Rangers Transfer Rumours

01 Nov 2026 21:28:15
Few pieces of info this weekend.
Mannie openly struggling with the criticism/abuse he's been receiving.
From a personal point we need to get behind players, even if they have been more.
Mivoski wants out as does Chukwuani both not happy with game time and squad position.

01 Nov 2026 22:18:09
Happy to move chuckwuani on. Barron is a better option for us anyway imo. That would be ideal in my eyes.

Miovski can leave when shanks is back no problem. Perhaps bring an older striker in ro fill the position on loan till summer.

And manny needs to man up and take it he gets paid enough.

01 Nov 2026 22:40:19
Really sounds like Manny doesn't have the mind set to play for us, I wish him all the best at Arsenal or Dortmund.

01 Nov 2026 22:43:46
Cheers Union. 👍.

01 Nov 2026 23:14:33
You can't blame Miovski or chuck wanting out they ain't getting games at all.
Move them on in January and replace them.
As for Barron being a better option I just don't see it.
We need better and hopefully someone with some experience a older head to calm things at times.


Xhaka at Sunderland is exactly the kinda player who could really change us and improve us.
I'm not saying sign him cause I know there's zero chance.
But someone along those lines.

02 Nov 2026 07:49:36
I agree with you regarding Miovski and chuckwuani Alex 👍They both deserve to be playing regularly for a good level club as both are good players imo mate 🤔I do think Barron is a good midfielder and given his chance in our squad when brought back 🤔 Regarding big Fernandez, we as supporters should be getting right behind our players as for me although he can take chances and thinks it's too easy at times for me big manny is a talented young centre half 🤔🇬🇧.

02 Nov 2026 08:33:08
What do we value chuckwuani at lads?

I think we should ask €5m but I don't know that we'll get it. I'm alwsya of the opinion u ask as much as possible and see where u end up.

02 Nov 2026 08:36:10
take the abuse? no player should get abused, especially by our own fans. should be getting behind the team. for any one who's played competitive 11 a side you will know confidence can be a huge factor in a players form.

02 Nov 2026 09:14:04
I get both wanting out, both of them have come on and scored goals. Chuck comes on and scores and they rotate a lb into mf instead of him getting available mins.

I mean we won the game so manager has that, but I can understand how frustrating that would be on chuck and the other mf waiting on game time.

Its harder to justify cf as both are developing a good partnership, playing well and scoring goals. But I do think if we do end up a few goals up he should get some game time.

Are the mf that bad in training that a left back takes their spot?

02 Nov 2026 10:39:32
I agree re abuse of players. Some supporters think oh he's paid a fortune we should be able to treat him like crap because of it. These guys are people too. Getting paid thousands doesn't protect your mental health. There are plenty of wealthy individuals openly struggle with that aspect. They should be treated like human beings.

02 Nov 2026 10:45:50
Players have to understand that playing for a Rangers will come with a level of scrutiny and a expectation from fans of a level or consistent performance. Manny needs to concentrate on doing the basics of being a centre half and stop thinking he's from South America cause his surname and doing outside of the foot passes across his own box.

If he can't handle criticism, you have to question his mentality?

02 Nov 2026 11:07:19
Ellwood, see if your never performed at your work, would you find it acceptable to be abused all over social media?
Players get a very hard time now, something never experienced 20/30 years ago,

01 Nov 2026 12:50:40
Bouanani without a doubt yesterday was the best player on the park. 🤔👌His deliveries into the box were superb and even when two or three of the Aberdeen players were on him he got by them most of the time 👌I really like the look of our Algerian right winger. 👍🇬🇧 The danger to Aberdeen most of the time was coming from bouanani. 🤔

However is this another case of having a very talented player on loan and just like Tillman, sima, Cerny and Moore we sadly say cheerio to them after their loan deal with Rangers finishes. ☹️ It's going to cost us a big transfer fee to keep bouanani and might be a fee we just can't afford ☹️.

01 Nov 2026 13:00:45
Excellent Bussiness if other clubs want to pay 30m for him in the summer when we have an agreement to only pay 15m.

01 Nov 2026 13:13:52
Only £15million Nachos 😲 That's a lot of money for us for one player mate 🤔🇬🇧.

01 Nov 2026 15:00:17
We can't pay 15 m for 1 player lads, especially when we have other players with 'obligations' still to pay .

01 Nov 2026 15:02:22
I don't think we'll be buying him but you never know. I agree, it's very early days but in the 3 or 4 games he's had a proper run out he's played well.

01 Nov 2026 15:30:05
Don't think £15m on a player is beyond us, especially when we have something of a settled squad instead of turning over full teams every season.

No doubt some of our team will move on for fees.

Bringing in a couple of high quality players in a season/transfer window is where we should be getting to.

01 Nov 2026 16:05:55
Can we please stop with the we won't pay this fee or that fee. The club set and agreed to an option to buy fee for a reason. If he comes and smashes it and AC feels we should keep him then we will. How many almost £10m fee's have we paid since he took over?

If he continues on his trajectory then I would buy in a heartbeat as we would be selling him for more, biggest trouble is getting him to agree to stay.

01 Nov 2026 17:06:04
Exactly bbj, if they didn't think they could afford it they wouldn't have agreed to the option it's not fifa we are playing not just putting an option into the deal for the sake of it.

01 Nov 2026 17:10:54
Spot on bigbluejim, hopefully he smashes it, looks a very talented young footballer.

01 Nov 2026 17:27:28
Exactly wishy, you'd think so many on here have the inside knowledge and understanding of how we operate. If we didn't think he was worth the fee we would have done just a loan.

Star he has loads of quality and I think as the season goes on he will add more and more numbers to his game.

01 Nov 2026 17:47:01
The discussion I have had with a mate, and this happens very often, is that there is interest in the boy after a good season so you trigger the purchase only to immediately flip him for considerable profit even before next season starts.

01 Nov 2026 18:58:07
I think we can afford him if someone leaves for a big fee. £15 million and then hopefully double our money when selling him on.

02 Nov 2026 09:34:00
All that matters is he is here this season playing well and winning trophies , if we can't afford him next season then we move on to someone else but the main thing is we win the title with him this season.

31 Oct 2026 18:59:58
I understand personal terms have been agreed with Rangers and Casper Widdel representatives.

I have also been told that Excelsior have accepted they will lose him and are willing to allow him to leave in January for around €500,000.

31 Oct 2026 19:50:18
Replace Souttar mate.

Not seen him but read bad reports.

Fi gers crossed they're weong.

31 Oct 2026 20:04:52
I've not got a clue who he is, but I remember about 20years ago buying a strip in the Rangers shop and the guy serving me (probably a Tim under Martin Bain)refused to put Casper on the back of the top because he said it was policy that they would not print nick names on the strips, my quick thinking told the guy that that he was Danish and Casper was his real name and he reluctantly put it on, I was telling lies as my mates nickname was Casper because of his white hair but utter madness that back then we had discrimination against the Caspers of the world.


Thankfully to this day he still has the top in New Zeland and still wears it.

31 Oct 2026 20:05:47
He has impressed me in each of the occasions I have seen him Stevie.

Everyone can have a bad game, we have players playing weekly that don't perform.

31 Oct 2026 20:59:39
Absolutely nato, I'll reserve judgement as always.

On another subject, how good is Bouanani? He's a star player isn't he.

31 Oct 2026 21:59:57
Don't think it's a case of they've accepted they'll lose him, It's more they don't want him as they haven't offered him a new contract. His current contract runs out June 2027 and they haven't offered him a new one. A January sale gets them a small fee. It's a wee bit of a worry when no teams in the league he plays in are interested, especially when he's going for next to nothing, although reading up on him he's strong in the air, can play out from the back comfortably and is tough in the tackle.

As long as he's not a replacement for Makhanya!😅.

31 Oct 2026 22:07:01
Stevie, Bouanani looks a proper player! Possibly too good for the SPL to be honest. Himself and Min-su look to be building up a nice understanding/partnership with each other also.

31 Oct 2026 22:20:55
RWN, buonanni looks as if he's performing about 70% of his ability.

When he steps it up as season goes in he's going to be unstoppable.

I'm over the moon with the team.

31 Oct 2026 23:04:08
Three cheers , I was in the shop around 20 years ago as well and tried to get my brothers nickname Waldo on the top and they wouldn't put that on for the same reason , no nicknames , you're the first I've heard with the same issue haha.

31 Oct 2026 23:10:33
Only thing I can think of with shop refusing names is they may have names already made up and don't want hassle of making letters uo themselves.

Can't be that though.

It must be through people getting so called offensive words on the tops.

31 Oct 2026 23:11:56
Bounani absolutely is an excellent young talent.

Does need to make a decision quicker but undoubtedly best player on the pitch today.

Makhanya again brought composure to the back line.

31 Oct 2026 23:14:18
RWNm Rangers had an agreement with Excelsior Rotterdam in the summer of this year for a reduced fee.

This was because Rangers knew about the club holding an option to extend.
Excelsior activated that option but due to Souttar not leaving in the summer the deal was shelved.

No contract has been offered by Excelsior as they have been resigned to losing him since the summer of this year and know that any attempts at re-signing him would be futile.

31 Oct 2026 23:44:24
Think it seems from what we hear he's going to be coming It January it seems a certainty

Nati what's his strengths and style mate

I'm actually going to go watch him right now see if I can find that game he was bad it was 5-3 defeat.

01 Nov 2026 00:22:38
He's one of the few that his YouTube highlights make him look bad, which is some going.

01 Nov 2026 00:30:44
Blue who's that.?

Nato makhanya is an incredible talent best I've seen at Rangers in my memory mate. Last talent like him was gio Mols arteta , he's got it all . I don't mean to do my usual ott mate but he could be one of the best in the world in 3-4 years.

01 Nov 2026 00:32:14
We got a top a good few years back it was the grey and black striped umbro top with carling I think it was when we had Darcheville and my wife got his number and Destroyer printed on it. That was in about 2008 so they might have changed the policy round about then.

01 Nov 2026 00:43:26
Robbie should've got 69 destroyer mate hahaha.

01 Nov 2026 05:53:32
500k good buisness.

01 Nov 2026 07:24:34
I read Widdel deal was agreed in summer but was dependent on Souttar leaving. Has anything changed in that regard? Not heard anything about Souttar recently.
On the shirt names thing, my mate regularly plays 7s and wanted to all play in Gers tops.

His mum was to order them and before asked what numbers they wanted. He's a striker so said 9 but she came back with a 1. He was like No that for GKs and she said but you're my number 1. He took some ribbing for that one. 😂😂.

01 Nov 2026 07:29:10
Stevie G you must be quite young if he is best player you can remember at Rangers.
Think he will go onto have good career, so let's enjoy him while he here, hopefully he helps us win league before he leaves. but at moment think that is doubtful the way are playing at this time.

will get caught out if we don't start scoring when on top., don't t see us beating anyone 7-1 we would sit back after getting 2 or 3 in front. McInnes far to cautious a manager, we should be high pressing teams right from the start, if we are as good as some think, lets start showing it.

01 Nov 2026 13:54:45
Stevie, he is an all round central defender.

Calm and composed on the ball with a good passing range and relatively dominant in aerial field and strong in the tackle.

He is not as quick but makes up for this by his positional sense,

01 Nov 2026 09:04:10
Kaiser, i cannot attest for the veracity of this information but I will tell you what I have been told.

I am told that it is increasingly likely that their will be a mutually agreed settlement to release Souttar from his contract in January to allow him to seek employment elsewhere.

01 Nov 2026 19:16:59
Can remember of watching some of his highlights a few months ago when linked, that was one of the things that stood out, his range of passing.

01 Nov 2026 21:19:25
Yes my star, he is a very composed and comfortable defender and i think would suit Rangers and Scottish football.

02 Nov 2026 00:18:49
Jasp I'm 40 mate.

02 Nov 2026 01:05:17
See his side lost 0-9 on Sunday, don't know how he played.

29 Oct 2026 22:29:56
On the subject of left wingers I didn't know that kvara has a younger brother , thornike, plays same position and many say he's going to be even better than kvara.

He's only playing UEFA youth league just now but looks about 18 To me.

Would it be wise to move for him and throw him into the first team?

Looks a cracker.

Give him a wee search if it interests yous.

29 Oct 2026 23:07:01
Stevie, never seen him, but read something on him not very long ago, meant to be many top clubs interested in him, mate.

29 Oct 2026 23:44:56
Beale I didn't know he existed til earlier today mate.

I think if we can offer him 1st team football and a good wage we could have a chance.

The big euro clubs will only put him in their youth teams.

29 Oct 2026 23:56:17
Stevie, Dortmund, Bayern Munich, RBL, both Milan clubs, never seen any from England, mate, just something i read recently, they were watching him with play for the Georgia under 21, it was only weeks ago, don't know what his price would be, he's valued 2m I'm sure, looked him up at the time.

30 Oct 2026 00:08:27
Dortmund and Leipzig would be good moves for him mate.

I'd certainly be making an enquiry that's for sure.

30 Oct 2026 07:06:18
I think he's pretty much a done deal to join Bayern, however even if he wasn't we can't sign him as he's only 16.

30 Oct 2026 08:10:58
Yep, 16, & let's throw him into the first team for games? We've got form for that right enough!!
I think we have bigger issues tbh, since our renaissance beating Celtic twice, we have reverted to type & dropped 4 league points, remind me how many we are behind Celtic??

30 Oct 2026 11:41:38
BAR72, We have a terrible record for developing youth and actually taking advantage of their talent over their value. I think you're right, we need to focus on why the same ribbons adorn the SPL trophy year after year.

It's all very well cracking jokes when they drop the odd three points but if seems we drop two more often which inevitably does us more damage when the curtain comes down.

30 Oct 2026 13:33:55
Well cubarsi played for Barca at 16 and is still there

Rooney and probably hundreds of others.

For a world class talent exceptions can be made .

Ehl I didn't think he was that young, he looked 18/19 to me. So fair enough to u.

Why is it we can't sign a 16 yo foreign player?

I wasn't aware of this rule. Can someone explain it?

30 Oct 2026 13:48:18
Put simply Stevie, Brexit.

30 Oct 2026 15:32:12
Stevie I used to get on the bus with Craig Moores nephew and he showed me texts of Moore telling Ross Wilson about kvara about 2 years before he went to Napoli, which the reply was we don't need him we have hagi. Hindsight is a wonderful thing eh😂.

30 Oct 2026 16:24:48
Well that never aged too well for Ross Wilson Wishy did it haha cheers for sharing that though mate.

Ehl cheers mate , yous think exceptions would be made for players of a special pedigree.

30 Oct 2026 17:34:11
Stevie nothing to do with exception it's fifa rules to protect minors.

30 Oct 2026 22:10:24
How are the English teams managing to sign star foreign kids then?

And what about dro Fernandez going to psg from Barca?


John there are exceptions in past, I believe Islam feruz was made an exception in the past for example.

I take it that's changed with brexit but I wasn't aware it was a fifa rule due to other clubs seemingly doing it. I assumed it was a government rule which could be appealed

Every days a school day.

30 Oct 2026 22:54:50
Stevie, English club do sign them, but they don't arrive until they reach the age required mate.

30 Oct 2026 22:56:02
Look at how many Chelsea signed, but never left the present clubs until they meant the age required.

30 Oct 2026 23:39:01
Beale no worries mate thanks, certainly not ideal for us at n terms of securing quality youngsters however it gives us more incentive to produce our own.
Every dark cloud has a silver lining n all that mate.

31 Oct 2026 08:54:22
If he's 16 and good enough he plays we are terrible at that let's shield the youth how's that worked out players play at far bigger and more demanding clubs than Rangers at 16 yes you need to be able to play but we shield players far to much imo.

31 Oct 2026 12:44:15
Rfc, he's been playing with Georgia 21s That's how I assumed he's 18-19.

31 Oct 2026 12:47:05
Stevie, wrongful mate but to be fair I'm fed up explaining

Feruz had a UK citizenship. go read about how it works, then you will know next time.

31 Oct 2026 13:42:06
Cool John.

We're not all experts on the rules mate as they can be pretty confusing.

Some just go with the flow in that regards.

We're all mistaken at times.

31 Oct 2026 18:58:49
Stevie yamal has a wee brother. Should sign him for the other wing.

31 Oct 2026 20:13:21
Orange, that would all come down to talent, Bayern Munich must see something.

31 Oct 2026 22:21:19
Orange, I've watched this lad. He's quality.

31 Oct 2026 22:22:27
Just spent some time. Not sure how much? At Bayern training centre.

I read this after EHL told me they're in for him.

He spent a bit of time with them this season.

27 Oct 2026 19:02:34
Does anyone itk have any details on the Bouanani situation, have we made a down payment already or have we just paid a loan fee?

Was hoping we have made a down payment already affecting the option to buy of 15 million meaning it would be less if we opt to keep him?

Maybe just wishful thinking or hoping 🙄.

27 Oct 2026 19:25:08
This looks like one of they loan deals that improve the team short term but we aren't going to make permanent , not at that price anyway . that's not to criticise the player I just don't see us laying out that type of money for any player in the near future.

27 Oct 2026 19:48:24
When we have Godfrey and Penrice to be paid for so unless we get big money for some body don't see it happening.

27 Oct 2026 21:24:01
When Chermiti got injured and the club realised how long he'd be out for we bought Kelsy without having to sell. Min-Su was also added.
I think if we were to win the league with a shot at Champions league the club would pay for Bouanani.

27 Oct 2026 21:33:21
AC has said the plan is for 2 big signings a year and no more massive ins and outs every window.

Penrice is only another million euros so can as good as not count that.

Godfrey only around 4 million but he'll only stay if he's in the team by seasons end.

I think if buonani keeps performing like he is the club would definitely pay the fee. Remember it's in euros so that's around £12m not 15.

I think it will come down to the player and what other offers he gets.

27 Oct 2026 22:21:38
Spent 18.5m when out of Europe, Bouanani performs well, reckon he'll be signed.

27 Oct 2026 23:16:42
Could be great all season still don't think we put that money out on him , does not mean we won't get him though just means others can come in for him if we try to get him for a lower fee.

27 Oct 2026 23:36:48
Wouldn't be so sure Cooper, we'd know we wouldn't get Ferguson for 12m, but interested.

27 Oct 2026 23:37:27
Think we'd get Ferguson for 12m next summer though.

27 Oct 2026 23:51:32
Bouanani is the younger version of cerny by the looks of it. If we could negotiate down a bit its doable. He looks like he's cemented his place as a starter.

27 Oct 2026 23:58:08
Lets see how the season goes. accounts be out next week ish, next seasons will be grim.

28 Oct 2026 00:14:38
Beale, I absolutely think we will sign Lewis in the summer mate.

I think we'll sell Raskin and sign Lewis for around £10m give or take £2m

I think buonanni for about £10m would also be a realistic signing.

28 Oct 2026 07:37:10
Didn't know it was 15m for Bouanani!!
Enjoy while he's here lads, we won't pay that & still loads to shift & a couple needing payments still.
Nice thought though.

28 Oct 2026 08:57:12
If he ends up with 20g/a this season then think they'll be desperate to sign him, whether he wants to come as we weren't his first choice this summer. Not going to get to attached to him anyway.

28 Oct 2026 10:54:46
Maybe the sale of Gassama might fund the Bouanani transfer balance books give or take 3 million.

28 Oct 2026 12:26:01
Gap that's exactly what I was thinking mate

Minsu backed by Curtis on left

Buonanni backed by yokota on the right

Gassama finances the buonanni deal.

28 Oct 2026 12:31:28
Think Ferguson coming is a sure thing barring injury etc , also think our outlay in summer will be covered by out goings , still think if we go for Bounanani it will be below the asking price , hopefully he is consistent all season and it's a no brainer to go for him.

28 Oct 2026 12:35:58
I think it depends on making sales, as we did not make the sales we expected in the summer. The squad size is too large; admittedly, Souttar will be out of contract, but we still have all the usual suspects that never seem to move out.

Once Chermiti comes back from injury, then a skriker will need to go (on top of Miovski), as we can't have players that are worth several £Ms sitting on the bench week in and out. I expect that we will want to see a youth player or sign a prospect to make a stake for a squad place (at less money), albeit a minor role supporting from the bench. If we do that, we may be able to pay for Bouanani.

I think it is fair to say that we did not plan to spend the money we did late in the transfer window for various reasons: Raskin not sold, Chermiti's injury, poor attacking/wing play, dire results/performances and loss of European income. We have spent future money, so our financials will be grim reading, albeit that the European's lost income will be in next year's figures, so pressure will mount in the summer to start balancing the books.

The investors and AC expect the club to be self-sustaining, so there is a limit to chucking in serious money every season, and to be fair, they have so far, but probably much more than they planned.

Have to say that based on what we've seen in recent games, he could be a good permanent signing. However, it is also too soon to know whether he can consistently perform through the season yet - look at Gas, just when you write him off, he puts in a cracking performance, and you think great we have a player here, and then you get the twin brother back a couple of games later, and the cycle repeats.

28 Oct 2026 12:49:03
I must admit as things stand I can't see us paying out £4 million for Godfrey either unless one of the other central defenders are sold .If he can't get into the team this season it would be a lot of money to pay for an unused back up.

we will sign Penrice and we may sign Bouanani but not at £15million .If he has a good season and the price comes down maybe but not at the figure currently being quoted.

28 Oct 2026 13:45:08
If we can have a winning team and all at a decent age then the tranfer windows with 2 or 3 out and in then we are on the right track on and off the field , been a gamble every season with constant rebuilds which gives the opposition a start on us not to mention euro qualifiers which is a banana skin at best of times without a team of strangers being thrown together and hoping they click straight away.

28 Oct 2026 17:04:10
I think by time seasons ended Godfrey and maka will be our cb pairing.

We will likely sign Woddo so that means Manny may be sold for a massive shortfall in what we all expected tbh.

£6-8m could be the figure wirh a 20-30 % sell in profit.

Might be more to our benefit that a £15m sale.

Manny be better in Italy France or Germany wirh a slower pace to the game.

£4m for Godfrey if he's fit is a steal of the century. he's Goldson over the back if not better.

28 Oct 2026 18:55:59
What are you basing your high opinion of Godfrey on , he has done nothing for years and so far , through no fault of his own, has done nothing in a Rangers jersey yet you rate him higher than Manny and more amazingly Connor Goldson .

28 Oct 2026 21:09:55
Wsl it's a very fair question maye and quite right for asking

When he came through at Everton he was the next big English CH mate.

Didn't work that way. If it did he wouldn't be on out bench.

To answer you're good question though.

We signed goldson from Brighton u23s as 1 of the overaged players.

He was nowhere near the 18 mate.

What I'm saying is Godfrey quality and could I say pedigree? Is best in the league.

If he's fit mate he's an EPL defender playing for Rangers mate.

What do u think of him bro c.

28 Oct 2026 21:10:50
Wsl just finished reading you're reply sorry.

I say he's potentially better than goldson.

I think a lot would agree mate.

I remember a helluva lot saying g that.

Im sorry but anyone who thinks bouanani is worth the money quoted for him you're crazy, 10million+ for him is daylight robbery. He is mediocre at best, there are better players out there for much less money. A goal and an assist in 300+ minutes is terrible and most definitely not worth 10 million pounds.

28 Oct 2026 22:26:23
Stevie, ill reserve judgement on your comments about Godfrey however saying Fernandez would do better in Germany or Italy etc is difficult to support. If he can't defend against Dundee or Hearts he's no chance in the higher leagues of those countries. He consistently let's us down - i just hope that we can get back what we paud for him.

28 Oct 2026 23:55:46
CJ, How long is Bouanani getting? how many minutes has he played? if you can't see he is a talented young footballer, fair play.

29 Oct 2026 01:05:47
My star, he could have the whole season mate he will not impress enough to warrant a 10-15 million price tag. He's a player I've known about for a few years he was good for nice in the 24/25 season but definitely hasn't lived up to the standards expected of him at stuttgart, and i personally doubt he will live up to the hype here either.

29 Oct 2026 01:40:02
21 years old CJ.

29 Oct 2026 07:24:50
how is a goal and an assists in 300 minutes terrible for a winger who hasn't had a proper run in the team and only started 3 games 😂 Don't look at Curtis or Kims goal contributions 🫣.

29 Oct 2026 11:42:43
Spot on Tav.

29 Oct 2026 12:23:09
And your point about his age is what exactly? There's a list of 21 year old players playing in far better leagues with far better contributions. Or what about 20 year old niklas Fuglestad who has a goal involvement every 147 minutes? Who btw is a year younger and would cost us close to 2 tenths of the cost bouanani will cost us.

Tav, I'm one of those who are very disappointed in what I've seen from Curtis this season. As for Kim, his work rate is what makes him effective. Comparing bouanani's work rate to Kim is an insult.

Tell you what my star, I bet you £50 he won't have more than 15 goal involvements this season.

29 Oct 2026 12:25:10
Stevie_G_new , you are basing Godfreys potential on what he did years ago but the fact is his career over the last few years has been on a downward spiral and up to now we have not seen anything to tell us what he will be like for us .That is like saying Alex Lowry is a great player because he was seen as the next big thing when he broke through with us.

I'm not comparing Godfrey and Goldson before they signed for us because that's irrelevant , I'm saying that Goldson did a great job at Rangers and so far Godfrey has done nothing to suggest he will be as good or, as you claim, better ,

29 Oct 2026 12:33:15
CJ, how many minutes has Bouanani played for Rangers?

29 Oct 2026 13:15:10
Already said mystar but nice to see you avoided the rest of my comment. I look forward to the end of the season when your opinion has changed.

29 Oct 2026 14:39:46
CJ, Bouanani gets more time for me, hopefully he does get 15 goal contributions, but why gamble on something you want to happen is my question? Or would you rather win £50 and him fail?

29 Oct 2026 14:45:01
CJ, by the way I'll take that bet, but our £100 goes to charity.

29 Oct 2026 17:41:38
Who said anything about comparing work rates, you said 2 goal involvements for a winger in 300 minutes is terrible which it isn't and he's only played 282 so 0.64 goal contributions per 90. With the amount of games left in the season and if he plays more, that rate as it stands would probably see double figures in goals and assists.

Whether he does or not idk but that rate isn't terrible for a winger idk where you get that from, what rate are you expecting?

29 Oct 2026 17:43:47
forgot he played in the league cup for 16 mins but that still doesn't take him to over 300 minutes.

29 Oct 2026 18:17:14
I'll take that mystar 👍🏻.

I don't want any player to fail when they play for us btw. But I also know his stats and his history, and it's going to take some serious work from players and staff to get in to 15 goal involvements. If he was played as a 10, i could easily see him hitting those numbers.

29 Oct 2026 18:32:36
CJ, he's got a couple in under 300 minutes, was impressive the last game, just support every player that pulls that jersey on, but judging a player in under 300 minutes in a Rangers jersey just doesn't work for me, I'm really not interested in what he's done at any other club, 21 years old, all I'm seeing is a young talented footballer, his fee has nothing to do with him, he impresses in the remaining season, I believe we will spend 12m on him.

29 Oct 2026 23:55:20
Lanzarote I suggested Italy or Germany as it's a much slower game there and the pace of Scottish football could be what's causing mannys mistakes.

Shane Duffy was a very good cb for Brighton and couldn't hack it in Scotland.

The unique Mensa of our game up here makes it a difficult place to play it's not always about quality or talent it's about being able to adapt to pace and physical challenges and many cannot do that.

Wsl that's fair enough mate but I think lowrys a very good player too.

He's playing well for Motherwell now.

30 Oct 2026 11:44:53
If we didn't try to sign Cerny or Sima after the seasons they had then we surely don't make Bouanani our record signing.

31 Oct 2026 21:05:48
Bouanani was different class today, he continues with they performances I'd love him being a Rangers player next season, and believe we'd be all over it.

01 Nov 2026 14:43:15
Plain and simple for me CJ is bouanani is a talented left winger and if you can't see that then that's up to you 😲🇬🇧.

25 Oct 2026 19:38:52
Reassuring word from Richard Gough, tom Guy that he spoke to maka's agent and they want him to stay there for a few years and get 100 games under he's belt before making the big move.

25 Oct 2026 21:35:26
Stevie, I read something about last week mate, hopefully we do get hundred games out him before he moves on.

25 Oct 2026 21:45:16
Perhaps it was from last week then mate I've only just seen it tonight.

That's the best thing for him to do for himself and if he's well advised he would give us 3 seasons so he can learn a bit in Europe twice (hopefully )

Be hard for us to hold onto him after 2 though.

25 Oct 2026 21:49:01
My star, i also hope we get 100 games out of minsu kim before he eventually moves on because that kid is special imo and will have a lot of interest in him imo 🤔.

25 Oct 2026 22:40:17
Coops I'd say it's more important for Makhanya to learn his trade a bit longer here than it is for an attacker mate.

I think we have a lot of good young players here btw and we're going to have a lot of interest in most of our squad.

26 Oct 2026 09:36:15
100 games will be end of next season, however we know money dictates.

26 Oct 2026 10:19:48
I'm sure his agent is telling the truth until the first real bid comes onto the table, then I'm also pretty sure that his statement becomes bull.

26 Oct 2026 12:07:33
His value will rise even more when he plays in Europe good for him , great for us .

26 Oct 2026 12:39:17
At least we'll have plenty of notice of when we will need to sign a replacement .

26 Oct 2026 15:40:18
Yeah I think the kind of move makhanya wants and the fee we want for him will both only be achievable after decent European experience and challenges.

26 Oct 2026 18:00:56
U guys do realise we may not qualify next year either.

26 Oct 2026 18:25:02
Christ John you're full of positivity these days maye.

McInnes isn't a god manager and we're not qualifying for Europe next season all in the one day.

We're coming g at it from a positive perspective that we have this team still together and add 2 starters and manage to qualify.

26 Oct 2026 18:45:34
Think it's the required amount of rounds to get thru before the actual qualification, that in anyone's books makes it tricky.

26 Oct 2026 19:53:21
Fork it will be mate.

Atleast we don't have international tournaments next summer and our players haven't had a busy campaign as such this season come that time.

I prefer to assume we will get there than assume we won't mate is all.

27 Oct 2026 09:02:04
Forgetting AFCON stevie.

27 Oct 2026 14:36:19
Is afcon this summer mate? I thought theyd all been put into the same summer now and would only be every 4 years again?

That's must just be the South American one that's fell in line then?

We'll that's a bit of a bummer mate.

27 Oct 2026 15:48:28
We need to win the league or Scottish cup or it could be Conference League albeit there are some decent teams in it but the financial hit we will take no European football this season.

And some of the player we are trying to move that are or have cost Rangers money easy to lose track who we have out on loan and how much we paid to get them.

28 Oct 2026 12:48:53
We are so far off the required quality to play in Europe; I think John makes a good point. That may change as the season progresses, but with a pile of qualifiers, we shouldn't assume that we will qualify. There is nothing wrong with being positive and hopeful, but we have a long way to go before I'd be putting money on it.

Results and performances are better, but the schoolboy errors are still there in defence, which get severely punished in Europe more so than in the SPL. We can still find it difficult to beat teams like Dundee, so we need to be vastly superior as the season progresses to stand a chance, let alone get through the qualifiers.

I do love the positive views, but equally, if we are being realistic, then John is probably right.

30 Oct 2026 07:43:04
Nope CONCAF is on too bud.

31 Oct 2026 12:45:16
Cheers fork. I thought theyd all been sorted intk one summer.

God forbid they make a bit of sense out of it all and do that.

25 Oct 2026 18:35:20
Brentford have sent scouts to watch Naderi last few games.

25 Oct 2026 19:58:20
Think the big man's got a few years before he's ready for epl mate what do you think?

Clubs like Brentford like to monitor players for a while, the same as maybe EHL had said we did with Pandur for 3 years.

25 Oct 2026 20:30:12
I spoke to a Sunderland scout recently who was up to watch Naderi, and when I was at Everton the other week I got asked a few questions about him.

It's good to see that so many of our players ate attracting attention.

25 Oct 2026 20:32:51
Through The Lines, i'm told it's minsu kim that the brentford scouts have been watching the last few games mate 😲I'm also told sunderland had reps watching minsu also 🤔🇬🇧.

25 Oct 2026 20:41:45
Think a few will be on peoples radars but don't think many will be imminent. Should get a couple years from them or at least till they've had another stab at Europe to try and impress. MinSu could be top of the lot.

25 Oct 2026 20:45:25
Concur 100% with EHL in that it's got to be a positive if our players are being looked at by others. Can only mean they are doing the right things on the park for us.
🔴⚽🔵👍.

25 Oct 2026 20:48:03
If we can keep this squad together and maybe improve 2 next summer then we could have a good crack at Europe.

26 Oct 2026 10:16:26
Well anyone who wants any of our players I think the strength or their interest and desire to get the player will be tested as from the outside looking in it doesn't look like Cavanagh and his board will be selling for peanuts they will hold on for top dollar or be happy to keep the player with us.

26 Oct 2026 12:42:53
I'm not in the know so I've always wondered, how do people know who a scout is up to watch . Unless he actually tells somebody surely the scout could have been watching, Fernandez, Makhanya, Raskin, Minsu, Naderi or even somebody else.

26 Oct 2026 18:05:00
Wsl exactly, u may have a target but you're watching everyone on the pitch

When we signed fernandes we were scouting the striker who went to qpr.

28 Oct 2026 12:50:59
Positive that there are scouts watching our players.
