Rangers Transfer Rumours

29 May 2026 13:28:06
Following my post last week a further update.
Danny Williams (Wasserman Football Agent) met with Rangers officials again this week
Dan Neil has indicated he will sign for Rangers.
I am also of the understanding we have a goal keeper and left back deal pending and they will be here for pre season in June.

29 May 2026 13:48:31
Cheers, Union.

29 May 2026 13:59:17
Quite a few ex-linked players and Dan Neil are represented by Wasserman (The Team) agency. Couple weeks, and we should hear more about this GK and LB, then hopefully be seen as preseason starts 19th. Not long to wait, folks.

29 May 2026 14:52:26
As always, Unionjack1, thanks for the info, my friend, very much appreciated. 👍 I think it was EHL who said a wee while ago now that he had info we had already agreed a deal on signing a new goalkeeper and he was German, Ernst perhaps. 🤔 I really do rate and hope we do sign Dan Neil, mate, and I actually heard today that we're interested in Motherwell left back Emmanuel Longelo, and I can't remember what other poster mentioned Longelo also the other day there.

🤔 Every time I've seen Longelo against us this season, I've been really impressed with him, as he's fast, strong and athletic and a goal scoring threat as we have found out. 🤔 I honestly wanted us to sign James Penrice so we had him and Rommens as our left backs, but if it were to be Longelo I would be happy enough with him from what I've seen of him so far. 🤔 I'm now beginning to think we won't be signing James Penrice. ☹️🇬🇧

29 May 2026 15:06:35
Sorry SWS, but at no point have I ever said that the GK was German. I'm not sure why you keep misquoting me on this.

29 May 2026 15:10:16
Think it was other posters who alluded to GK being potentially German.

29 May 2026 15:29:54
EHL, my apologies if I've got you mixed up mate. 👍 🇬🇧

29 May 2026 15:36:19
I thought it had been stated previously German also, haha, maybe from Germany was said anyhow, it's no big deal. Hopefully it's an improvement on Jack when whoever comes.

29 May 2026 15:40:31
That contradicts what I heard previously, as was hearing the OOC GK was Stefan Ortega (Nottingham Forest) who isn't with Wasserman.

TBH was hoping that was true, as he is just what we need, experienced GK, good with his feet.

29 May 2026 15:47:11
Someone definitely said the GK was German, but I'm 100% sure it wasn't Ehl. I actually think it was Aphe, and not only saying that, cause he's not here, and I'm not saying it as a criticism either, as it could be true.

29 May 2026 16:01:00
Ayrshire, I think Aphe gave a list of 4 GKs who were all either playing in Germany or were German. Someone else said we have got an OOC or prearranged GK, and then I think both have become intertwined and confused over time.

29 May 2026 16:03:28
Aphelion has mentioned the name Tjark Ernst a few times, but no way has he posted that we are linked with him.
Think he is currently with Hertha Berlin.

29 May 2026 16:05:28
AR, did it get mentioned on here that Ortega was the OOC keeper? If it has been, I've missed reading that post.

29 May 2026 16:13:14
100% a German goalkeeper was mentioned. I clearly remember it.

29 May 2026 16:14:32
Ehl, I am sure you did mention we had agreed to sign a German goalkeeper.

29 May 2026 16:15:33
Thanks Sir Walter, glad you appreciate the posts.

29 May 2026 16:15:57
Yeah Ortega has been brought up a couple of times. Would be a great signing, I think.

29 May 2026 16:26:50
Goram, but was it ever said on here that Ortega was the out of contact keeper signed? Because I've never read that.

29 May 2026 16:35:38
Not specifically, but the name has definitely been mentioned as a rumour

Ernst definitely seemed to originate with Aphe, but can't recall if that was a rumour or a would like to sign post.

29 May 2026 16:40:15
No one mentioned the nationality of the GK. People are getting mixed up, I think, because EHL said OOC GK and Ape posted a list of German GK.

29 May 2026 16:41:58
Aph said we were signing a German keeper. Don't get why people can't just say that. 🙄

29 May 2026 16:50:55
Is it just me that really hopes Stefan Ortega is not going to end up with us? He'll be 34 in November (I know goalkeepers do play till their late 30's, but still, I'd kind of like someone with a bit more 'longevity'), and he's only ever played as a first choice keeper in the German 2nd division.

He's been a back up keeper and hardly really played for the last 5 years. Personally, would prefer someone who's been a regular no. 1. 🤷

29 May 2026 16:59:23
Ehl people read our posts. Make up what they want.

I said on here that we would sign an OOC ch from Germany, if we got it over the line he would be the captain.

People guessing said must be Lewis Ferguson.

29 May 2026 17:02:23
Fourlads, I'm glad you are sure. However, regardless of how sure you are, it won't change the fact that I've never posted anything regarding us signing an out of contract German GK.

29 May 2026 17:21:19
Reading this gave me a chuckle. 🤭

29 May 2026 17:23:14
@John2575, Regarding that captain and someone posting last night about Diogo Leite OOC from Union Berlin. Are they connected? Would love us to sign him.

29 May 2026 17:28:00
EHL was involved in conversations when the German GK was being spoken about, but he never brought it up or said we were signing one.

Aphelion spoke about Ernst and Seimen a lot, even back in January. However, a lot of that talk was his opinion and his opinion only, not stating we had signed or agreed to sign any of them.

29 May 2026 11:00:53
I read a report this morning that Hearts interested in our striker Miovski 🤔They would have to offer us a decent transfer fee for Miovski and i honestly doubt they'd match his wages at Rangers, so unless Hearts could get Miovski on loan from us, i can't see them signing him permanently 🤔

29 May 2026 11:31:45
Even at losing 50% on him, Hearts aren't paying 2 million for him.

29 May 2026 11:39:12
I can't see us loaning a player to one of our rivals to be honest.

29 May 2026 11:39:29
imo a perm deal could be reached from the Mioski side. He needs regular game time, and probably needs to bang in goals to help him get back into his national side after being sent home the last time they played, as he allegedly moaned about not starting.

He will want a move asap, particularly after Shankland signing.

The only thing would be that I'm sure Jamestown and Tony Bloom would be looking for better value like a Bragga - don't think Hearts would pay what we are looking for. Stranger things have happened though!

29 May 2026 11:58:53
Nowhere reputable reporting it, other than one of those daft Facebook suggestion pages, and they couldn't afford the fee/wages. He's likely to head abroad.

29 May 2026 12:16:01
I don't think Miovski's wages are anywhere near as high as many places report, and the fee we paid is also often misreported.

The fee was only around £2m with around the same again in performance related addons.

There is some slight truth in this one, however, it's not coming from Hearts.

It's coming from Rangers, as we have apparently indicated that we would be happy to offer him as part of a player trade, and it's a move that Miovski isn't against.

29 May 2026 12:30:41
If (and that's a big if) Rohl plays up top, would keeping Miovski not be an option? With injuries, cup football, Europe and league football, we will need a few striking options, and I think Miovski up with Shankland could be a decent partnership, especially with how Shanks drops a wee bit deeper now to link the play.

29 May 2026 12:31:33
Interest in Braga, then I take that as EHL.

29 May 2026 12:35:08
Miovski and cash for Braga. 🙏🏿

29 May 2026 12:47:50
Would this indicate that Chermiti might be leaving? Surely we don't go with Braga, Shanks, Nediri and Chermiti.

29 May 2026 12:51:56
I'm thinking more likely James Wilson rather than Braga?

29 May 2026 12:57:30
Burt, if playing with two cf's we'll need more than 3.

29 May 2026 13:05:29
Good shout Gers78, I never thought of Wilson being the swap. I imagine Hearts would be more open to that deal than losing Braga to us.

29 May 2026 13:16:15
Prior to Shankland signing, Miovski, our most prolific goal scorer! Wouldn't be selling him unless we break even.

29 May 2026 13:42:17
Can't help but think he'd score a load of goals at Hearts.

29 May 2026 14:02:02
I hope he leaves, as he has been a disappointment, and I didn't really want him at the time. Hearts could be a good move for him.

29 May 2026 14:04:45
I would keep Miovski.

29 May 2026 14:18:07
Why on Earth would anyone be willing to sell a goalscorer like Miovski to a team which will be one of our rivals in the season ahead? Madness. The only way I would suggest that it could be a possibility is if there was a straight swap for Braga, or they offer Wilson plus cash for him.

29 May 2026 14:51:13
Maybe some swap deal for Devlin then?

29 May 2026 14:58:09
EHL, with you saying it's not Hearts, I'd assume the club we're trying to do a swap deal with is indeed his former club Aberdeen, with us getting Jack Milne from them in exchange for Miovski and whatever money is going to whichever club. 🤔

29 May 2026 15:09:42
SWS, I said the interest wasn't coming from Hearts - i.e. the original post said there were rumours that Hearts were interested in Miovski.

This one is probably being discussed, as we have offered Miovski to Hearts as part of a proposed exchange.

Also, want to point out that it may not necessarily be an exchange for a striker.

29 May 2026 15:39:39
The RW that came on at half time v us and played well, maybe. They've also got a decent RB, which we need probably 2 of.

29 May 2026 16:41:15
Devlin is out of contract, am sure, Stig.

29 May 2026 17:22:41
Ah, Kl Storm

Even better then if we can get him on a pre contract.

29 May 2026 10:28:54
Couple of rumours from site today.
Rangers speaking with Devlin.

Chermiti a wanted man – Forest, Brighton, Leeds and Newcastle from the EPL. Leverkusen, Portuguese team, and a couple of Turkish teams. Chermiti waiting for the right offer that suits both him and Rangers. He doesn't fancy Turkey.

Ferguson is a no go. Player and agent are saying all the right things in public, but his preferred option is the EPL. Players like McGinn and Robertson have shown others what can be achieved by Scottish talent who have worked hard to get to the EPL.

Midfield wise, Rangers would like to move on Diomande and Raskin. Raskin being the easiest if he has a good WC with Belgium.

29 May 2026 11:11:33
Signing Devlin is the modern day equivalent of signing Black, back in the day, and we all know how that worked out. We're going to go from having no No6 to three or four if all these transfer rumours work out.

29 May 2026 11:13:45
Cheers Mph.

29 May 2026 11:15:34
Devlin not for me.

29 May 2026 11:22:30
Can't see any benefit in signing Devlin.

He doesn't classify as homegrown, so would take up a foreign slot for UEFA.

29 May 2026 11:43:00
I like Devlin as a player, thought he made Hearts tick from the #6 role and was missed when out.

However, Goram_no1 makes a good point re homegrown point, so would be down the priority list and back up if we don't get our main #6 target.

29 May 2026 11:48:17
I think Devlin's ok, but I don't think he's better than what we've got now, and we know we need to improve what's already in the building.

29 May 2026 11:50:33
A wouldn't touch Devlin too many bookings.

29 May 2026 11:51:16
Signing players like Devlin means winning zero. He's nowhere near the standard we require.

29 May 2026 12:07:32
Watt (Motherwell) is a better option to play in the No6 position.

29 May 2026 12:10:28
From Dahl to Devlin.

29 May 2026 12:11:09
Xaver Schlager is a free agent after playing for RB Leipzig and an Austrian internationalist?
Not linked to Rangers but would be a good signing.

29 May 2026 12:38:15
I'm sure Watt doesn't count as home grown also though.

29 May 2026 12:35:15
If we sign Devlan I'm done!

FM!!

Defo another Black!

No no no.

29 May 2026 13:09:11
Guys, at the end of the day, what we think or do not think about Devlin is irrelevant, if the club sign him, they sign him. Many on here thought Skov Olsen was the be all and end all and we have all seen how that has panned out.

Has it been confirmed by the club yet that Rangers will not be taking up the option to buy Olsen?

29 May 2026 13:14:51
Devlin was a stick on for player of the year nomination before he got injured. 👀 We could do with a team of players who give the amount of effort per game he does against us and Celtic.

He's always one of Hearts best players. On a free, for me it's a no brainer. Even if it doesn't work out, we spent 0, so being sold would be pure profit.

29 May 2026 13:56:23
Devlin had a fantastic season and, for me, could have an impact similar to Ryan Jack.

Devlin is a player I rate.

29 May 2026 14:04:02
Devlin is a far better player than Ian Black. I don't know what some people watch. He is what we need in middle of park, but I would want better than him if I am honest.

29 May 2026 14:04:20
Devlin is better than Barron hands down.

29 May 2026 14:46:26
I think Devlin's an honest hardworking pro. What he lacks in talent he makes up for with dig and determination.
Do I want him at us? No, we need better, but I kind of agree with Muscatin that to take him on, on relatively low wages and sell him on next summer after the odd sub appearance and cup games, could be a clever bit a business.


Either way, not too fussed.

29 May 2026 16:10:43
Quite a few wanted to punt Chermiti for £1 and a bag of Monster Munch, and we see how he turned out to be by the end of the season! Sure, he's no Marco Negri, but he's turning out to be a good striker. Devlin, on a free, is a good deal.

His wages won't be high either, and if he turns out to be mince, then, sure, we sell at the end of the season, or he turns out to be decent, like he has been at Hearts, and we have a winner.

28 May 2026 22:26:20
Was hearing today we will have wiped £9m from our annual player salary budget with expiry of all recent loan and player contracts

That's out width the players who left in the 2026 winter window, Rothwell, Matondo and Dowell

We have the backing to buy and the salary budget to reinforce big style

Exciting times

28 May 2026 23:27:57
Almost enough to buy Lewis.

28 May 2026 23:29:02
Since the end of last season, Matondo etc, who left early, and players out of contract in summer, we have slashed the wage bill by almost 40%. Most players we paid a fee for are worth more than what we paid for them since last summer.
That's a year in the door and we have a few valuable assets and a much lower wage bill.


We may have made mistakes with Thelwell and RMartin, but business wise the new board are doing very well.
Even after throwing £40 at it we still received £28m back on player sales and I'm certain that £12 down we are the players we now have like Gassama, Rommens and Chermiti to name a few are probably valued at £40m for all 3.

28 May 2026 23:33:56
Fifty, it's almost as if the people in charge know what they're doing. We were a mess before they came in. Something that wasn't and still isn't a quick fix. Trying to explain that to people is hard though. Everyone wants the huge mess we were in fixed yesterday and it's just not possible.

29 May 2026 04:27:50
Rangers just finished 3rd in the league. We can proclaim the owners know what they are doing when we have champions again. Until then, it's not good enough.

29 May 2026 07:15:14
Take in a few others that hopefully leave will be more off the wage bill.

29 May 2026 07:39:52
Looking at the loan players and the OOC players, I'd imagine a significant reduction in the salaries.

However I'd be very surprised if it was £9m.

29 May 2026 08:12:21
We need to replace all the loans we had with permanent players now, however.

29 May 2026 08:50:15
I think it could easily be £9m, EHL. If Tav alone was on around £30k a week, that's £1.5m a year. I'm guessing the likes of Olsen and Djiga couldn't have been far off £30k a week as well. Add in Moore, Arrons, Cornelius, Meghoma, Davies (who has only just technically left), who would all have been in between £15k and £25k, and King on around £8-£10k, and I'm sure £9m won't be far off the figure.

29 May 2026 09:12:18
Gers78, I would honestly estimate that the players you listed would be a saving of around £6m, maybe £7 at a stretch.

Which is still substantial, however, a lot of those players need replacing, so will be a challenge to bring in the required leadership and quality for much less.

29 May 2026 09:33:02
So Fifty6, no credit to Thelwell for Chermiti? He had the foresight and got pelters for it. That boy will be worth millions in the coming years.

29 May 2026 09:45:13
The loan market is a great means of getting players in who we cannot afford to buy, and, more importantly, if they don't perform, can be sent back to parent clubs. If they come here and do well, great. If not, then it means we ain't stuck with guys like Aarons, Skov Olsen.
Loans like Sima, Cerny & Moore have been good for us.

29 May 2026 10:05:14
I agree EHL, not suggesting it'll be a 'saving' by the end of the window. We'll easily have to spend as much if not more in wages to rebuild the squad. However, I'm guessing there will still be a lot more in wages going out the door if we manage to shift Cifuentes, Cortes, Bajrami, Danilo, McCausland, then potentially sell the likes of Raskin, maybe Butland, Diomande, possibly others.

🤷 It's certainly going to be another sizeable rebuild.

29 May 2026 10:12:05
Rohl, it takes time, my friend. To expect the turnaround to happen within 1 season is laughable. The position we were in before the takeover was a joke in a number of ways. The business model needs to improve & the improvement on that filters through to stability in transfers / wage budgets / player recruitment.

We are in a far better position going into next season, some positivity doesn't go a miss once in a blue moon!

29 May 2026 10:21:22
Foolmonty, trouble is these loan players (and OOC / no longer required types) down tools at the end of March. Happened under Clement and happened again this year.

29 May 2026 10:26:01
Amo, correct and why we had to use loan players I imagine. To replace a whole team without a good sale to pay for it would not be possible, firstly for the cost of it but secondly due to FSR. If we had a bit of patience and were willing to let a squad be built, we would be better for it long-term.

29 May 2026 10:27:13
Abada in Glasgow, a rw that knows our league, out of contact soon, see Clement wants him at Norwich, I wouldn't mind us singing him.

29 May 2026 10:29:44
Patience at Rangers will never happen, Angus.

29 May 2026 10:32:29
Signing even.

29 May 2026 10:36:39
Walter's guitar, he better be worth millions, he cost at least £8m.

29 May 2026 11:45:57
Think the current saving could be lower than the £9m, but significant all the same.

It's great news, however, we will need to spend that on new signings this summer, so don't see a saving come end of transfer window.

29 May 2026 14:07:06
Race and Olsen wages alone are over £3 million EHL, I'm surprised it's only £9 million.

28 May 2026 22:11:49
Heard a rumour that we are looking at 2 CBs. Diogo Leite who's out of contract and Zenit CB Vanja Drkusic. I've heard of the second guy who's pretty solid.

28 May 2026 23:14:00
Are they both left sided?

28 May 2026 23:22:16
Leite would be a very, very good signing. I don't know much about Drkusic.

@Zikos, Leite is, yes.

29 May 2026 08:13:34
Don't see us doing business with a Russian club, not many sides do now tbh.

29 May 2026 08:55:31
Don't see what not what's the story. Same as Israel. If the players are good enough, get them in.

29 May 2026 10:17:20
Leite is left-footed, and Drkusic is right-footed. If true, I'd imagine they'd be our starting two. WhatsTheStory, we don't need to do business with the club. If we sign him before the 30th of June (or the temporary rules get extended again) we can sign him for free. Foreign players and coaches playing in Russia can suspend their contracts.

29 May 2026 10:30:26
CJ that sent correct from reading about it. Annexe 7 does allow them to suspend their contract, but they are still signed to that Russian club unless a transfer fee is paid.



Also, if they signed after 7 March 22, chose to arrive in, return to, or remain in Russia despite the ongoing conflict, not notified their club by August 2025, then they can't use Annexe 7.

28 May 2026 21:46:56
Bit of a mad one but I'm seeing a report online that PSV want Chermiti but most likely won't move as it's believed we want a record fee and the price we've supposedly slapped on him is 30M

28 May 2026 22:01:40
Think he could go for £25 million from up here.

Have to say what a turnaround from when he first signed.
What do we know eh. 🙈😅

28 May 2026 22:07:13
Hopefully, keep him for another season. Celtic do that well, they get more out of their better players before selling.

28 May 2026 22:30:08
If we are offered £20m, it's thanks very much, good profit and more in rebuild pot.
Let's be honest, Shankland V Chermiti for goals is edge toward Shankland, but when Chermiti is on a good game, he's a level above, hence the value.


If you asked me £20m and Shankland, I'd have bit your hand off, and with Shanks for free, that's effectively what we would have if we get £20m for Chermiti, and I think we will.

28 May 2026 22:30:11
I'd be keeping a hold of him. What a player he is.

28 May 2026 22:45:50
Chermiti should be sold for no less than 25m. Anything less than that is terrible business.

28 May 2026 22:48:48
Fifty, Chermiti has a better MPG, only 1 less goal & got more assists than Shankland in the league. Rohl likes 2 upfront & Shankland works better with 2, so I'd be keeping him. We can't sell our best players all the time unless it is for silly money, as we'd need to find a replacement (Naderi will be fine, I think, seems more of a Muller type, though, Miovski wants away & doesn't seem interested).

28 May 2026 22:50:48
The club are keen for both Chermiti and Fernandez to stay, hence why the big asking fees.

Both players, from what I am told, are happy to stay and enjoying their time here, Fernandez currently renegotiating on his contract.

There's a whole list of players who have more saleable prices for a reason, the club want rid, Raskin being one.

28 May 2026 22:54:52
Fifty, Chermiti is a far better footballer, and ten years younger, he's only improving. When we sell Chermiti it will break the Scottish transfer record.

28 May 2026 23:01:46
That's not me having a go at Shankland, he's improved his game massively over years, and believe him and Chermiti will be a good double act, but Chermiti is at a different level ability wise.

28 May 2026 23:02:09
In terms of raw potential, Chermiti is one of the best strikers I have seen in a Rangers jersey. He got 15 goals for us last season, and I would fancy him to score 20 next season. He seems to enjoy playing and scoring against Celtic too. You can tell he has the ability to play at a higher level than that of the SPFL.

28 May 2026 23:17:29
If he played for Celtic, how much would they be looking for?

£30M minimum. Why should we sell cheaply? Makes it even harder to catch them.

Especially when selling the likes of Engels for £25M!!

It's madness.

Keep hold of him unless our valuation is met or the player is desperate to leave. Which, given the fact we're the first club to actually give him minutes, I would doubt.

28 May 2026 23:29:51
Money's not our problem, it's how we spend it that counts.

28 May 2026 23:29:51
If we keep him another year and have a good showing in Europe, I think we could get £25-30m. I think he's a fantastic player and I said it from his first game.

He has touch, technique, can pass long diagonals, and has a worldie in him.

He's the best striker we've had in a long long time.

29 May 2026 07:07:10
Let's hope he can back up this season's goals with more next. If a bid of 20-25 mill comes in, could see him gone though? Need to sell when the iron is hot, as we have been stung in the past holding on to players far too long. 🤔💰

29 May 2026 08:26:44
I hope to God we can keep Chermiti for at least another season, and we should accept no less than £25million when we do eventually sell him, as he's extremely talented.

👌 I agree with My star, I think when we sell Chermiti it will break the Scottish transfer record for selling a player. 🤔 I expect him to score 20 plus for us next season. 👍 🇬🇧

29 May 2026 09:36:44
AR32 - A great post. I enjoy reading what you have to say. Seems like good insight, and well balanced too. Keep the posts coming.

Happy Friday, all.

If clubs want our players, then they need to pay what we are asking. If not, they can go somewhere else. The days of cheap sales have gone. It's not like clubs like PSV don't ask for and get massive fees for their players.

I was same stevie, i said after a couple of games this boy has something about him, there was plenty who disagreed but he obviously had something and i liked it a lot

A season with shankland and hr could be any price

Absolutely Tom.

Sometimes u have to have been good at the game to know the difference when people are slating a player.

It's not a put down if others, but I just feel that's a reasonable assumption.



I look for touch, technique, hold up play, running channels, link up and passing, all as indicators of a good forward player even if he's not getting goals and assists.

Seeing on a couple sites that Findlay Curtis is expected to sign the contract offer and will be a definite first team player next season so no loans.

28 May 2026 22:00:34
Great news if he signs.

28 May 2026 22:30:59
Yeah, he will sign new deal and be 1 of 2 players used in that side, up to him if he's the starter or not, but very good back up at worst.

I think Chermiti will out score every striker next season if the players and service improve around him, which it has to.

28 May 2026 22:50:16
He did his part, went out on loan to prove himself a bit, and came back a better player.

28 May 2026 23:11:41
Curtis is the best wide player Rangers have. He should be starting.

28 May 2026 23:45:20
Up and coming players should take note of what Curtis did and take a loan to Kilmarnock and work with Neil McCann. Maybe Lawson should try this route.

Zeb Lawson should be on the bench next season. He already has the physique of a man and is very talented, hopefully get starts in the League Cup, etc. If he can't hack it then can loan him in January ala Curtis, especially if Moore doesn't come on loan, he should be in the squad.

29 May 2026 07:36:42
From what I have seen of Lawson, he's not ready to be a first team player. For all parties, they should tie him down and let him go to one of the affiliated loans for a season, possibly 18 months.

Great news. I hope Curtis has a massive future and success with us.
