:41
Munn is three or four years away from first team football at Rangers. He has just went to Forfar.

Kind of shows he is not ready.

06 Feb 2026 13:34:05
Keep, the positives far outweigh the negatives, and he's a leader and a genuinely good guy. Loves the club, and even the best goalkeepers make mistakes, but they also win points with big saves that Jack has done time and time again.

06 Feb 2026 13:50:31
I'd like a better goalie, but wouldn't be sad if he stays. Has pulled off some amazing stops, but some of the errors have been bad. Not as prolific as the game savers, but we have had keepers before who saved games with fewer errors.

06 Feb 2026 13:55:14
Every keeper makes mistakes, if they didn't, they would be worth 100m, he saves us more than not and pulls off some terrific saves.

06 Feb 2026 14:12:40
Butland is a very good professional. We should look to keep him at the club. He understands what the club is about.

06 Feb 2026 14:47:58
Walter, I'm a Bathgate lad myself. Was lucky enough to grow up in the era when we had 'The Goalie', then, of course, the likes of Klos and McGregor more recently! It's going to be hard for any keeper to live up to those guys. Those were the days. 😅

06 Feb 2026 14:57:21
There have only been 2 occasions where the league has been won or lost on goal difference, so the chances of it happening are really small. And how do you judge that Butland's error was the one goal which caused us to lose the league, if it were to happen? What if we win on goal difference, then it could be argued it was the multitude of saves he made for near certain goals which caused the circumstances for us to win it. What about other players in other games who made mistakes that led to goals? To blame Butland for that mistake just defies any logic.


I suspect he will be here next year, and maybe longer, but that would depend on salary demands and if better is available at the right price. Personally, I would keep him next year, buy his long-term replacement, and give him a season to settle into the role of being our GK.


I think every player we have, there is always a tendency for fans to think the grass is greener. Keep the best we have, those that aren't problems, and add quality to that.

06 Feb 2026 15:26:10
We would still be double figures behind in the league and embarrassed in Europe if not for Butland. Fact.

06 Feb 2026 15:34:04
Munn is leaving is he not? That's what I've been reading.

06 Feb 2026 15:50:40
Agree Butland has been better this season and has come up with some big saves, but his flaws are obvious. Doesn't command his box / doesn't come out his box / not comfortable with ball at his feet / doesn't deal with crosses.


More than a decent shot stopper, but GK position is about so much more now. And remember, he's not just prone to a mistake or 2, he's prone to some big clangers.

06 Feb 2026 15:58:30
He has made a few mistakes, but generally been good. The grass isn't always greener, look at all the issues Celtic have been having trying to find a decent keeper.

Ideally, we want to bring in a potential replacement and have both in the squad for next season to compete.

06 Feb 2026 16:01:54
Can't believe anybody would want him to leave. He's been outstanding this season, and if it hadn't been for some crucial saves, we would be mid table right now. Has a mistake or two, but who doesn't?

06 Feb 2026 16:05:58
GDog, off to Forfar on loan. 👍

06 Feb 2026 17:00:52
Walter, if we lose the title on gd, then sure you can look at the few goals Jack was at fault for, but on the other side of it, consider how many games we drew under Martin, and a few so far under Rohl, because we had either poor tactics or inept performances from the players paid to stick the ball in the net.

I'm not 100% confident with Jack, but he's rarely started with the same defence in front of him all season.

06 Feb 2026 17:27:10
Yes, Butland has made mistakes. But what keeper doesn't? He has saved us a number of times this season. It would have been a defeat if it wasn't for him at Hibs.

06 Feb 2026 18:00:02
His shot stopping is excellent, but he's awful with the ball at his feet. If we can upgrade in the summer, we should.

Hopefully our defence will be even stronger next season too.

06 Feb 2026 18:28:04
AllyMcC62, Rangers have the best defensive record in the league, so far, this season. So the "Butland hasn't had a decent defence.." remark doesn't really stand up.

He makes mistakes of his own doing, and always will.

06 Feb 2026 19:11:10
WaltersGuitar, so you are saying if Rangers lose the league on goal difference, it will be down to that goal we conceded against Kilmarnock, which means Butland will get the blame. You think the fans will just forget all the saves that won us games and points, will ignore all the goals given away by others, and ignore all the chances missed by the three terrible strikers we have had up to now, who have definitely cost us bigger wins and points too.

If the league even goes to gd, it will partly be down to a last minute penalty save by Butland at Easter Road, which stopped us dropping 2 points. They will win the league as a team, and if they lose it will be due to the team, not one guy.

06 Feb 2026 19:26:27
He has been culpable for 3 goals, possibly, this season. Beaten at the near post for both Hearts goals and Wednesday. These are included in the stats for goals he has saved that he isn't expected to, which sits at around 7.5. So, on balance, he does more for us than he does against.

Can he punt the ball 40 metres every time and it reaches our player in space? Well, no, but can any outfield player we have? The sweeper keeper idealism everyone has comes from Neuer at his peak, and not many have managed to get close to that. Rather have one who has that positive goal impact tbh.

06 Feb 2026 19:32:54
A lot of the arguing about Butland suggests either A. He can only be a good goalkeeper or B. He's rotten and makes too many mistakes. The truth is somewhere in between.

He has made the second most mistakes in the league leading to a goal or shot (6), and that's including outfield players. Only Mitov of Aberdeen has made more (8).

He has also won us his fair share of points, as Storm points out, in games like the Hibs away last week.

The truth is Butland is a goalkeeper who is capable of the extraordinary and the calamity.

The question isn't should we replace him, it's can we find a goalkeeper as good at winning us points but without the mistakes. That's a much more difficult thing to do and, in my opinion, would cost a fair chunk of change.

Priority is sorting the back 4 next season for me, with the OOC and loans ending. Then it's chance creation and most likely replacing Raskin. From there, if a goalkeeper appears, sure, go for it, but I wouldn't be forcing it.

07 Feb 2026 10:55:36
The mistake the other night was a howler, but he's saved us a lot more than he's cost us this season imo. It's down to lack of concentration that he made it, as he never had anything to do the other night, so maybe he needs work on that.

He has bounced back from being written off so many times last season. Yes, we know he's not always best with the ball at his feet and should just punt it long at times instead of a fancy pass or being too clever with it, but he's the best keeper we have.



I would be more than happy with him as no1 next season and bring in another keeper, maybe to take over the following season.

@superb Jack Butland in goals.

08 Feb 2026 08:35:00
Seriously, what's with all the negativity at the moment? It's like the booing the other day. Normally, i would back the right of people to boo, but as well reported, we were a goal and man up and have been notorious for our slow first halves.



But to single out Butland for error when it was obviously him doing a double take at old man Djiga that put him off lol. Prob thought it was a fan passing to him and not a footballer.

Djiga, stop putting off your team mates lol.

06 Feb 2026 08:16:12
EHL,

You managed to pick anything up on Rommens possibly having this back fracture and do we think he will be off the field now until he's recovered?
Surely he shouldn't be playing through a stress fracture if true.

Was also wanting to ask do you see Dahl signing for us in summer?

06 Feb 2026 09:58:26
Not sure why you think he would be off the field. If he had a back fracture that wasn't healed, he wouldn't have got played on Wednesday, and he definitely wouldn't be covering the ground the way he did if he was suffering from such an injury.

06 Feb 2026 10:10:18
Hello, other than the post on here, I haven't heard anything with regards to Rommens, other than he arrived with some ankle bruising that delayed his debut.

As I posted yesterday though, a stress fracture on the spine isn't as scary as it sounds. It's actually pretty common and easy to treat.

To my knowledge, we've already have agreements in place with a GK, CB and a CDM. I don't have any confirmed names, but I'd hazard a guess that it's not Dahl.

06 Feb 2026 10:54:37
Apparently JHD has signed an extension till 2029.

06 Feb 2026 11:37:25
For top sportsmen, stress fractures are not that uncommon. I'm sure all this will have been declared and cleared during the medical.
Move on, and enjoy what's to come from this lad.

06 Feb 2026 11:59:50
Thanks EHL. 😊

06 Feb 2026 12:47:40
EHL, do you know anything in regards to Bailey Rice? Aston Villa and West Brom? I know he has a knee injury.

06 Feb 2026 13:00:56
Also, sorry to be a pest. 😅 Do you think the GK will be our first choice keeper, or do you expect us to give Butland another year or two (only has a year left this summer), therefore a new GK as backup?

06 Feb 2026 13:01:56
Trueblue, that is correct, although details were agreed well in advance of the extension to give Tromso the ability to get the fee they want.

06 Feb 2026 13:06:25
Danny Rohl was asked about Bailey Rice a week or so ago, and he seemed to indicate that he wants him to stay at Rangers. I also heard somebody else talking about a year's extension for him, so it looks like its up to him. If he wants to stay and see if he can impress Danny Rohl, having failed to impress our previous managers, it looks like he can sign on again.

If not, he can leave. I can't see him breaking into the Aston Villa squad, and West Brom are one of the Championship basket case clubs, so it would be a risky career move to go there.

06 Feb 2026 13:41:34
My 17 year old has had a couple of stress fractures on his spine. Yeah, quite common in football and cricket, especially in taller boys.

My boy has had one heal fully, and the other didn't heal, so he will play with it like that forever.

Maybe this is what Rommens has?

06 Feb 2026 13:43:02
Cheers Aph, that's what crossed my mind.

06 Feb 2026 18:05:18
I'm guessing the CDM could be Eric Martel. He can play CB too, which would be valuable for us.
