Rangers Transfer Rumours

23 Apr 2026 21:17:48
John have you heard anything regarding the information I brought to the forum yesterday?

As I said I am unsure of the likelihood of that situation.

23 Apr 2026 21:59:48
I made some enquiries today. It's very much low key.

23 Apr 2026 22:04:33
Thank you, my friend. It would only add to the excitement surrounding the club.

23 Apr 2026 22:13:46
Defo. If the authorities allowed it, I could see it be very positive for Rangers.

23 Apr 2026 22:19:50
I see no reason for authorities to block it.

I would hope that the strategic advisors linked to Red Bull would help us navigate the complexity of the undertaking.

23 Apr 2026 23:36:30
This really excites me, Aphe. It's a great bit of info, mate, well done.

23 Apr 2026 23:43:18
Thank you, Stevie, hopefully it is something we can do.

24 Apr 2026 06:59:18
What info, Aphelion, I must have missed what you said, my friend. 🤔

24 Apr 2026 07:42:54
Possible interest in 49% interest in Osterlund FK coops. 👍

24 Apr 2026 09:05:28
Thank you, Fork. As Fork says, SWS, there is potential interest in purchasing a stake in Ostersunds FK.

24 Apr 2026 09:57:08
I was close lol. 👍 😄

24 Apr 2026 10:06:51
Very close, Fork, what is your opinion of this possibility, my friend?

24 Apr 2026 11:26:54
Depending on what the "goal" is, I'm not really sure, mate, if it's to foster development of the in-between players that are in limbo, by all means yes, plus always the chance of a local player. 👍🔱

24 Apr 2026 11:36:12
I would imagine that, similar to Red Bull, it would be primarily to get a foothold in that nation, fostering local talent through the existing academy structure, whilst supplementing the first team playing squad with development players.

It would not act as a B team.

24 Apr 2026 11:36:21
Aphelion, conscious of your Scandinavian orientation, you'll be more clued to the detail here. And, equally aware, you may not be able to divulge much more, which is perfectly understandable.

However, is the purpose here with Ostersunds an attempt to create:

(i) an international version of the 'co-operation' agreement like we have with Raith and Alloa to allow young academy players to develop via loans; or

(ii) a foothold in the market for young Scandinavian players to develop at as a feeder club before they make the move?

Or, dare I say, both?

FWIW: I was lucky enough to visit there a few years back and the nearby ski town of Are. It's a lovely part of the world. And well secluded from wider distractions, allowing an ideal place for young players to develop, focusing solely on their football. The potential is there.

24 Apr 2026 11:43:58
Apologies, Aphelion - you'll see my point above was posted literally 9 seconds after your detailed answer, which clarified my curiosity!

24 Apr 2026 11:44:35
Legal, I think I have said all I can on the matter, my friend.

Any answer to your questions would purely be guesswork and my own hypothesis, as seen above with the response to Fork.

24 Apr 2026 11:46:06
It is a truly remarkable place, Legal, and certainly a great place for young footballers to flourish away from the main football centers.

24 Apr 2026 11:57:17
We also had links with Orange County, Bengaluru(?) and Hamburg and others to various degrees. Would this be similar or a closer link to loan and develop players?

24 Apr 2026 12:02:00
Kaiser, it would likely be incomparable due to the clubs mentioned being strategic partnerships and not any ownership.

24 Apr 2026 12:07:51
Just knew there was some kind of links but don't know anything else about them, cheers mate.

24 Apr 2026 12:24:19
I believe, in terms of Bengaluru and Orange County, they were international cooperative partnerships aimed at providing opportunities for young players to move to Rangers, whilst also sharing scouting and coaching knowledge.

Hamburg, I believe, is a strategic partner that has been advanced due to the close relationship between supporters.

23 Apr 2026 21:02:43
Just read Denso Kasius is being mentioned as a Tav replacement. AZ Alkmaar RB, 23yrs old valued at 6m euro. Described as an attacking wing-back with notable accuracy in his crossing. 7 caps for Netherlands U21's.

23 Apr 2026 22:37:44
He's very much like Tav, so would love this. I'd also love Woutter Gous from AZ, he's like a Ramos / Pepe kind of centre back. I know that's not everyone's cup of tea, but I'd love for us to have an aggressive centre half.

24 Apr 2026 00:41:30
We really don't need an aggressive CB with how we play most of the time. Our CBs are high and expected to be able to defend our wide alone. An aggressive CB would put too much pressure on the other CB to cover when he gets it wrong.

24 Apr 2026 07:31:17
Rangers seem to be referred to a different standard. An "aggressive" player would not have a good time here. Alfredo Morelos played aggressively. Look at how he was portrayed for it.

24 Apr 2026 10:03:02
CalB, agreed, mate, high line defence, why Rohl will want a sweeper keeper signed.

23 Apr 2026 19:14:44
Any truth in rumours jack Butland could be away this summer?

23 Apr 2026 19:42:50
It is possible.

23 Apr 2026 20:03:15
Yes Walter.

23 Apr 2026 20:11:44
Has Jack Butland not got another year left on his contract, guys? 🤔

23 Apr 2026 20:14:54
Yip.

This is why the club were keen to bring in a GK in January, but we just didn't have the headroom financially.

As far as I know, the deal is in place for our new GK.

23 Apr 2026 20:15:01
Walter, I think u can sell a player who has a contract.

23 Apr 2026 20:15:04
He is a player who may be sold, SWS.

23 Apr 2026 20:21:22
Any clues to the identity of the new keeper?

23 Apr 2026 20:36:28
I like Big Jack, but if we want to be a team that plays out from the back, then he needs replacing tbh. Brilliant shot stopper, brutal at times with his feet, same thing that's really hampered his career of playing for England, top teams in Premiership.

23 Apr 2026 20:49:29
What few would we be looking for?

I'd be saying £5m.

23 Apr 2026 20:54:34
Been a good player for us. Had a bit of a bad spell for a while last season, but on the whole been a good keeper.

23 Apr 2026 21:07:22
3/4million. He has a year left. Would be good for us in terms of a fee. I would rather keep him tho.

23 Apr 2026 21:13:26
BB4 hit the nail on the head there, pal. Looks like Rohl wants someone who can play with his feet and big Jack just isn't it. I remember him costing us a fair few times with his terrible distribution.

New keeper wouldn't be a bad thing.

23 Apr 2026 21:17:56
His distribution has improved a lot! He's a class keeper. Be very careful what you wish for. Thinking we can get better than Butlands, a huge ask on our budget.

23 Apr 2026 21:24:03
Never hidden my preference.

Tjark Ernst

23 Apr 2026 21:27:58
It would be incredible if we could attract better than Jack.

23 Apr 2026 21:34:07
I agree with you, Stevie G, mate. Butland's been superb this year. Contender for POTY imo.

23 Apr 2026 23:37:52
Sometimes be careful what we wish for lads.
Jack's an incredibly good gk.

24 Apr 2026 08:15:34
Yeah, changing keeper can be a big risk - the other side had a nightmare which quite a few keepers and eventually had to get Hart for some experience.

24 Apr 2026 08:33:02
Aphelion, keep your fingers crossed as Tjark Ernst is your No1 choice, if we were to be looking for a new keeper.

23 Apr 2026 18:19:27
Anyone got any information on future changes in the stadium or surrounding area?

Any changes to inside the concourses?
Any changes to the old shop that's shut?
Any upgrades on capacity?
Any changes to catering?
WiFi?

23 Apr 2026 20:18:28
WATP usually pops on to give us updates regarding stadium plans.

23 Apr 2026 17:40:03
I see a good few different media sites reporting that we're very interested in hammarby's swedish right back hampus skoglund 🤔I'm sure Aphelion spoke very highly of this guy 👍 Looks like he could well be our no.1 right back target, to replace Tav 🤔

23 Apr 2026 18:15:25
Sws, you'll be happy about something I heard today, mate, I was told we're definitely wanting Charles signed, but won't get him as cheap as I said a little while ago, but not a great deal more, we need to be very quick though.

23 Apr 2026 18:20:14
SWS, my information is he is not primary target, but is certainly high on the list.
If he has been elevated to primary target, it can only mean that any deal for Diogo Travossos is now beyond reach.

Contrary to the post above, it is my understanding that there is no interest in Pierce Charles.

23 Apr 2026 18:35:49
My star, Gareth McAuley, the former Rangers and Northern Irish centre half, said yesterday that Rangers should definitely make moves to sign Pierce Charles, as he stated this young goalkeeper in his opinion is going to the very top and was waxing lyrical about his ability. 👌 Aphelion, I don't know which goalkeeper we'll sign, but hand on heart, I'd be gobsmacked if Danny Rohl isn't interested in Charles, a keeper he rates very highly.

🤔 My star, like yourself, I'd be delighted if we signed Charles, as long as his injuries don't plague him that he's previously had. 🤔

23 Apr 2026 18:42:40
SWS, Danny Rohl might value him well and enjoy working with him.

That does not automatically mean we would actively target him.

I believe that some clubs in England will pay a higher fee than we would be willing to pay for the player.

I also believe there are goalkeepers who are better that would cost less.

23 Apr 2026 18:51:50
The good thing is window has approx 18 weeks till it shuts.

The good thing is Charles can be used as a ten as well.

23 Apr 2026 18:57:37
John, is there interest in Shea?

23 Apr 2026 19:06:55
Most are raving about him now, sws.

John, Pierce Charles, not Shea, unbelievable feet for a keeper.
Would love his brother as well, probably out of reach now, won't be very long before Pierce is out of our reach.

23 Apr 2026 19:07:21
Aphelion, I haven't seen anything of how good our prospective right back targets Trovossas and Skoglund are as Tav's replacement. 🤔 I know you really rate and like Skoglund, so, I assume you rate Skoglund a better right back than Trovossas, mate. 🤔

23 Apr 2026 19:21:07
Sws, I have already answered you regarding that.

I have not seen enough of Travossos to formulate a conclusive opinion of him.

I do not wish to compare who is better when I don't have enough knowledge of one of the players to say either way.

23 Apr 2026 20:07:07
Aphe, not at this stage.

My star, if his feet r that good he must be able to play outfield, not the first goalkeeper to forge a career outfield.

For anyone, name a goalkeeper who played outfield for Rangers?

23 Apr 2026 20:20:04
Thanks, John, I think I totally missed your hint at sarcasm regarding Pierce Charles' ability with his feet.

That ability has not translated into researchable stats as yet.

23 Apr 2026 20:21:30
Probably has played outside when younger, John, or maybe just with his friends and brother, good feet, he's outside his box often.
I don't not know the Rangers keeper though.

23 Apr 2026 20:27:09
My star is a player who started his youth career as a goalkeeper with a famous club.
I'll give a few a chance and answer tomorrow, mate.

23 Apr 2026 20:37:17
Derek Johnston John.

23 Apr 2026 20:37:41
John, you trying to tell me he could play outside with his brother? I'm saying he has very good feet for a keeper, only 20 year old, and most will say the best keeper in the Championship, rated very highly. We don't get him now, we'll never get him and our keeper coach will know that just the same as Rohl.

23 Apr 2026 20:44:21
You saying the Manchester City academy won't have a younger keeper working with the ball at his feet, John?

23 Apr 2026 20:53:29
My star, I saw him plenty in Man City youth, that's all clubs want nowadays, sweeper keeper.

23 Apr 2026 20:59:03
John, that's all I'm saying, mate, good feet for a keeper.

23 Apr 2026 21:00:21
John, I get you now, mate.

23 Apr 2026 21:11:36
Cheers, my star. I've never said he's not a good player. Unlikely to come to Rangers. More chance going to Man City as a 2 or 3.

23 Apr 2026 17:10:58
I also seen we are interested in amar Fateh the Swedish Midfielder from Troyes who is on loan at Dundee United 22 year old

23 Apr 2026 17:23:46
Rangers-man, would like that.

23 Apr 2026 17:53:48
He cost them EUR5m. It was a bit of a coup getting him to Tannadice on loan.

23 Apr 2026 18:23:23
Good player, but I do feel there are similar players, maybe of better value, still playing in Allsvenskan.

It would be good to sign these players from source rather than after the original move.

23 Apr 2026 14:49:26
According to reports in Portugal, Rangers are looking to bolster their backline with Moreirense defender Gilberto Batista. The report says the defender is valued at around €3million (£2.6m) and is a product of the Sporting youth system, playing alongside Gers striker Youssef Chermiti.

23 Apr 2026 15:53:28
Yes, we seem to be hitting on the Sporting Lisbon academy ie. Chermiti, then supposedly interested in the right back Diogo Travossos, and now Gabriel Batista. 🤔

23 Apr 2026 15:57:05
This guy would be a starter, so I'd think we're looking at sell in manny.

23 Apr 2026 16:46:10
Stevie, u do know Batista a right sided ch.

23 Apr 2026 16:47:05
Stevie G, not necessarily, remember Djiga and Cornelius are on loan and Souttar is a scare. We will be looking for 2 centre backs at least that have to be an upgrade on Souttar.

23 Apr 2026 16:59:46
He is one of many options, I understand, currently Falchener is very high on the list.

23 Apr 2026 17:07:16
Stevie, would he not play alongside Manny? As Djiga be away.

23 Apr 2026 17:24:51
I'd prefer Djiga signed, if not a left footed cb and Fernandez playing rcb.

23 Apr 2026 20:59:53
Lads, I'm assuming we're going to sign Djiga.

John, yeah mate, I knew he plays right sided; however, ce trap defence isn't such a specialist set up with regards to which side u play on, it really doesn't matter mate.


Some can't change over sides and most can.


If we sign this lad he'll be a starter, so expect one of Djiga and Manny to not be here.

I actually think there's a better chance Djiga is here than there is for Manny.

23 Apr 2026 21:00:43
And, as Beale points out correctly, Manny played rcb at Peterborough.

23 Apr 2026 21:47:59
My star think Wolves need too much so yes Left sided CB the best option, lots to do though with defence and certainly further big investment unless we sell a couple of players and one of those could be Fernandez if the current rumours are real. Graham from Dundee could ease things.
