Rangers Transfer Rumours

08 Sep 2026 16:25:10
Appears Souttar has been given permission to talk to a club in Poland and Greece

McCausland talking to a Greek club

08 Sep 2026 16:56:51
Probably best for all he's 4th choice no easy Sterling and Ross can fill at cb at a push.

08 Sep 2026 17:28:49
Rec, imo, club want him out, seems more than a spat with Rohl.

08 Sep 2026 17:53:54
John, very difficult to leave Rangers when he's collecting a huge wage and not earning it.
Does he see out his contract at Rangers or does he bite the bullet and move on?

08 Sep 2026 18:04:11
He will want to be involved with Scotland under new manager. He won't be skint, so best for all if he moves on.

08 Sep 2026 18:06:22
He'll do the best thing for his career, Baxter, move on.

08 Sep 2026 18:18:57
Whatever has happened sounds like it's best for player and club. 🇬🇧

08 Sep 2026 18:17:26
John, was a story not in the S*n last year about our players messing about down South??? I heard he was involved ✌️

08 Sep 2026 18:30:19
My star, maybe not. Some prefer the money.

08 Sep 2026 18:31:42
So we're loaning out Souttar and Nsiala.

That would leave us with 3 recognised centre backs, one of which has a reputation for not being available throughout a season in Godfrey.

08 Sep 2026 19:05:50
Yately, what do u mean by that ie messing about.



Stevie, where does it say we r loaning out two chs?

08 Sep 2026 19:10:16
He's talking about the physio story, John, in hotel rooms. I vaguely remember it being in papers, but can't remember the details.

08 Sep 2026 19:20:39
Yatsly, Wishy, people need to be very careful what they say on social media.

08 Sep 2026 20:24:23
I have heard from a few very reliable sources about Souttar and the physio. He sold his house back in June and will be moved on. Rightly so.

08 Sep 2026 20:24:35
Chance Liga is still open, might be a shout, shuts soon tho.

08 Sep 2026 20:25:25
Think the Chance Liga is currently open.

08 Sep 2026 20:25:37
Stevie, even if Nsiala and Souttar don't leave, neither of them will get close to playing for us in any case. So best both move on. Neither have been anywhere near a match day squad in 10 competitive games or even throughout pre-season. They aren't suddenly about to start getting selected.

After the international break, we only have 1 game a week most weeks, with not being in Europe. 3 CB's and Sterling and McCrorie as back ups if ever required is more than enough. And if we do pick up any serious injuries in that area we are less than 4 months away from another transfer window.

08 Sep 2026 20:36:41
John, I was trying to be as sensitive as I could be, but surely you know this story, and you are basically saying I shouldn't have brought it up. You guys have been going round and round about the real reason why he's been asked to leave.

08 Sep 2026 20:39:28
John, Rangers were very disappointed in Souttar!!

08 Sep 2026 21:05:39
This is a rumours site and a banter site and some people take it way too seriously.

It's been a bit of an annoyance to me that nobody has just come out and said what's what regarding the situation on here.

Seems it's ok to post any reason as long as it's not the true reason.



From what I can see here, Souttar has been running about with the physio behind his wife's back?

Nothing wrong with posting that on here as far as I'm concerned.

John, u asked where does it say 2 cb's? All over online I've read both are leaving on loan.

08 Sep 2026 21:15:37
Don't hold back, Stevie_G!!. 😂

Like your style, mate, and I can appreciate the sensitivity around Souttar's situation, but it is a rumours forum after all.

08 Sep 2026 21:22:26
He's big, he's s****, he sh*gs two birds a night.

Not got quite the same ring to it.

08 Sep 2026 21:31:53
Seriously, you should always say allegedly. This is a rumours and banter site, but unless you have verified facts, posting salacious statements is not helpful to anyone.

08 Sep 2026 22:29:49
Ytetly, bring up what u want, it's a faceless site.

As a retired lawyer, I always advise caution.


Yayeley, I've not been going round and round, just chose to stay clear of it.

He signed his new contract after paper stories.

09 Sep 2026 07:07:26
Yately, not done anything wrong here, he sensitively brought up a rumour that's been on here plenty. How serious are we getting here?

09 Sep 2026 08:02:40
A heard a Souttar blames Alan McGregor's goalie gloves. He tried just one on and remembers nothing after that. 😂

09 Sep 2026 09:08:27
The physio story was a while ago. He's played numerous times since. I'd be amazed if it's that. Personally, I think he's had a bust up with the club over the Tav last game situation and the clubs did what they did to Kenny Miller / Lee Wallace, and he's been told his future is elsewhere.



Again, only my opinion, but there must be a reason McInnes isn't selecting him. Loads of players were told their futures lied elsewhere and still got minutes, so imo something has definitely happened off the park.

09 Sep 2026 09:52:20
That makes sense, Wishy, although we're all unlikely to find out the truth.

09 Sep 2026 10:19:30
Same as myself, Wishy.

07 Sep 2026 18:54:00
This is rumour and online speculation on John Souttar:

No Mutual Termination: Despite rampant fan speculation, there has been no mutual termination of his contract. Releasing him now would make little financial sense for Rangers, as post-deadline rules mean he would be unable to register for another Scottish club immediately.

January Window: He is expected to stay at the club as an expensive squad depth option until at least the January transfer window, where Rangers will likely try to offload him again to recoup a fee or free up wages.

The "real reason" circulating in fan circles points to a major behind-the-scenes falling out and a refusal to play under a previous manager, rather than a simple tactical decision. While the club maintains the standard "seeking a fresh challenge" line, specific rumors and context from the Ibrox support paint a much more turbulent picture.

The Alleged Refusal to Play: Rumours on prominent platforms like Reddit's Rangers community suggest Souttar had a massive, irreconcilable bust-up with a previous manager (reportedly over team dynamics involving James Tavernier) and actively refused to play for him.

The Club's Retaliation: Because he allegedly refused to play, the board and management took a hardline stance. Even when Derek McInnes took over as manager and Souttar reportedly indicated he was willing to play again, the club hierarchy reportedly stepped in and blocked his reintegration, telling him he had no future at Ibrox for breaking squad discipline.

There is lots more speculation and rumour and probably some bs, but I guess we'll know more when we hear from the gaffer.

07 Sep 2026 19:49:52
If that is the case, why did we give a new contract? As we could have met him go when Rohl was still in charge.

07 Sep 2026 20:08:26
I heard it's because he refused a new contract on lower wages.

07 Sep 2026 20:09:44
Fork, he would not be able to sign for any league, the window has closed.

07 Sep 2026 20:17:37
That's covered in the post. If we release him, he'd be free, would he not, John? Just to reiterate, it's just what I found. It's not mine. I'm just posting it as info I found, bud.

{Ed001's Note - he would be free, but as he would have left after the window is closed, he can't sign anywhere without an open window until after January.}

07 Sep 2026 20:12:41
Goat boy his contract was dybefore alleged fallout.
Fork u don't between will be told what's happening

07 Sep 2026 20:24:48
If, and it's a big if, this is true that he refused to play for the previous manager, I fully agree with the club's stance.

He is employed and paid by Rangers, Not any manager.

07 Sep 2026 20:25:43
Fork see Ed's reply. Can't sign till a window opens, he could go to Greece Serbia Portugal as it stands

07 Sep 2026 20:30:34
And if he refused to play for a previous manager that would suggest it was Rohl as he played after Martin left. However, he played the last game of the season, so that just can't be true either.

In the words of Rees-Mogg: "Where there is a vacuum of news, it is always filled with rubbish."

07 Sep 2026 20:33:07
Cheers 001 didn't know that. 👍
Not getting the gist of what you're saying, John? Think u had a mistype, bud.

07 Sep 2026 20:35:02
Got u now, John, I didn't know that, and again, it's not mine, it's just info I found having a nosey.

07 Sep 2026 20:57:16
It's cool, Fork, every day a school day.

07 Sep 2026 21:00:14
He can't play, but it's only a matter of time before this is challenged in the courts. All football will eventually operate in conjunction with work law.

It simply has to, seeing it's a job.

07 Sep 2026 21:05:16
6 months left in January. Will leave on a free or see his contract out, we will get no fee now.

07 Sep 2026 21:59:03
It's not really an odd situation. I'm sure plenty of clubs have a player that wanted out but didn't get their move, and the club then have a decision whether to reintegrate them into the squad.

Most likely, everyone was happy for him to, since a 1 year extension at that point. The falling out with Rohl was due to the last day of the season with Tav.

After the end of the season he said he didn't want to play under Rohl, so it was agreed he should go. Somehow a move never happened, so we are now where we are.

Unless he agrees to leave on the cheap, then he will be around until Jan when we may get a minimal fee. Personally, I think he should knuckle down and then we see if he can play a part in the squad.

08 Sep 2026 07:27:05
Huey, I agree with your post.

But it does sound, like the player himself was happy to play under McInnes, however it looks like owners have taken huff with in after he had said he wouldn't play under Rohl going forward after last day of season.

That's how I'm reading it.



If any of this is actually factual.

If I read what EHL has been saying, then it may all be absolute nonsense and there is some other personal issue with Souttar as to why he's not playing.
And everything else is just hearsay and made up speculation.

08 Sep 2026 08:26:49
As I said in the OP, Stig, rumour, speculation and probably some bs, bud. 👍

08 Sep 2026 08:39:05
I gave a very clear explanation of what I was told by my friend about Souttar, his stance with Rohl, and McInnes.

It will all come out, trust me, I was extremely disappointed and personally think he should be no where near our club.

08 Sep 2026 10:43:36
If a player refuses to play, is that not a breach of contract, which presumably carries sanctions for the player? Although I appreciate in reality, in any workplace, it's often a bit more complicated than that.

08 Sep 2026 11:12:56
I can believe all that, but then he played the full game in the last game of the season against Falkirk!?

Doesn't make sense? Or did the fallout happen after last game of the season???

08 Sep 2026 12:28:36
No doubt there will be two sides to a story.

08 Sep 2026 12:29:57
He captained the side under both Martin and Rohl and played in the last game of the season at Falkirk, which was after Tavs fall out with Rohl, so when did he refuse to play and under what manager? Unless he went off on an angry rant after the Falkirk games and said he didn't want to play for Rohl again.

That would have been a daft thing to do given he was heading off to the USA and he would have no idea if Rohl would even be manager when the new season started. Remember, he didn't play any minutes at all for Scotland, so I'm wondering if there is something more personal going on.

08 Sep 2026 12:27:23
Stig, imo multi million pound. Bushmen don't take the huff as u say

Warp very interesting u now have access to disciplinary matters at our club, yes billy clearly a breach however an investigation would be required to determine facts

Madrid it is very possible that at that stage the inveyhaf not been concluded

I suspect, and it's simply an opinion his contract will be allowed to wind down and we won't take up optioff a furtyyear, Souttar then a few hundred thousand richer

08 Sep 2026 13:30:10
Portugal's window closed on 1 September.

08 Sep 2026 15:06:46
Israeli transfer window still open, I believe, so maybe Kenny Miller would fancy the player to work with Tav?

08 Sep 2026 16:08:07
A free agent can sign for any club outwith the transfer window, they just can't be registered in any squad until the new window opens.

{Ed001's Note - unless they became a free agent prior to the end of the previous transfer window.}

08 Sep 2026 16:52:05
One of about 20 players who are refusing to play!

08 Sep 2026 18:15:17
East, our squad has 29 players. Would be interested to hear the other 19.

07 Sep 2026 18:37:23
I seen a report not long ago that Rangers fear that shankland might not play again for us this year 😲☹️🇬🇧

07 Sep 2026 18:49:54
Shankland out for 3 months.

07 Sep 2026 18:55:05
It will be what it will be, let's wait on the manager update tomorrow, scan was this afternoon.

07 Sep 2026 19:03:20
Even if it's 3 months, you're talking after January, by the time he gets fit and match sharp, about February.

07 Sep 2026 19:09:48
Rfc, we can add anything to the time frame. What the manager said, from injury to first game back, was three months. Once Rangers know what grade of injury he sustained, it will help them develop a recovery plan.

Let's not forget many on here were saying how slow and ineffective he was.

07 Sep 2026 19:38:20
Have a feeling he might need managed when he does come back. Similar to Sterling.

07 Sep 2026 21:06:51
John, I agree but let's face it he's not coming back from a 3 month injury as currently reported and jumping starting back in would be February at the earliest before we see him and he was ineffective but hit a bit of form.

07 Sep 2026 21:17:26
We have 3 fit strikers and, right now, playing only 1 up front should be fine to January. We also don't need to worry about Europe, so players have more recovery time, which should see other types of injuries happen less.

07 Sep 2026 21:31:32
Hamstring injuries are usually between 2 weeks and a maximum of 12. It's the start of September. Even in the worst case, he should be back on the training pitch at the start of December.
Have to applaud the board for paying £9m to bring KK in, or we would be struggling.


Can you imagine, if their 2 strikers across the road had the same bad luck, they would be right up against it.
Whereas we are slowly progressing game by game, and a victory on Sunday could be a massive shot in the arm before our trip to the dark side a week later.

08 Sep 2026 06:17:48
Absolutely 56, we've been unlucky with probably our top 2 strikers getting injured, but should give Naderi and Kelsey the run in the team, which will give them the best chance to do well.

08 Sep 2026 08:57:32
Do we have some sort of jinx, the number of players (admittedly some with already questionable fitness records) that have signed for us & very soon thereafter suffered a fairly, if not long term injury, is unreal. Fans on here with better memories than I have these days 🤔 will be able to list a few.

08 Sep 2026 09:06:17
Naderi isn't the answer. 🤕

08 Sep 2026 12:32:29
Naderi may not be the answer, but none of our other strikers would have got that goal on Saturday, and with decent finishing by others, he would also have had two assists to his name.

08 Sep 2026 13:12:31
Let's hope Kelsey is a bigger Morelos without the red cards and we don't miss Shankland much, we are due a wee bit of luck.

08 Sep 2026 13:51:03
Obviously, Shankland knows where the net is, but he's looked very unfit, even prior to this injury, one he's obviously had before. He either knuckles down and gets fit, or could ultimately end up barely playing for us again!

07 Sep 2026 14:10:18
Expecting an update to be provided on Souttar's situation this week.

07 Sep 2026 15:05:45
Here is hoping.

07 Sep 2026 16:12:22
The current situation is no good for anybody. Presumably his options for leaving are now much more restricted, but there's no point in him rotting on the bench. If Jack Hendry is anything to go by, he could head off to Saudi etc. and still get picked for the National Team. But maybe that's wishful thinking on my part!

07 Sep 2026 15:49:00
can anyone confirm what the actual situation is/was to being with?

Other than him playing like total mince.

07 Sep 2026 16:04:04
I'm surprised Souttar didn't leave this window. I know there was interest but was there any offers? Is he just happy collecting his large wage? Did he fail any medicals?
Is anybody in the know regarding this?

07 Sep 2026 18:34:45
Didn't McInnes say he would talk about this today, after the game.

07 Sep 2026 18:39:23
Yes, wslgers, said we'd hear more about Souttar at the start of the week, thinking maybe he'll soon be a free.

07 Sep 2026 18:56:50
Only problem I have with a free is it will cost us, I'd leave him to sit it out.

07 Sep 2026 19:00:19
Aye, he'll be serving coffees full time shortly.

07 Sep 2026 19:39:15
Me too John. He will be desperate to find a club by January.

08 Sep 2026 08:30:15
If the rumours about Souttar are true, then I am pleased the club have taken this stance with him. No player should be dictating when and if they are going to play for our club. 💪🇬🇧

08 Sep 2026 12:35:53
We can only free him if he agrees to it as he has a contract.We would probably have to pay him which would be a massive own goal considering he was going out of contract and we gave him a years extension.I do wish the club would give us some information and either confirm or put an end to the rumours that are circulating on here and other places.

09 Sep 2026 04:33:44
I must be the last person to know, but what rumours? I heard about the physio in London story, but I don't know who would care about that, as private life v club life are different, so I doubt it is that, if anyone is able or willing to clue me in, would be appreciated.

I had just assumed it was his knee keeping him out of the team as he had a knee issue at the end of last season I heard.

07 Sep 2026 13:13:23
Depending how long Shankland is out, he may not miss as many games as would be normal.

Scotland have six matches and we are out off conference so that's another 6.

So only large and league cup. Hopefully available semi finals

07 Sep 2026 14:31:44
Don't want him rushed back if this is a recurrence of the one at Hearts, know better once the scan results are up.

07 Sep 2026 14:40:30
True fork, think we may see him in November.

07 Sep 2026 14:44:40
Hopefully not as bad as feared. 👍

07 Sep 2026 18:10:52
With Shankland being out for a long spell, will Miovski get called upon when required, or will the club maybe look at bringing a free agent?

Thoughts?

07 Sep 2026 18:37:04
I think we'll go with Miovski. Signing a free agent would leave us with 6 strikers on the books taking wages. Apart from that I don't remember us ever signing a free agent after the window was closed, I could be wrong though.

07 Sep 2026 20:51:59
Olivier Bernard summer 2005, I believe, was the last one?

08 Sep 2026 12:36:39
That would be a good reason not to do it again.

06 Sep 2026 17:20:39
Goram, Gazza the player Rangers enquired about very late in window was Henderson, it was considered Raskin would go to Besiktas, ,

06 Sep 2026 17:55:19
Thanks, John.

Interesting, didn't he just join Chelsea? Is it the same Henderson?

06 Sep 2026 17:58:42
Were we not interested in him a few seasons ago also?

06 Sep 2026 18:23:16
Gazza, yes and yes. Chelsea sold 18 in that window and loaned out around 22. Bit of a joke imo.

06 Sep 2026 19:19:47
Thanks, John, would have liked this. Henderson is a top midfielder even at his age.

06 Sep 2026 19:39:43
That's crazy numbers. 40!

I thought our turnover was high. 😂

06 Sep 2026 19:54:05
Henderson was one I would have loved at Ibrox but wages, am sure, would have been an issue. 🤔

06 Sep 2026 22:19:11
So, we would break wage structure for Henderson but not proven Cerny.

07 Sep 2026 07:29:47
We need a hero. Have you any idea how loans work?

07 Sep 2026 07:35:10
No chance that was ever a possibility.

07 Sep 2026 07:58:35
Surely Henderson more proven than Cerny,
Weneedahero, Lad did it at the highest level.
That said, only really Defoe that I've seen come in at end of career and do well in recent times, maybe a few in the Souness era, like Wilkins, Francis?

07 Sep 2026 06:43:24
Where are u reading - wage structure would be broken Weneedahero? No wages quoted to my knowledge🤔

07 Sep 2026 09:13:55
Henderson is injured and hasn't played a minute. Chelsea were also desperate for a cm after selling Enzo, no way they would let go one they just signed this summer. Mental if we thought we had a chance of this one. 😂

07 Sep 2026 09:29:54
Wee need, so u know how much his salary we were paying.


U could be correct, Makhanya, as player said no.


Wishy Henderson is training every day, running, bikes, gym, no on greas. It was a wrist he broke.

07 Sep 2026 09:59:27
He's not available for selection yet, though John, I follow Chelsea as my second team.
No way they would allow him to leave this summer. Not saying your info is wrong. I'm saying that the club, if they wanted a CM, then this is a waste of time, and they should have focused their efforts elsewhere.

07 Sep 2026 11:11:08
Yep, but he is not injured, Wishy.

07 Sep 2026 11:43:31
Fair enough, but Xabi has said he will be available for selection soon, hinting that he's not been available, maybe down to fitness.

07 Sep 2026 12:28:51
That was never happening, only signed for Chelsea.

07 Sep 2026 12:37:07
Wishy, of course he is not match fit, not kicked a ball in nearly four months. Chelsea want him out on loan.

My star, you're correct, however, does that mean clubs can't enquire?

07 Sep 2026 12:54:01
Chelsea want Henderson on loan?
Sorry, John, don't believe that. 😂

07 Sep 2026 12:54:47
John, we can inquire about any player, but it's highly unlikely he'd move after only joining Chelsea.

07 Sep 2026 13:12:12
John, no wonder you don't put names to your rumours. All people do is shoot you down. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. You're 1 of the 1s I like seeing your info.

07 Sep 2026 13:36:32
Wishy, that's cool, u believe or disbelief the rumour.

07 Sep 2026 13:37:53
Jbl, I'm a personal friend of the family. I will just post even less in future. Really don't like upsetting people.

07 Sep 2026 14:42:59
Who have you upset, John? It's a discussion, mate, also said not doubting you had heard it, just don't believe whoever told u it is telling the truth.

07 Sep 2026 17:53:06
You've not upset anyone with this thread, John, quite the opposite. You've created a decent debate.

06 Sep 2026 16:56:17
Read online that the Bouanani option to buy is €18 million.
That can't be right, is it?

06 Sep 2026 17:51:51
It is right, doesn't mean we are going to take up that option regardless of how well he does.

06 Sep 2026 21:51:42
That's the option to secure him but can be negotiated, but would bring others into bidding for him, hopefully we are begging club to buy him, as he's the best thing since Laudrup.

06 Sep 2026 22:19:53
Think he's just a stop gap anyway.

06 Sep 2026 23:51:12
He's impressive, we sign him. If he isn't, we won't. Quite experienced for his age, around 150 games in France and Germany, but most of his games he's been as a ten.

07 Sep 2026 05:49:50
Sorry, that was wrong. He's played twice as much as a rw than he has as am, played all forward positions, played cf a handful of games.

07 Sep 2026 06:55:55
Coopersdad, that sounds all too familiar. 🤔

07 Sep 2026 13:38:59
I hope we do sign him.
